Everyone's making money on Airbnb. Or at least, that's what they want you to believe. But if you're a busy professional trying to figure out your first real estate move — Airbnb might actually be the worst place to start. And I say that as someone who owns them.

In this episode, I'm cutting through the hype and breaking down the real difference between active and passive investing. You'll learn exactly what Airbnb looks like behind the scenes, why even with a property manager, most people are barely breaking even, and why long-term, out-of-state rentals are usually the smarter first move for busy people who want real estate to work for them without becoming a second job.

I also share the story of my own property manager charging 30% while I was barely breaking even, why a four-star review almost changed my entire strategy, and what actually gave me financial security (hint: it wasn't Airbnb).

This isn't about telling you what to do. It's about helping you choose the right path — at the right time — for your life.
