This week’s roundup covers AirDNA’s breakdown of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Airbnb.org’s latest emergency housing efforts, and two short-term rental regulation stories from Florida and Nevada. Let’s dive in.
This week, we are excited to feature Glen and Lisa Oostema, owners of Oostema Farmstead and OwnerRez users for nearly seven years. Beginning with one Airbnb on their family farm in 2015, they have grown their business into several vacation rentals, an RV campground, and an on-farm store, allowing them to share their family farm with guests from all over the world.
In Episode Eighteen, Paul and Chris discuss the philosophy that has shaped OwnerRez from the beginning: building what matters. They compare their approach to Ferrari’s mentality of building everything in-house, discuss when it makes sense to build versus buy, and explain why owning and having full control over the product experience has helped OwnerRez stay nimble over the years.
This week, we are excited to feature Priscila Acerbi and Daniela Botero, founders of LuxeHaus Stays. Built on the belief that owners get better results from hosts who run their own rentals and know the local market, they have created a successful vacation rental management company serving Palm Beach County and Florida’s Treasure Coast.
This week’s roundup covers two major short-term rental regulation stories from Wisconsin and South Carolina, Airbnb’s latest effort to crack down on illegal listings in the UK, and PriceLabs’ 2026 Global Host Report. Let’s dive in.
