In 2021 I got into real estate, opening my first short-term rental, Kin House in the Catskills / Hudson Valley area. Check availability and make your booking here: getawayupstate.com
We were proud that it only took 3 months from close to open, launching in November.
Now we're getting into the second phase of our journey - bookings, marketing, and operating.
I've digested what seems like weeks worth of resources about short term rentals and want to share my favorite - because it can get quite overwhelming.
After a certain point, you just have to take action - so don't mistake digesting resources for taking action.
