Selling a short-term rental property is not just about the structure—it’s about the business behind it.
Unlike traditional homes, these properties may include:
Documented rental income
Existing bookings
Operating permits and licenses
Furnishings and equipment
Online reviews and brand presence
Zoning and municipal restrictions
Understanding how to present these elements correctly can significantly impact value.
Buyers of vacation and short-term rental properties in Puerto Rico typically fall into three categories:
Focused on:
Cash flow
Occupancy rates
Expenses and ROI
Scalability
Interested in:
Personal use plus income
Turnkey operations
Location and amenities
Often converting rentals into long-term residences.
Each buyer type requires a different marketing and negotiation strategy.
