Homeownership vs. Renting: A Personal Perspective

Airbnb's Global Head of Real Estate, Jesse Stein, joins The Rent Roll podcast to talk conspiracy theories about the impact of short-term rentals on the long-term rental market, real solutions, as well as to share Airbnb's strategy of partnering with apartment owners to empower apartment residents to make their units available for short-term stays. Additionally, host Jay Parsons toasts the retiring Oracle of Omaha — the great Warren Buffett — and shares words of wisdom he wrote about the rent-versus-buy debate back in 2010. Jay also discusses recent headlines on Gen Z renter preferences (and how amenity-rich student housing may be shaping those tastes), the supply shortage spiking rents in Milwaukee, and a plan to repurpose some federal lands for housing development.
