Vacation Rentals and Short-Term Rentals

About this course

Vacation rentals and short term rentals let property owners earn more than traditional leases by renting homes by the night on platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo. This course compares the short term model with long term renting so you can choose the strategy that fits your market and your lifestyle. You will learn how to select a property, how to budget for furniture and setup, and how to calculate realistic revenue and expenses. The second module covers dynamic pricing, booking platforms, guest communication, cleaning systems, and the local regulations that can make or break a short term rental business. By the end you will have a complete operating plan for launching a vacation rental with confidence.
