    How Whitney Hansen Created an Iconic AirBnB Property (Stacking Deeds Greatest Hits!)

    On today's show we go back in time to our conversation with Whitney Hansen (Money Nerds podcast and AirBnB host). Whitney secured a competitive AirBnB grant to build--of all things--a home shaped like a flower pot! Today, that property has been built and is a huge hit. But back when we talked to Whitney construction was ongoing. She spoke with us about the process, challenges, and thrills of building a one-of-a-kind home. She also details her systems for finding renters, maintaining controls, and more. Of course, this episode features a headline AND Doug's trivia, as usual!
