    Ep 51: She Built a 70 Unit Arbitrage Empire at 23 years old with Hailie Maarie

    In this episode, Zoey sits down with Hailie Maarie, who built a 70-unit Airbnb arbitrage business starting at just 19. She shares how discovering that she didn’t need to own property opened the door to real estate, and how she quickly scaled by focusing on volume outreach, strong negotiation, and leveraging credit to fund her first deals. Her early success came from taking action fast, validating her model quickly, and doubling down once she saw bookings come in. As her business grew, Haley shifted from hustling to building systems—hiring a team, implementing automation (including AI for guest communication), and refining operations to scale sustainably. She emphasizes the importance of negotiation, aiming to pay below-market rent and secure concessions to hit profitability within 2–3 months. Beyond arbitrage, she views the model as a cash-flow tool to fund larger investments, with future plans to own multi-unit properties while continuing to leverage her expertise in hospitality.
