About Our Guest:

John Bianchi, also known as The Airbnb Data Guy, is a real estate investor who spends much of his time providing useful information on how to scrub data to find your next investment.

In 2017, at just 24 years old, John sold a $10 million investment portfolio to start an Airbnb Arbitrage business. He quickly grew that to 15 cash-flowing properties in the Chicago area. By doing that, he developed processes to analyze Airbnb data and identify highly profitable properties anywhere. Since then, he's been teaching people these processes.
