The short-term rental business is looking younger these days, as more people under 30 buy up vacation properties
More home buyers under the age of 30 are getting into the short-term rental game to supplement their incomes and help with the mortgageSarah Natsumi Moore for The Wall Street JournalEvery summer when Trevor Plencner, 24, was growing up, his family would take a trip to New Buffalo, Mich., where they’d rent a house on. Year after year, Mr. Plencner became increasingly intrigued by the notion of owning a vacation rental property himself—so much so that he decided to give it a whirl.
In February 2018, when he was 20, Mr. Plencner purchased a vacation rental in Lake Geneva, Wis., about an hour northwest from where he lives in Hoffman Estates, Ill. While there are multimillion-dollar houses on Geneva Lake, through persistence and good timing, Mr. Plencner bought a 1,200-square-foot cottage a few blocks off the water for $111,000. He put 3.5% down using a Federal Housing Administration loan.
Vacation rentals are his side gig—Mr. Plencner works full time at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. His goal is to work solely in real estate, with properties throughout Wisconsin. “Vacation rentals is the best business anyone can get into, especially young,” he says. Many of Mr. Plencner’s peers agree: Vacation-rental ownership among young adults is on the rise. According to Denver-based vacation-rental management and hospitality company Evolve, the proportion of its homeowners under 30 grew by 100% between June 2019 and June 2021. In comparison, the proportion of its clients between 31 to 56 grew only 17% during that period and the proportion of homeowners between 57 to 75 dropped 11%.
