I’ve been investing for over 12
years and have not been particularly biased to any one type of real
estate to invest in. I started my career as a commercial real
estate broker working exclusively with investors and different real
estate investment options. The small team I worked with completed
over 2 billion (with a B) in real estate transactions including
everything from shopping centers, to warehouses, to apartment
buildings.
There are many, many different niches of real
estate niches to invest in and within each “sector” of real estate
lies even more sub-niches. Short-term rentals are just one
sub-niche of the residential housing sector.
You may say… hey Tim… short-term
rentals are part of the hospitality sector! And you would be right
if you were referring to just STRs used for vacations! But the fact
is, people are living in short-term rentals now and they have
become a mid-term option for many people.
So
which type of real estate is the best to invest in? Short answer;
it depends. It depends on your risk profile and your experience.
It’s also helpful to be able to compare and contrast the various
options.
So this week we’re going to make things simple
and break down the risks and opportunities of just one of these
niches (and my favorite as our listeners already know) and talk
about investing in short-term rentals. This week we will have a
rapid-fire list of the risks and opportunities as I see them with
short-term rentals. Let’s discuss:
