🎙️Episode 200: Short-Term Rentals:  Interview With the STR Doctor, Rachel Gainsbrugh 👨‍💼Guest Bio: Rachel was born in Haiti with a drive to make a difference and not take her parents' sacrifices for granted.  She was raised in Miami, worked hard, became a doctor, and was left with over $500K in student loans.   So, she grinded hard to pay off her loans.  When she found AirBNB investing, it became a game-changer for her where she was able to make 15X on short-term real estate rentals over long-term rentals. Now, she’s a healthcare professional by day and a rental investor by night.  She’s the owner and manager of 18 luxury short-term rentals with a lucrative cash-flowing rental portfolio, mom, wife, and real estate coach that was recently featured on a Netflix TV show showcasing one of her luxury rentals. Rachel is passionate about helping professionals create a life they don’t need a vacation from through AirBNB investing. #IconsOfRealEstate #JoinTheIconsMovement 🗣️Notable Quotes: “Looking at 3x the revenue generated from long term rentals if I can figure out a way to leverage skills with managing people and systemize it.” 📇Connecting with Rachel:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-rachel-gainsbrugh-4bb33721  LinkedIn Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/short-term-gems  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/422973842093365  Facebook Business: https://www.facebook.com/shorttermgems  Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/rachel.gainsbrugh  Instagram: @short.term.gems Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqbd6q_YI8KI-zyTeBgMjnQ  Website: https://www.shorttermgems.com  🎇Want to be featured on the Icons of Real Estate Podcast?
