Is a short-term rental better than a long-term rental in Victoria? Adrian talks with Kristopher Montanini and Robert Sauter, co-founders of Rest Coast, about what it really looks like to own and operate a short-term rental on the West Coast.

Kris has been a landlord for 20 years. Rob spent 20+ years in tech and now applies his customer-service and photography background to Rest Coast owners.

In this episode:

  • Is long-term renting still worth it after 20 years as a landlord?
  • Do short-term rentals really cause less wear and tear?
  • What kind of property makes the best short-term rental?
  • Can STR income projections change a buyer's decision, and how can Realtors use them?
  • What separates a 5-star Airbnb from an average one?
  • How do listing photos affect bookings?
  • How does a turnover portal and documentation system protect owners?
  • Who is a great fit for short-term rentals, and who should skip it?
  • How should investors think about BC and Victoria regulations?
  • Where is the short-term rental market heading?
  • What's the first step, and the biggest mistake, for new investors?

Plus a rapid fire round to close things out.
