Short Term Rental University

Short Term Rental University The #1 educational platform for building, growing, and maximizing a short term rental business. Like this page to learn all of Richard's best strategies.

Founded by Richard Fertig, an Airbnb Superhost, entrepreneur, and former Wall Steet Hedgefunder. Hey there I'm Richard. I'm a father, entrepreneur and former Wall Street Hedgefunder. I've owned a small portfolio of real estate investments since 1998 and traditionally I generated rental income through long-term rentals. About 4 years ago a buddy of mine mentioned Airbnb hosting for short term renta

ls. It sounded crazy at first, but I was willing to give it a shot. Happy to say in 2016 I generated over $500,000 in rental income which is 2-3 times what I would've generated long-term. Now I want to share what I've learned over the last 4 years to help you get started on Airbnb and Homeawy and / or take your business to the next level. My mission is to build a community of people who embrace the short term rental idea and share their own thoughts and learnings. I've learned plenty the hard way, and I don't know everything, but if we build a community we will all crush it in this space.

Pamlico Station is Featured in the Observer!

Article: Jonathan Adler's Latest Hotel Design Is Inspired by the Outer Banks' Landscape

Details: With renderings shared throughout the story, Kristine details the design behind Edgecamp Pamlico Station and Jonathan's inspiration behind modern American glamour and 1950s-60s French/Italian Riviera style. Kristine also calls out the Wellness Center, the Edgecamp Sporting Club membership set to debut next year as well as room pricing and the hotel's offered concierge services.

LFG!!! 🔥🚀

“The first time I visited Pamlico Station, I was in awe of how expansive the landscape is,” the designer tells Observer.

MEANINGFUL TRAVEL!

“Airbnb today released a new report and highlighted how 2021 will see a shift toward more meaningful travel as the pandemic continues to limit mass tourism and afflict the industry overall. When travel returns in 2021, it will be about connecting with loved ones through more personal trips, with mass tourism unlikely to return at any scale this year. In the report*, US consumers say their near-term travel priority is to spend time with family and friends in comfortable, familiar and secure settings. Reconnecting and traveling safely are leading reasons for wanting to get a vaccine.”

Wow! This airbnb journey just keeps on giving. Yours truly featured in the article as is Short Term Rental University.

What started as one airbnb rental, and then experimenting with YouTube has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of followers. And also launched all my boutique hotels and most recently, Edgecamp Sporting Club.

Freaking awesome!

Do you agree with my quotes? Experience > luxury?

Never would have predicated COVID. However, I have been teaching consistently about the exceptional investment opportunities for single family homes in vacation destinations... the markets are on 🔥🔥🔥 with no foreseeable slow down. If anything, inventory is even lower snd all the natural sellers have moved on.

We covered specific locations during Nashville LIVE and Miami LIVE with participants that acted back then already seeing enormous (paper) gains.

Hell yeah! Construction of the sea wall has started for the two (2) new Soundfront 7 bedroom homes ready for summer 2021.

And... just to mix it up a bit (and offer our members and guests variety), we’ve now cleared our Oceanfront lot and this spectacular 5 bedroom oceanfront home will be available this summer too.

In addition, we are expanding our existing Edgecamp Sporting Club home and including a great pool, three hot tubs, and an event pavilion plus room for a party tent on the lawn for up to 200 guests.

We’re literally just getting started and the best is yet to come!

💯. Seems perfectly aligned - on the very same day that Pfizer announces its covid vaccine (thereby potentially / hopefully ending this crisis), I’ve closed on my final real estate transaction / total overhaul...

You see, nearly 6 months ago, I filmed a video on my YouTube channel, The Gift of Quarantine - basically forcing oneself to stop and think, plan, dream and put into action one’s NEW reality. So, I 100% revamped my single family home short term rental portfolio taking things to a larger, more meaningful scale.

I sold ALL legacy positions and reinvested in a brand new portfolio that positions me for my forward view of the world both from a risk and reward perspective. I’ve encouraged followers to do similar if they felt they had superior opportunities and led by example.

I took my own video to heart and was very busy and productive during the covid pandemic. I’ve successfully exited 100% of my legacy real estate positions (with the exception of my primary residence in Jackson, I still own that but turned down an extremely attractive bid electing instead to keep this one legacy asset. And, I kept my Nosara, CR boutique hotel as I really closed on this just prior to covid and it’s perfectly aligned with my forward view- in fact, it’s critically important).

So here’s what I accomplished / overhauled in 2020 during covid:

Sell:
- sell NYC brownstone
- sell Hamptons home
- sell Alabama STR
- sell two (2) investment properties in Jackson

BUY:
- buy boutique hotel in Palm Springs, CA (plus total infrastructure overhaul: new roof, solar, HVAC plus additional rooms and decor)

- buy boutique hotel in Palm Beach, FL (plus renovation of rooms, kitchen, etc)

- buy long term rental, landmarked home in Palm Beach, FL

- buy tear down canal front Palm Beach, FL

- buy more (all remaining) land in OBX (outer banks)

- under contract for landmark full renovation in Crested Butte, CO starting 2021

- finished construction, opened, host guests and full corporate buyouts at Edgecamp Sporting Club

- also fitting, today we broke ground on first of three new single family Edgecamp villas coming next summer! You ready to book one of these gorgeous oceanfront or soundfront 5-7 bedroom homes?

Awesome work by Team Edgecamp Sporting Club to get our VIP guest experience 1) on film for their enjoyment and 2) edited and released to our guests with 24 hours of their departure.

Check out what the Young Presidents’ (YPO) did at ESC this past week... (this is not a marketing video as much as a documentary souvenir).

Thanks for visiting and we look forward to seeing you in April. And thanks to the countless individuals who made this dream a reality with exceptional hospitality.
