Successful short-term vacation rentals in Madison, Wisconsin

One of the best things about renting out your Madison home as a short-term rental is that you can be your own boss. After all, you are in control of when and how you want to run the property. You can decide when to take the summer off from work or simply turn it into an office during the week. Another benefit of short-term rentals is that you can enjoy the benefits of a vacation home without taking on all of the responsibilities. When you rent out your Madison house as a short-term rental, you can leave most of the maintenance to other people (and get some much-needed R&R). When you rent out your Madison home as a short-term rental, you can also save some money. You will typically be able to keep all of the revenue generated by renting out your property, so you will end up making money even if it’s just for a few days.

Positive vacation rental trends in Madison, Wisconsin when you considering renting out your Madison home as a short-term rental include: There is steady growth in the number of Madison vacation rentals. The city’s hotels are filled to capacity during the busy summer months, so many homeowners turn to Airbnb and VRBO to make some extra money. While this is good news for travelers looking for accommodations close to downtown Madison, it can also be bad news for homeowners who lose money by renting out their house as an Airbnb instead of staying in it themselves. When you rent out your Madison home on a short-term basis, there is no guarantee that you will be able to return after the summer. You could be forced to spend the winter months living elsewhere or find yourself stuck with high mortgage payments if Airbnb takes longer than expected to recover its costs.

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