Airbnb has changed, and if you don’t change with it, you could see your income start to dwindle. The good news? If you get ahead of the curve, you could make SUBSTANTIALLY more money from every short-term rental you own, EVEN if you’re not in a vacation destination. So, what do you need to do NOW to get more guests, bookings, and money from your short-term rental investment in 2024 and 2025? Experienced short-term rental investor and CEO of Rent to Retirement, Zach Lemaster, is here to help.

You may know Zach as the turnkey rental guy, but his skills go FAR beyond long-term rentals. Zach owns the highest-grossing short-term rental in the ever-popular Breckenridge, Colorado. This is a HOT short-term rental market with fierce competition, but even so, Zach’s vacation rental stands out from the rest. How did he do it, and what changes can YOU make to your Airbnb experience to become the best in your area?

Today, Zach gives a masterclass on Airbnb and short-term rental hosting. He covers market trends he’s seen in 2024 and into 2025, dodging regulations, and what to look at BEFORE you buy. Zach even shares easy ways to stand out and the amenities that will wow your guests so they keep coming back for more. Plus, he’ll give tips on what you can do NOW with your current Airbnb to quickly increase bookings!
