The Short Term Show

Bobby Birch’s $98K First Year in a “Saturated” Market

06 Aug 2025

Description

On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Bobby Birch, a new investor who’s crushing it with his very first short-term rental in the Smoky Mountains. Bobby shares how he and his wife bought a one-bedroom cabin in late 2023—at the peak of interest rates—and still grossed $98K in their first ten and a half months. He breaks down how thoughtful amenities, great hospitality, and proactive guest service helped them earn 127 five-star reviews. Bobby also dives into how they used a 5/1 ARM refinance to slash their mortgage payment and offers advice for staying hands-on and scaling the right way.   How to connect with Avery: The Short Term Shop - https://theshorttermshop.com/ www.strquestions.com Follow Avery Carl on Instagram Follow Avery Carl on TikTok Join the Short Term Shop Facebook group Check out the Short Term Shop on YouTube   For more information on how to get into short term rentals, read Avery’s books: Smarter Short Term Rentals - Buy it on Amazon Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth: Your Guide to Analyzing, Buying, and Managing Vacation Properties – Buy it on Amazon
