How to Find Airbnb Deals That Net $50K–$100K Every Year

·18 min·1 clip

Kenny says a great Airbnb market is driven, regulated, and built for the right ROI, not just proximity.

1. The Host Coach Show episode on how to find Airbnb deals that net $50,000 to $100,000 a year centers on Kenny Bedwell and STR Insights, with Danielle Tate and Kellen Tate framing the show around Airbnb investing and financial freedom. 2. Kenny Bedwell, who says he has helped over 400 investors and now owns six properties plus a hotel in New Orleans, explains why market selection and underwriting matter before making an offer. 3. His core thesis is that profitable short-term rentals start with budget fit, a clearly defined ROI, and personal preferences like regulation risk, proximity, and natural-disaster concerns. 4. He says he looks first at markets he can afford, then at the exact ROI target, because “50 to 100k is a pretty big difference,” and that narrows where to search. 5. He gives a real example of a client from Southern California who ended up buying in Duluth, North Carolina, and says success depends on a local team because owners are not doing the cleaning or maintenance themselves. 6. Kenny says the market data shows a roughly 10% year-over-year dip in short-term rentals, while high-end markets like Nashville, Miami, and Orlando have been hit harder than drive-in markets. 7. He says the strongest 2026 markets will be drivable, affordable, regulated well, and still supported by enough tourism or other traffic drivers. 8. On the property side, he says the key concept is a “moat,” which can come from unique location, property type, design, amenities, or views that competitors cannot easily copy. 9. He warns listeners to avoid communities where “all the properties are exactly the same,” and says averaging data is not enough because he underwrites by property type, region, and scenarios from “worst case to best case.” 10. Investors who want market screens, underwriting help, and tax write-off context around short-term rentals will get the most value from this episode.
