Episode notes

Don’t have enough capital to own property? Enter Airbnb arbitrage, the popular investment strategy that allows you to rent out someone else’s property for a profit. Of course, there are a few challenges that come with this. Namely, you’ll need to convince your landlord that it’s a good idea! As always, Ashley and Tony are back with some important tips.

In today’s episode of Rookie Reply, we’re breaking down Airbnb arbitrage, and weighing the pros and cons on both sides of the arrangement. We also touch on the best liability protection strategies, using a HELOC for a down payment, and when it might be advantageous to buy a turnkey property versus a distressed property. Finally, we tackle the subject of tax planning and how hiring a CPA could help you save a fortune come tax season!
