Episode notes
Luxury Rentals: High Reward, Seasonal Risk
- Luxury vacation rentals are the most expensive with high potential returns due to high nightly rates.
- They tend to be seasonal and vulnerable to recessions as they rely on disposable income for vacations.
Exotic Rentals: High Return, High Risk
- Exotic or unique rentals like treehouses and glamping have the highest return potential relative to investment cost.
- However, they are the riskiest with fewer financing options and difficulty selling in downturns.
Affordable Rentals: Safe and Stable
- Affordable, traditional rentals near city centers offer the safest investment with best financing and backup options.
- These rentals may have lower returns but can outperform during recessions and are easier to sell.
