Francesca Baglio is a real estate agent, investor, mom, and educator. She lives in New York City and is passionate about teaching women how to take charge of their financial future through the power of leveraging real estate. 

Today, we’re talking about how women can get started investing in short-term rentals… AKA Airbnb’s.

In this episode, Francesca breaks down the biggest myth about investing in real estate, shares how she started investing in real estate, and breaks down the biggest challenges women face in real estate investing.

She also goes into detail with these 15 simple ways women can invest in Airbnb properties:

1. Look for markets an hour or two outside your home market if you live in a place where the cost of living is high.
2. Buy lightly used furniture on Facebook Marketplace or visit an antique store.
3. Invest with partners, like family, friends, and people who have strengths you don’t have.
4. Do some of the renovations yourself, like painting walls or cabinets.
5. Research the market you’re going to buy in and focus on places like lake communities, areas with lots of restaurants, etc.
6. Bust out the spreadsheets and look at the calendars on Airbnb and vrbo to analyze markets and make projections, like: 
   1. Data online as a middle ground
   2. Look at your best-case scenario 
   3. Look at you worst-case scenario
7. Check out free resources and Facebook Groups about investing, like Female Short Term Rental forums, and The Short Term Show podcast.
8. Hook up with an agent who specializes in investing and short-term rentals in your area.
9. Get in the right money mindset to invest in real estate.
10. Automate things like paying for utilities.
11. Hire a property manager or co-host if you don’t want to worry about the day-to-day responsibilities.
12. Make your short-term rental Instagramable as if it’s a brand.
13. Don’t do a same-day turnover when you’re starting out.
14. Turn to Airbnb for help.
15. Visit Investhercollective.com and learn from the best!

If you’re a book lover, you’ve probably fallen down the #bookstagram rabbit hole on Instagram. It’s where I get a lot of my book recommendations and it’s where some avid readers build quite a social media following. 

In this podcast episode, I talk to the woman behind @BookcaseBeauty, Katelyn Cole. She talks about how and why she started her account on Instagram, her growth strategies, and when it took a turn that made her revisit her goals because she learned she could make money from her hobby. 

Of course, we nerd out on bookish things too!

No, you don’t need to spend loads of money to build your email list. In this podcast episode, Jessica Rodriguez shares the biggest myths around organic visibility (and how to leverage that to your advantage), how to choose an opt-in topic and type that aligns with your paid offers and attracts more of the right people, and what to have in place in order to create a memorable experience for those on your list because that will lead to higher connections and conversions.

In this episode, Jessica answers questions like:

• How do you start building an email list… and is it too late to start?
• Paid versus organic with list building: How do you know which route to go and when?
• How do you build a list to get sales and not just subscribers?

As the CEO of Freedom Driven Success, Jessica Rodriguez is on a mission to help online businesses expand beyond a 1:1 client-reliant business model with scalable offers so they can reclaim the freedom they originally started their business to have. 

Her Clients to Courses® framework guides women through her proven framework to break free from their maxed-out business model and create sustainability through the power of profitable online courses.

When not talking all things business, you can find Jessica making inappropriate jokes with her hubby, trying (and failing) to keep her furbabies from taking over the house, curled up on the couch binging Netflix, or traveling to experience whatever next adventure life brings.

You can find Jessica on Facebook and Instagram at @freedomdrivensuccess
