Creating The 4 Hour Work Week with Virtual Assistants
Michael is the host of the Short Term Rental Secrets Podcast and founder of the Short Term Rental Secrets Mastermind, a mentorship and mastermind program that helps investors launch, automate and scale their short-term rental portfolios. Michael and his wife Krysten founded Occupied, a national short-term rental investment and management company in 2017, as a vehicle to build passive income so they could stop trading away time from family for a paycheck. That vision came to fruition within 18 months when their short-term rental portfolio replaced their income and Krysten and Michael both left their corporate jobs. They are based out of Boston, MA, and currently have a portfolio of 100 short-term rental units across five states including 3 boutique hotels on Boston’s north shore.https://strwealthconference.com/https://www.strsecrets.com/bloghttps://www.instagram.com/the_airbnbguy/?hl=en

AirDNA's Mid-Year STR Outlook with Demi Horvat
Jamie Lane sits down with Demi Horvat, CEO of AirDNA, this week to talk about the mid-year short term rental outlook report in the US. We seen another month of strong demand which was up 11.9% which was slightly up from last month, although we did see a dip in supply grown which is down to about 15%. We've also now seen 15 consecutive months of declining occupancy but those are off the record highs of 2023. Inflation has become an issue in the economy which has caused the FED to raise interest rates which has now created a slow down in investments into short term rentals. With the mixed bag of news around the industry demand remains strong.~~~~Skift Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5tdJeSuafU&list=PL0x2YrE2GNe7TBJ9QuNvg37jXNG6NA64O&index=10AirDNA Mid-Year Outlook:https://www.airdna.co/2023-us-mid-year-short-term-rental-outlook-report~~~~Signup for MarketMinder for FREE👇https://www.airdna.co/vacation-rental-data/app/register ~~~~Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn and Twitter: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiehlane/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jamie_Lane ~~~~Connect with Mariah on LinkedIn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariah-ka... ~~~~Connect with AirDNA on LinkedIn, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/airdna/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/airdna TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@airdna.co Instagram: https://instagram.com/airdna.co ~~~~Find AirDNA at these upcoming events! https://www.airdna.co/events-airdna Episode 36

Where should I invest in vacation rentals?
“Where to invest?” is a common question we hear from investors—and for good reason. But when and why should I invest are just as important. Because markets and traveler trends are always changing, which can lead to lots of inaccurate guesswork.Our latest report explores where people are actually buying or thinking of buying a short-term rental. The report complements our Best Places to Invest Report [link https://www.airdna.co/blog/best-places-to-invest-in-us-vacation-rentals-2023] which focused more on places that were the most profitable destinations for investment. This new report uses data from AirDNA’s Rentalizer tool [link to https://www.airdna.co/airbnb-calculator] which calculates the revenue potential of any property in any market. Similar to other real estate estimates it relies on comparable STR listings to make estimates on any property in the world. Jamie Lane shared insights into the methodology and how customers can ensure the get the most accurate estimate possible. Rentalizer searchers are a good indicator of which markets and destinations are the most popular for STR investment. AirDNA relies on first-party data, along with partner and sourced data, to power its intelligence platform and custom reports. First-party data is data collected by a company from its own customers, while third-party data is data collected by external parties.Discrepancies in Rentalizer results can be caused when the comparable property set has high covariance. Covariance measures how two variables change together. A high covariance means that two variables tend to increase or decrease together, while a low covariance means that they tend to vary independently.AirDNA recently released a new Ranked Series where we explore the topic of where to invest from multiple angles.

Extended Ski Season, Summer Bookings, and More!
Jamie Lane sits down with Mariah Kamei this week to talk about US and Europe STR trends for March. March proved to be another month of demand gains with nights booked up 12% YOY and overall nights stayed up 16% YOY, fueled by a strong spring break. Supply increased 20% YOY, a significant slow down from 26% last month with the downward trend expected to continue. Occupancy this summer is expected to be the third highest on record behind 2021 and 2022. With the major supply increases the industry has seen in the past year, STR owners should continue to expect slowing ADR and profit growth. Record snowfall in the US has extended the ski season for many western ski areas through the end of April. Europe continues to see stronger demand growth than the US as travel continues to rebound from the pandemic.~~~~Read the March Market Reviews: US: https://www.airdna.co/blog/airdna-market-review-us-march-2023 Europe: https://www.airdna.co/blog/airdna-market-review-europe-march-2023 ~~~~Signup for MarketMinder for FREE👇https://www.airdna.co/vacation-rental-data/app/register ~~~~Connect with Jamie on LinkedIn and Twitter: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiehlane/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jamie_Lane ~~~~Connect with Mariah on LinkedIn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariah-ka... ~~~~Connect with AirDNA on LinkedIn, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/airdna/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/airdna TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@airdna.co Instagram: https://instagram.com/airdna.co ~~~~Find AirDNA at these upcoming events! https://www.airdna.co/events-airdna Episode 29

He is the founder of Hildehomes.John also shared his journey to advocacy through working with Rent Responsibly.
