Quick Take - (Full Episode - #69 - Link Below to Full Episode)

We're talking short-term rentals in this episode! Meet Culin Tate, a serial entrepreneur, owner and host of nine Airbnb properties, short-term rental coach, author of Host Coach, and Airbnb ambassador.

His mission is to share his experiences and knowledge of specific tools, software, and systems that will turn your short-term rentals from being a "hobby" into a legitimate business.

Get an inside look into the tools and systems that Culin has implemented, and scale your short-term rental business into a life of financial freedom by starting to live your "why."

Most of Culin's properties are in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Central Virginia. The first one that he purchased is a condo on Turks and Caicos, and we discuss the differences of mountain and beach markets, and why he continues to operate in the Caribbean as a break-even.

If you're in that 2-4 Airbnb homes and you're thinking that you can accelerate that into a larger portfolio, or if you're just trying to figure out how to land and launch that first place, this episode will give you plenty of knowledge and confidence.
