The Short-Term Rental Riches Podcast · with Tim Hubbard

Hi, I'm Tim. Let me show you short-term rentals from someone who actually runs them.

I've hosted 100,000+ guests across three continents and I share exactly what's working right now — no fluff, no 2019 playbook. The easy money is gone, but for operators who truly know how to run a property and buy the right deal, there's never been more opportunity. And when you're ready, my team can run it all for you.

The 2026 Reality

The market changed. Most advice didn't.

Five years ago you could list almost anything and win. Not anymore. Here's what's actually true in short-term rentals right now — and why it's good news if you're serious.

01

More supply than ever

Inventory has exploded in nearly every market. Being "on Airbnb" isn't a strategy — plenty of listings now sit half-empty while the top operators stay booked.

02

Guests expect more than ever

Reviews, response time, design, and amenities set the bar higher every year. Reputation is revenue, and one weak stay follows your listing for months.

03

Still a massive opportunity

As amateurs get washed out, the gap between a well-run property and an average one has never been wider — and that gap is exactly where the returns live.

"The winners in 2026 aren't the people who got in early. They're the ones who actually know how to operate — and how to buy the right deal."

The track record behind the advice

Not theory. An operating résumé.

The short version

From a Sacramento 4-plex to STRs on three continents.

Tim didn't read about this in a course. He built it — one property, one hard lesson, one country at a time.

2010

Bought a first property — a 4-plex in Sacramento — living in one unit while the other three covered rent.

2013

Worked as a commercial real estate investment broker. Learned to analyze deals, run comps and read cycles across $2B in transactions.

2015

Converted a long-term rental into a short-term rental and saw 4–8× the returns. Went all in.

2017

Bought an 8-unit building in Tennessee, hired a first team member, and went fully remote — living abroad while the properties ran.

2021

Launched Short Term Rental Riches to teach operators what actually works. 348 episodes and counting.

2024

His in-house management team became Corzly — now running properties across dozens of cities and countries.

2026

Breaking ground on a ground-up STR community development in Colombia.
