Robert Leonard (@therobertleonard) talks with Travis Zappia (@theyoungretireeby33) about what investing in short-term rentals is, the pros and cons of this strategy, how someone gets started, how to pick markets, how to analyze a deal, how to screen tenants, how to finance these properties, and much, much more! Travis Zappia is a FIRE advocate who has started to get into real estate investing in the last three years. He purchased his first house hack in 2016 and decided to rent out each bedroom individually while living in the master bedroom. He has since purchased three additional properties and started a short-term rental management business. In 2020, Travis' short term rental business grossed over $110,000. He is on track to gross over $375,000 in 2021 with his net profit being roughly $110,000. With his Industrial Engineering background, he has developed a set of systems and processes which help him manage five short term rental units all while continuing to work a full-time job.
