**Why investors love short-term rentals **Discover what makes short-term rentals so attractive compared to traditional long-term rentals, including higher income potential, flexibility, and unique tax advantages.

**Why many investors fail—and how to win **Learn the most common mistakes investors make when entering the short-term rental market, from poor market selection to underestimating operational complexity—and how to avoid them.

**How to evaluate a short-term rental deal **Keaton will walk through the key metrics, data points, and tools used to analyze deals, helping you determine whether a property is truly worth pursuing.

**Why short-term rentals aren’t actually passive **Understand the reality behind the “passive income” label and what it really takes to operate a successful short-term rental—from guest communication to property management.

**What passive investing really means **Explore how investors can still benefit from short-term rental opportunities without being involved in daily operations, and how platforms like Honeyshares are creating more accessible, hands-off investment options.
