    Data Privacy Challenges In Real Estate Could Create Upheaval

    Data privacy is an ever-increasing concern, particularly in finance, where sensitive information like personal and business bank statements, loans, credit information, driver’s licenses, and Social Security numbers are involved. Because of this, real estate is particularly vulnerable. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI), which allows more data to be transferred through apps and social media, further increases the need for robust laws and cybersecurity.

    What Kind of Insurance Do You Need for Short-Term Rentals?

    You have finally decided to enter the short-term rental (STR) market, and your biggest concern is a call from the local fire department stating that your house is ablaze or that your guest is suing you for a twisted ankle during their stay. Luckily, if you prepare with the proper insurance and care for your property, these types of situations can be managed. Listing your property on Airbnb can bring in extra income—and extra headaches if you are not covered properly. Don’t rely on your regular homeowner’s insurance since it won’t cover the unique risks involved. Before renting, review your policy and look into add-ons or endorsements.  In this article presented by Baselane, we’ll discuss the details of Airbnb’s limited insurance coverage and guide you through essential considerations like vandalism, theft, unpaid rentals, and guest injuries. We’ll also highlight the best insurance options tailored to Airbnb hosts so you can protect yourself from costly surprises and potential losses.

    How to Calculate Rent On Any Property

    Knowing how to price your rental property has been an issue since the dawn of time (or whenever the first rental was). Before the internet and modern technology, investors were driving around hoping to see a “for rent” sign and writing down (on paper) how much each place was going for.  Fast-forward to today, and calculating how much to set the rent for your property has changed dramatically. Let’s jump into how to correctly price your rental in today’s world from our friends at Baselane.  Keep reading the article here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/how-to-calculate-rent-for-any-property Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Channel for the best real estate investing education online!

    The Extra Downside Protection I Look For in Investments

    The last two years have felt like a slow-motion car crash in commercial real estate.  That goes for office space, of course, but it also goes for multifamily and other commercial property classes. Look no further than this piece by BiggerPockets if you need a refresher. Two regional banks went under because of the industry’s woes in 2023.  But even in one of the worst stretches for commercial real estate on record, many operators and passive investors have continued earning solid returns. Since 2022, I’ve invested in nearly 30 passive real estate deals as one more member of SparkRental’s Co-Investing Club. Of those, only one has imploded and resulted in a loss—and it was one of the first deals we invested in as a club.  One advantage to getting together with a group of other passive investors every month to vet deals is that you get better at doing it and quickly. This year, I’ve shifted how I think about risk.  As you continue (or start) investing passively in real estate, consider this framework for looking at risk.

    Is Investing in Hotels a Better Move Than Scaling Short-Term Rentals?

    Pre-pandemic, short-term rentals (STRs) seemed to answer burned-out landlords’ prayers. Guests paid their money upfront, eliminating the need to evict, and homeowners could use their personal residences to earn extra income should they wish to travel or rent out individual rooms.  The hotel industry quaked and pressured cities to introduce restrictions. However, STR fever was rampant. Soon, entire apartment buildings were dedicated to the vacation rental phenomenon. Everyone with a granny flat, RV, and spare room seemed to be competing for STR dollars. Would it last? Were hotels over? Inevitably, some markets became saturated, and the narrative about short-term rentals changed amongst investors. Post-pandemic, the number of vacation homes in the U.S. increased by 23.3% from October 2021-2022. That spring, at the height of the STR booking season, 80,000-88,000 new short-term rentals were added to the market monthly. Bookings dropped, and landlords fretted. Hoteliers breathed a sigh of relief.  After a shaky couple of years due in part to the economic downturn, the short-term rental business is expected to grow at a stable pace. Equally, the hotel business in the U.S. is predicted to exhibit an annual growth of 3.8% (CAGR 2024-2029), with a projected market volume of $133.3 billion by 2029.  Keep reading the article here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/is-investing-in-hotels-a-better-move-than-scaling-short-term-rentals Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Channel for the best real estate investing education online!
