When Covid 19 hit, no one was prepared. It came with no indication, and then instantly, it decimated the whole planet. When they say change is constant, this is not the kind of change anyone expects and appreciates. This is a very unwelcome change. But perhaps, being constant makes it more unanticipated. This kind of change is beyond anyone’s control.
The pandemic took the world in a whirlwind of Herculean and historical proportions. Everyone was affected. Suddenly, every nation became attuned. Businesses became immobilized, the medical field endured and collapsed, the entertainment scene closed curtains, even the real estate industry was not spared.
Months following the spread of COVID 19, there have been projections on how the pandemic would impact real estate. For some, unfavorable implications were emanated, but for the many enthusiasts, they saw it as an opportunity.
These are just some of the many unanticipated changes that people are currently facing because of COVID 19.
Though measures have been observed to flatten the curve, the crisis is still there. Unlike hotel guests, this “visitor” has no definite itinerary. It came with no reservations and will check out unannounced. But then again, even if you feel like complaining, which is to blame, right?
In the worst times, the best approach is to follow the protocols and health practices. Perhaps, it would also be best to maintain a high level of tolerance for unforeseen circumstances. It pays to be prepared and keep an optimistic stance in life. Covid 19 may be a phenomenon, but it is and will never be larger than life.

As a short-term rental business owner, use this opportunity to unearth innovations for your business. If there’s a need for you to do some renovations, this may be the time you’ve been trying to squeeze in your schedule. If you’re planning to revamp your style and design, there’s no stopping you this time. Reassess what your short-term rental lacks and start whatever needs to be done. The business may be a little slow, but in time it’ll be back to how it was or perhaps the new normal. Either way, keep a good eye and always maintain a degree of level-headedness.
As mentioned, this happening is beyond anyone’s control. Don’t bother yourself with things that would leave you unproductive. In the long run, how you regard things now affects the future. And remember, “This, too, shall pass.”
