Amazon founder Jeff Bezos aims to shake up Hawaii's vacation sector with his investment in Arrived Homes, which offers fractional ownership in single-family rental properties.
Frontdesk co-founder and Chief Product Officer Jesse DePinto said his company has obtained 33 units from defunct property management company WanderJaunt, with "potentially hundreds more in the pipeline." He called it another opportunity for consolidation in the short-term rental market.
Apartment rental company Casai and Brazilian rental company Nomah will merge; the companies say the combined firm will be the largest short-term rental company in Latin America, with over 3,000 units in Brazil and Mexico.
AirDNA's MarketMinder data and analytics dashboard has deployed a major update for short-term rental hosts to enhance their market research and upgrade their listing performance.
