Short-term rental investments (with Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.) have grown in popularity in recent years. Not only can this strategy be used in the investor's hometown, but it can be utilized out-of-state in hot vacation markets to diversify an investment portfolio and generate the most profit. Even more relevant, the recent crash in the short-term rental market during the COVID-19 pandemic left many wondering how to best approach these properties with a recession-proof strategy.

Author Avery Carl answers all of these questions and more in her newest book, Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth. Though many Airbnb-type guides exist in stores, none have gained the traction that we hope to find with this high-quality, comprehensive guide to short-term rentals.
