Show notes

We’re here to answer the question everyone is asking, is the AirbnBUST really happening? Are bookings down? What about occupancy? How do hotels and STRs size up to each other? Is revenue management actually important? This month, VP of Research, Jamie Lane joins VP of Marketing, Mariah Kamei to provide data-driven answers to these questions and more.

With 26.6% more nights stayed than in the same month in 2019. September was the strongest month for demand growth compared to 2019 levels since the start of the pandemic. Average daily rates also continued to grow, 5.6% YoY. Occupancy only declined 1.2% YoY to 58.1% but is up +11.1% vs. 2019.

Braydon Ross: Owning, Arbitraging, and Co-hosting Oh My! Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

From owning, to arbitraging, to co-hosting, he has dabbled in it all. On this week’s episode, Mariah sits down with our first guest, Braydon Ross, to talk about what it takes to start your very own short-term rental business.

Braydon started his career by going to University and quickly realized that path wasn’t for him. He saved up to buy his first investment property and quickly realized how expensive operating and owning can be. That led him to Airbnb arbitrage! Braydon gave us very candid moments from his early days of Airbnb operation, showing us the failures he had that allowed him to learn, grow, and be successful in this business.

He explains what Airbnb co-hosting it is, how you can get started, and how it differs from property management. He also shows us that there really is a low barrier to entry, and anyone can start you just have to know the proper steps to take. Along the way, Braydon offers practical advice and lots of inspiration for innovation in the industry!

Data Before Drama: The Real Story Behind Recessions and Short-Term Rentals Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

If we go into a recession, will it be as bad as prior ones? Will the hospitality industry take a hit? Should you be investing in real estate right now? Is the latest news from the Federal Reserve keeping you up at night? You’re not alone. In our first-ever episode of the STR Data Lab, Mariah Kamei and Jamie Lane discuss what past recessions can tell us about the current economic market.

This episode covers these burning questions from two perspectives–travel demand and housing prices. In previous recessions (2001 and 2008), the consumer was more likely to stray away from travel, but at the moment, this seems unlikely to happen. And luckily, the short-term rental industry offers a wide variety of accommodation types and price points to match the wallet size of many travelers.

Additionally, a shift in the housing market will create some opportunities. Over the past three years, we have watched housing prices increase by 42%. With the potential price decline, you may just be able to find a long-term investment in your price range.

Huge thank you to our podcast producers at hospitality.fm!
