Today we sit down with Avery Carl, CEO and Founder of The Short Term Shop.

Her journey from stumbling into short-term rental investment a little over 5 years ago to now just under 200 properties in 11 different markets in 7 states is impressive, to say the least.

We talk about the importance of understanding markets and knowing where the best place and time to buy. Avery emphasizes why she believes it’s important to focus on mature vacation rental markets versus investing in metro markets.

Everyone has questions about what to expect when investing in STR real estate. With Avery’s help, we try to uncover strategies while putting a focus on the effect on regional culture in addition to the overall investment landscape.

Her success in real estate has also led her down the path of podcast host where she’s bringing it weekly on her show The Short Term Show.
