Murat's Short Term Rental Playbook (Free Guide): https://shorturl.at/Hzz1V


In this episode I sit down with Lake Tahoe short-term rental expert Murat Gocmen, Owner of MG Vacation Rentals and Real Estate Agent with Chase International Real Estate, to break down everything investors need to know before buying a vacation rental in Tahoe.

Murat owns and manages a portfolio of 50 Lake Tahoe STRs. He has real revenue and occupancy data that most investors never get access to. His combined experience as a real estate agent and STR management company owner gives him a 360-degree understanding of what actually performs—and what investors should avoid.

We discuss layout, amenities, occupancy limits, lake views, dynamic pricing, regulatory hurdles, tax strategies, cost segregation benefits, and which Tahoe neighborhoods deliver the strongest long-term returns. If you're a W-2 high-income earner looking to reduce taxes and build wealth through STR investing, this episode is essential.

In this video, we cover:
– What types of STR properties make the most money in Tahoe
– The 5 factors Murat uses to evaluate STR profitability
– Why Tahoe’s supply-and-demand fundamentals are so strong
– The best (and worst) areas around the lake for STR investing
– The truth about Lake Tahoe STR regulations in 2025
– How cost segregation and bonus depreciation can save investors thousands
– Real mistakes buyers make and how to avoid them
– How out-of-state investors can invest successfully without being here full-time
– Tools, systems, and pricing strategies that maximize occupancy
– What Murat sees coming in the next 3–5 years for Tahoe STRs
