The Emotional Dynamics of Renting vs. Buying in Real Estate

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.
