The short-term rental market seems to get bigger and bigger every day. This should come as no surprise, seeing that short-term rentals not only work for vacationers, traveling business people, or anyone else who wants a nice, unique place to stay. But, while the rest of the world is focusing on which mountainside chateau they’re booking for their weekend getaway, real estate investors worldwide are figuring out how they can buy, rehab, furnish, and profit from these vacation rental ventures.
With so much competition in the market, it begs the question: is the short-term rental space becoming oversaturated?
