This is a YouTube interview (host Tim Hubbard) with guest Robert Helms about short-term rentals (STRs). Early remarks argue most STRs are poorly managed, leading many not to profit; the conversation emphasizes money/operations as decisive, and that well-managed STRs can yield substantially higher income without proportional expense increases.

Chapters

The majority of short term rentals are not managed very well at all, which is why the majority of short term rentals don't make the owner any. Money management is where the rubber meets the road. It is an absolute pleasure to have our guest on today. He runs one of the industry's largest real estate shows. Robert Helms, welcome the show. There were short term rentals back then, but we didn't call them that. There is so much opportunity still in that space. It's a great reason to consider short term rentals because the same property can yield a lot more income. The expenses don't creep up as much as the income does when you manage it well.
