Thanks For Visiting 331. Use Data to Increase Profits in Your Short-Term Rental Business
Today’s expert guest is Kenny Bedwell, in a session recorded at TFVCON2023 in Columbus, Ohio. Kenny founded STR Insights in 2021 as a tool to help investors find the most advantageous STR markets for their unique circumstances using advanced data analytics.
We pulled Kenny aside to have a side chat – between his immensely popular educational sessions at the conference – to dig in a little deeper on what he had been presententing to attendees: How to use data to inform good decision making.
He shares the top mistakes people are making when researching and buying rental property and sheds some light on a few positive trends he’s seeing across the industry. We also touch on the idea of tagging along with the creation of new National Parks and share a few recommended analytics tools.
It’s 2024, people! Data analytics is table stakes to running any optimized business, especially in a space like ours, where so much personalized information is collected on a daily basis.
