Successful short-term vacation rentals in Columbia, South Dakota

When you rent out your Columbia, SC home as a short-term rental in 2018, you can expect to see all sorts of trends. First, it’s important to consider the location of your house and how close it is to public transit. For example, if you live in a quiet neighborhood where there’s no public transit nearby, you may want to consider renting out your house on a monthly basis instead of weekly. If you’re looking for guests who are coming from far away and have several days to spend in Columbia, SC, a weekly rental may be a better option. This is especially true if your home is in an area that has public transportation. With public transit in Columbia, South Carolina, you can easily get to nearby attractions and fun things to do without having to worry about driving all day.

The number of people choosing to rent rather than buy a home is on the rise. This trend has been especially pronounced in areas like Columbia, SC, where the cost of housing is high and affordability is an issue. It’s no surprise, then, that more travelers are turning to vacation rentals for a way to save money. More than half of travelers surveyed by Airbnb said that they had rented a vacation property in the past year. If you want to rent out your property for short-term stays or for large events like weddings and reunions, there are a few things you should know. First, make sure you understand the rules and regulations around short-term rentals in your area. In some places, short-term rentals are illegal. In others, they’re perfectly fine as long as they’re done right. Second, consider whether your property is right for short-term rental use. If it’s not, it could be worth investing in some renovations before considering renting it out full-time.

RedAwning takes the guess-work out of Columbia property management, and we work with you to ensure your Columbia short-term rental is set up perfectly to attract guests and maximize your rental revenue, from day-one.
