Buying a short term rental doesn’t need to be complicated. But, with more than 14,000 listings hitting the market every single day, the likelihood of you finding the right home at the right time feels damn near impossible.

You need to find the right location.
With the right unit economics.
And, the right style.

It’s tough.

But, when you do… it’s a game life changer.

The last Airbnb I purchased provides a 16.99% Cash on Cash return with $15,700+ in annual free cash flow after my mortgage and all expenses…

I hope this is a resource that saves you time, so you can make decisions in minutes and avoid missing out on the property that will change your life.
