Whether you’re buying a ski-in/ski-out condo at your favorite resort or you’re thinking of picking up a small home in a busy tourist area, buying a property for short-term rental purposes can be an excellent investment that quickly begins to provide additional revenue. Let’s take a quick look at a few steps that you can take to maximize the revenue that your investment properties bring in each month.

Upgrade Your Home to Give It a Luxurious Feel

It should go without saying that if you want your home to rent for a high price it has to have a significant amount of value behind it. After you purchase the home, spend some time on upgrades that help to enhance the home’s beauty and usability. If possible each sofa should be a sofa-bed so that additional guests can stay the night. Upgrade the televisions, have Wi-Fi internet access available and provide a phone number that guests can call if anything goes awry.

Professional Photos and Copywriting

If you’re renting your property out to short-term or vacationing tenants you’re most likely going to use online services like VRBO, HomeAway or AirBnB to attract new business. While these sites have a lot of visitor traffic you’re also going to face a high level of competition from other property owners in the area. It’s worth paying a professional photographer to take pictures of your home as well as having a professional copywriter handle the sales copy for your listing. These are one-time costs that can help you to defeat your competition and close high-ticket clients.

Cater to Large Groups or a Niche Crowd

There are a number of “niche” travelers out there and if you can cater to these groups you’ll find that you’re able to charge more than the average vacation property. For example, you may be buying a home in a popular wedding destination that can be marketed to couples who are being married. If you’re buying a larger 3 or 4 bedroom home, be sure to note that it can house large groups who may be traveling together.

Referrals and Repeat Business

Finally, don’t forget to ask your clients to refer you to their friends and family who many want to stay in your unit, and always invite them to return in the future. You may want to consider offering a discount to repeat visitors to encourage them to visit annually.

Renting out your vacation home or investment property can provide a lucrative income stream as long as you have a professional approach and focus on providing a high level of customer service.

    We had made a move out west from North Carolina for business reasons, and we did not have time to finish some upgrades such as new carpet, fixing a small area of mold in one of the bathrooms, and some painting.  We had selected an investor in NC who advertised quick closings, all cash for as-is homes.  They backed out of the deal at the last minute, and we had a home under construction in Utah.


    We called We Buy Homes for Cash, and they were wonderful.  Blake, Mason and Bryan made the whole process smooth and stress free.  We were able to close in about two weeks.

    We are about to close on our new home in Utah.  This would not have been possible without their professional and personable service.  I highly recommend We Buy Homes for Cash.

    I had been wanting to sell my house for several months but every realtor I talked to needed me to clean up my house and I have 30 years worth of stuff here.  I was not able to get rid of my stuff or pack it all away.  My home also needed some repairs like the roof and some plumbing stuff.  I called We Buy Homes Cash and the experience was amazing.  They gave me $2,000 up front so I could buy the moving supplies I needed to pack.  Then they let me stay in the house for 2 weeks after they closed.  This was so helpful.  Thank you so much Tyson and all the others that helped me make my move to Ohio possible.

    If you're looking to sell your home, I can't think of a more reputable and fair team to work with.  Tyson and his team went above and beyond to make sure they understood the process of working with a cash buyer went.  The process was very smooth and painless and I am sincerely thankful for their services.
