Part 1: Is It Really a Buyers' Market?
Everyone's talking about a "buyer’s market"—but is that really what we’re seeing in short-term rental real estate right now? In this episode, Kenny Bedwell explores whether today’s environment truly favors buyers or if the opportunity is more nuanced. He breaks down current market dynamics, challenges assumptions, and reveals what it actually takes to land a great STR deal right now.
He explores why short-term rentals remain a viable long-term investment, even when buyer competition, pricing dynamics, and interest rates fluctuate. This episode provides a grounded perspective on when and why to make a move, and what “timing the market” actually looks like in real estate.
Whether you're considering your first STR or evaluating your next acquisition, this episode offers the strategic lens you need to cut through the noise.
