🌟 Short Term Rentals 🌟

Carl Vidal brings more than 25 years of entrepreneurial and civic leadership experience to the short-term-rental industry, combining data-driven strategy with deep insight into New Mexico’s tourism and housing landscape. As the founder of Irvie Homes, a multi-city short-term-rental firm generating more than $2.25 million annually, Carl has firsthand expertise in scaling profitable operations while maintaining high standards of guest experience and community compliance.

Serving as the New Mexico Airbnb Community Leader and the primary author of the state’s first Short-Term-Rental Economic Impact Study, Carl offers an evidence-based perspective on how short-term rentals contribute to local economies. His background in forging public-private partnerships and advocating for balanced regulation positions him as a trusted advisor for hosts, investors, and policymakers seeking to align business goals with community values.

Through his board-level strategic vision and persuasive engagement before state and local governments, Carl helps property owners and organizations navigate evolving regulations, optimize portfolio performance, and leverage short-term rentals to elevate Albuquerque’s—and New Mexico’s—visitor economy.
