Short-Term Rentals in 2026: What Actually Works Today with Tony Robinson

Short-term rental investing has changed. The easy Airbnb boom of the pandemic years may be over, but that doesn't mean the opportunity is gone.

Tony Robinson, real estate investor and co-host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookie podcast, joins Kathy Fettke to explain what actually works in the short-term rental market in 2026. Tony breaks down how Airbnb investors can evaluate markets, spot oversupply, analyze potential properties, improve occupancy, and compete with newer short-term rentals.

They also discuss when it makes sense to convert a long-term rental into a short-term rental, why smaller vacation markets can sometimes outperform popular destinations, how to protect against changing Airbnb regulations, and the amenities and guest experience that can make or break a property.
