Touring Top Short Term Rentals

On this episode we take the show on the road! Today's episode is about short term rentals at Lake Anna, Virginia. Joined by property manager Daniel Kauffman of Lake Front Luxury, we hit the round and tour three of Lake Anna's top performing short term rental properties. First, we tour a short term rental called Lake Anna Luxury, which is on track to generate an impressive $300,000 of rental income in 2024; this is a recently constructed home with 7 bedroom suites, a massive great room, an in-ground pool and a beautiful sandy beach at the water's edge. Second, we visited a short term rental called A World Away, which is on track to generate a whopping $400,000 of rental income in 2024; I represented these wonderful owners when they purchased this massive 8,000 square foot home on the public side of Lake Anna that checks just about every box. And third, we visit All Decked Out, which was recently voted "Lake Anna's Best Short Term Rental Property"! My wife and I purchased All Decked Out in 2021, and since then it has performed superbly, and many families have made happy memories together at this waterfront escape, with its big water views, a water slide, and double decker boathouse here at Lake Anna.
