Luke Carl walks through the Shenandoah Valley short-term rental market with Short Term Shop agent Marion, breaking down why the region is so attractive for investors thanks to its accessibility, affordability, and strong year-round demand from resorts, national parks, and outdoor tourism. They compare resort vs. non-resort investing, discuss realistic revenue and occupancy expectations, and review multiple live listings ranging from entry-level A-frames to high-revenue luxury cabins. The conversation also digs into current buyer leverage, pricing corrections, and why now may be an especially strong window for disciplined investors willing to negotiate.
