Ep. 78 - Maximizing Profits through Short-Term Rental Investments The Art of Winning

    • Entrepreneurship

In today's The Art of Winning episode, our host Ashton Levarek shares his journey of creating multiple income streams through short-term rentals. He explains how Airbnb can be a great way to make passive income, profiting/netting $70-100k annually from 1-2 Airbnbs. Ashton suggests using tools like AirDNA to calculate the gross potential income and dividing it by the average purchase price to determine if a market is worth investing in. He offers tips on making a rental more attractive to guests and outlines various automation tools and apps that can be used to manage properties remotely with less than one to two hours of work per day. Investing in real estate through Airbnb can be a great way to generate passive income and retire early, significantly since short-term rental demand is increasing every year.
