In this session, he shares his expert opinion on owning AirBnb rental properties as compared to long-term rentals, along with the nuances of setting boundaries as a rental property owner. He is open to sharing mistakes he has made along the journey and what he finds rewarding in his role as a rental property owner.

Why investing in real estate is a common denominator for wealthy people
How AirBnb rental management differs from traditional long-term rentals
How Mando maintains boundaries with tenants living in such close proximity to his home
Why Mando works with a rental management company for AirBnb rentals, cleaning, maintenance, etc.
How Mando’s AirBnb rental properties bring in significantly more money monthly than the same units did previously as long-term rentals
Mando’s mistakes in not knowing what his expenses would actually be on his older property
Mando’s advice to others: “Whether you purchase a property as a primary residence or for a rental, have an emergency fund set up to cover repairs and maintenance. There will always be unexpected issues that come up.”
