Most people getting into real estate are chasing passive income, but short-term rentals are anything but passive. In this episode, Emeka breaks down the three things you absolutely must understand before buying an Airbnb or short-term rental property. From managing cleaners and reviews to losing margins when you hire a co-host, the hidden costs and time demands of STRs will shock most new investors. On top of that, cities like St. Petersburg, Florida are cracking down hard on short-term rentals, and one ordinance can wipe out your entire cash flow overnight. If your deal doesn't work as a long-term rental first, Mecca says don't buy it — and this episode tells you exactly why.https://www2.breakthrought1d.org/site/TR?fr_id=10665&pg=personal&px=13772239Connect with Emeka Ogbonna:Donate to cure Type 1 Diabetes: https://www2.breakthrought1d.org/site/TR?fr_id=10665&pg=personal&px=13772239Website: stayreadyrealestate.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stayreadyrealestate/YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIeAZ-rMMFqhE44gu23a0Tqo7a5xqemQD&si=81iIqKvKfCl05ktMSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7C5pv7sUSF0qEcotOmdElmX:https://twitter.com/EmekarOgbonna
