Owning a short-term rental abroad is gaining traction as investors seek higher returns. According to AirDNA chief economist Jamie Lane, more Americans are buying properties overseas as rising U.S. home values have made domestic cash flow harder to find.
"Iβm seeing more Americans look into investing in short-term rentals," says Lane. "Weβve seen more people think about it as U.S. home values soared in the pandemic and afterwards. Since itβs tough to find cash flow, investors have been more open to investing outside the United States."
