    Hey guys welcome back to another episode of The Vacation Rental Revolution Podcast. This episode is my conversation with Avery Carl from The Short-Term Shop. Avery is an OG when it comes to the short-term rental game and she has the numbers and skill to back her claims. In my conversation with her, we discussed:

    * What you should be looking for when adding a property to your portfolio.

    * What kind of effort is required on your end to succeed at the top of the market.

    * Why a small portfolio of short-term rentals can give you the lifestyle and financial freedom you need to start living that life you don’t want to take a vacation from.

  • - Ever wondered what to look for to find a property that could become the #1 in its market?

    - Do you want to learn how to avoid the #1 most costly vacation homeowner mistake by ensuring you run numbers correctly and accurately?

    - Have you considered offering beverages, ATVs, boats, golf carts, or other “more fun / higher liability” amenities and wondered how to do it correctly?

    Recorded live from our new studio at Vodyssey HQ, on this week’s Whiskey Wednesday, Dave & Shawn explore:

    * Analyzing a Vodyssey member partner project property in Kentucky, a Historic Firehouse on the Bourbon trail - learn how Shawn looks for unique clues to properties that may be able to “hit the high water mark”, becoming a top property in their area.

    * Avoiding the #1 most damaging mistake vacation homeowners make - inadequate property analysis - and how to make sure you’re looking at an accurate revenue range across the annual seasonal landscape vs. painting too broadly with only an average nightly rate, etc.

    * Important considerations for how to say yes to higher-end amenities by understanding and managing the liability risk instead of just saying no.
