We welcomed Kyah Ebert, founder of Stay Happy Asheville, as our featured guest at the IRA Café. At just 22 years old, Kyah is already reshaping the way investors think about short-term rentals. Alongside his partners, he manages, leases, and owns 50 vacation rental properties, transforming what is often seen as a side hustle into a business that generates cash flow on a scale.

In this IRA Café session, Kyah Ebert shared how he scaled his business from just a few vacation rentals to managing 50+ properties. He emphasized the importance of smart systems, strong partnerships, and a clear growth strategy, while also highlighting why short-term rentals are thriving in today’s flexible travel market. Kyah debunked common myths about risk and seasonality, stressed the value of guest-focused design and amenities, and outlined his vision for sustainable “key collection investing” that balances profitability with exceptional guest experiences.
