Why not capitalize on that growing demand forAirbnb and Vrbo rentals while building your own financial future?

Tips for Getting Started with Short-Term Rental Investments

1. Find the Perfect Property

Unless you already own your ideal investment property, this is your first step—and we’d love to help you find it! Remember the golden rule of real estate:location, location, location.

Look for properties near attractions that draw visitors to the Mount Magazine and Paris AR area—like hiking trails, the downtown square, and local events. Then, evaluate your total investment cost and projected return on investment (ROI)to make sure your property performs financially.


2. Plan for Renovations

Once you’ve found the right home or cabin, you may need to make updates to meet guest and safety standards—like smoke detectors, handrails, adequate lighting, and accessible parking.

Our agents can connect you with trusted local vendors, electricians, and contractors who can help with your updates. The bonus? These improvements often increase your property’s resale value too!


3. Furnish and Style for Success

To earn those 5-star reviews, you want guests to feel right at home. From comfortable beds to cozy décor, your space should feel like a “home away from home.”

Our team can help you choose furnishings, décor, and design touches that make your property stand out to travelers browsing Airbnb and Vrbo listings.


4. Secure Insurance & Permits

Owning a short-term rental means becoming a small-business owner. Make sure you have the proper licenses, permits, and insurance in place.

Short-term rental insurance is different from a standard homeowner’s policy because it covers both your property and your business liability. We can connect you with local insurance providers experienced in short-term rental coverage.


5. Market Your Property

Once everything’s in place, it’s time to share your new venture with the world! Invest in professional real-estate photography, develop a strong brand identity, and write an engaging listing description that highlights what makes your property special.

Consistent marketing—on Airbnb, Vrbo, and social media—helps you stand out as the go-to stay in the Mount Magazine region.
