What are the most important features to look for in a vacation rental property?
To maximize returns, Kelly recommends looking for properties with:
Prime Location - close to the lake, entertainment, or attractions.
Desirable amenities - hot tubs, game rooms, and great views perform well.
STR friendly zoning and regulations - ensuring legal operation is paramount.
Design - well-designed rentals attract more bookings based off of the photos and reviews.
Kelly helps investors analyze listings based on these factors and more, to ensure long-term success.
Do I need a property manager or can I self-manage?
It depends on several factors - location, community rules, and your desired level of involvement.
Self managing can save costs, but requires you to be on-call for guest communication and issues.
Hiring a professional STR management company can help optimize pricing, cast a broader net for marketing, and handle day-to-day operations.
Kelly offers guidance on both approaches so you can choose the best option for your lifestyle.
What are the biggest mistakes new STR investors make?
Some common pitfalls include:
Underestimating expenses - repairs, furnishings, and seasonality impact cash flow.
Ignoring local regulations - zoning laws and permitting can make or break an STR.
Poor marketing and pricing strategy - a great listing needs dynamic pricing and strong visuals.
Not optimizing guest experience - great reviews = more bookings and higher rates.
Kelly helps investors avoid these mistakes by providing expert insights, market analysis, and high-level guidance throughout the process.
