This is THE go-to manual on buying and managing profitable vacation rentals!
I was excited to get this book and after only a couple of chapters, I love it! It’s better than I expected. It is the perfect blend of a step-by-step guide to getting into vacation rentals, and real life stories and emotions that we can all relate too! Making this book an easy read and making my dream of owning vacation rentals seem more realistic than ever before! Christina VanDergrift shares real experiences with an amazing attitude that is authentic and refreshing, and a much better approach than how the “typical influencer” hypes up vacation rentals. This is THE go-to guide and I plan on using it as my blueprint as I get into vacation rentals this year!

This was the first book I have read in its entirety since probably middle school. I’m NOT a reader, but I knew right away I wanted to read this book.
I was not disappointed! It kept me sucked in the whole time. I loved how it was set up as stories of her own experiences in the first half and a wealth of information in the second.
I was interested in owning vacation rentals before I read it and now I’m even more excited about it.
Definitely lots of great info and tips!

This book made me excited to look into vacation rentals. Christina’s honesty, humor, and personal experiences confirm that the process may not be easy and there will be bumps, but with hard work and determination, one can reach their financial goals. I appreciate the lists she adds to the book for future reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing autobiography that lacks substance
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
This book does provide some amount of inspiration and encouragement, plus some basic information to readers who are not familiar with real estate. For a seasoned investor of long-term rentals, considering entry into the vacation rental market, it falls terribly short. The book reads like an autobiography, with lengthy stories about the author’s personal life, career, and property acquisitions. The majority of content is detailed descriptions of the author’s accomplishments, credentials, emotions and sometimes biased opinions. Even in the chapter “Let’s Find Yours”, the author briefly asks questions of the reader, then resumes a prolonged recap of every vacation rental purchase she made and why … three total and one of those still a questionable failure. In the “Future” chapter, the author talks primarily about the markets of interest to her. Identical lists and topics were repeated many times, unnecessarily increasing the length. Never mentioned, are topics such as target market analysis, ROI (return on investment), cash to cash return, reinvestment strategies, target debt/equity ratios, tax implications and many more subjects critical to improving net profit, net worth and investment success. The author claims that vacation rentals offer “more profit and enjoyment”, but provides little solid evidence to support that claim, especially for an investor who has no intention of self management and a propensity for financial details. Finally, the author ends the book in the last paragraph by repeating a sales pitch for the sixth time to visit her website. However, the book is a delightful story about the author.
The book "Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth" by Avery Carl provides much better information.

3.0 out of 5 stars quick read

The author is very enthusiastic and passionate about the subject. But... I was hoping for more in depth info. It was mostly about her experience. She wrote about her issues with a property management company but didnt tell you how to find one. Especially if you are in a new area. The same concerning town codes. Told her problems she s encountered but not how to find town codes. I ve asked a couple towns while looking and most send you on a chase.
It was a book that makes you think you can do it also but you ll find more useful info hunting online.
