If you’re looking for a great vacation rental you might want to check out this new report Best Places to Invest in Vacation Rentals that provides a playbook for the most profitable investments within a thriving industry which generated an estimated $113 billion in annual revenues in 2021. This marked the best year on record for global short-term rental performance, up 5.3% since 2019.
“Investors need a clear framework for finding a great opportunity, and that’s what this report provides, whether the key to success is a particular neighborhood, bedroom count, or a stand-out amenity,” said Jamie Lane, AirDNA vice president of research in a news release. “Staying informed on trends as the travel industry begins to normalize will allow investors to make the right decisions and optimize their revenues, in 2022 and beyond.”
Using the most extensive and granular dataset in the industry to consider 265 markets in the United States, AirDNA’s report ranks the top 25 based on its proprietary AirDNA Investor Score to unveil high-performing, growing markets that provide exceptional returns.
