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.

    When we got married we thought we would keep my old house and rent it out. Seemed like a good idea at the time-a little extra money coming in and the house would eventually get paid off… Wrong! The tenants messed the place up, called for us to make repairs all the time (things that we know they broke), were late on rent, skipped out on the lease, we’d have to clean it up and wait for someone new to rent it to (while making the mortgage payments)-we were sick of it! Luckily Steve and Kim from CashOfferOnHouse.co provide a great service. We didn’t have time to take care of cleaning it up to sell and finding a realtor that does what they say they will do (we have had issues with realtors not performing in the past-but that’s another story), but Steve and Kim had no problem taking it in what was its current condition. They gave us a fair cash offer and closed really fast. All-in-all they really got us out a situation we were tired of dealing with. Can’t recommend them enough!

    My situation is a little embarrassing to admit, but Steve and Kim from CashOfferOnHouse.co really helped me out of a rough spot, so I wanted to return the favor and give them a good review. I had a hard time that I went through-I lost my job and couldn’t keep up with my bills. I found myself in a place I never thought I would be-facing foreclosure. I was at a loss on what to do. I tried to sell before the bank started to foreclose and take it but it wouldn’t sell because it needed a few repairs that I didn’t have the money to make. No buyers were interested… I couldn’t pay the mortgage so the bank was threatening to take it. I knew I didn’t want a foreclosure on my record-I would never be able to buy a house again! I was up late at night searching the web for a solution and found their website. They were so helpful and understanding of my situation. I thank God they were there to save from financial ruin. They were able to get me out from under my problem, closed fast and made it so easy. The burden was lifted and now I am getting my life back on track-thank you so much!

    When my ex and I split, we had to settle up on the house. We both wanted a clean split and didn’t want the long term problem of marketing a house for sale and neither of us could afford to buy each other out. There would just be too many decisions to make together and we wanted to start fresh and not be bogged down by the past. Thoughts of dealing with him to decide on sale price, do we make repairs or not-who pays, do we accept the buyer’s offer price, etc, etc??? So I was lucky enough to come across Steve and Kim from CashOfferOnHouse.co—boy what a relief it was! They handled everything and made it a worry free transaction! I didn’t have to deal with my ex at all! Steve and Kim did all the communicating and were very professional and courteous to work with. I don’t ever plan to be in this position again, but I would definitely use them if I need to sell a house quickly!!
