Short Term Rental Riches

327. 25 Conferences Later: My Best STR Insights


Listen Later

The short-term rental industry is shifting fast — and if you're not paying attention, you'll get left behind. In this episode, I'm breaking down the six biggest takeaways from the IMN Conference, where top operators managing hundreds of properties reveal what's really happening behind the scenes. From venture capital moves to AI breakthroughs, here's what you need to know before 2026.

5 Key Takeaways:

  • Venture capital is quietly buying 100–200 unit property managers and reshaping the industry.
  • Luxury rentals are outperforming commodity listings as investors chase higher returns.
  • 80% of guest experience depends on processes — and poor systems lead to bad reviews.
  • AI is transforming guest communication and operations — but no single tool does it all.
  • Design matters more than ever: invest in your top 5 photos, prioritize comfort, and create visual impact.

The STR market is evolving quickly — and the operators who adapt will win. Whether it's refining your processes, leveraging AI, or repositioning toward luxury, now is the time to level up. If you found value in this episode, subscribe, share it with another operator, and keep building smarter.
