How Fareed Abedini Lost $1.7M at 20 — Then Rebuilt Through Airbnb
What would you do if you earned $1.7 million before turning 21… and then lost every dollar?
Most people would crumble.
But today’s guest — Fareed Abedini — used that rock bottom moment as the catalyst for one of the greatest comebacks you’ll ever hear.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, Fareed opens up about the brutal reality of losing millions through day trading, the shame of watching it all disappear, and the exact moment he realized he had to rebuild from nothing. What followed was a transformation fueled by mentorship, resilience, and a new vehicle for wealth: Airbnb.
From couch-surfing with his mentor…
To managing properties he didn’t own…
To scaling into arbitrage…
To building a profitable real estate operation from zero…
Fareed breaks down the strategies, mindset shifts, and painful lessons that turned him into the entrepreneur he is today.
How Fareed turned $25K into $1.7M in six months
The moment everything collapsed — and how he handled it
The mentor who changed his life and forced him to level up
How he started Airbnb with no money, no credit, and no properties
The 20–25% management strategy anyone can begin with
Why arbitrage became his turning point
The numbers behind his first Airbnb ($6,500 month, $3,000 mortgage)
How to rebuild your identity after financial failure
Why Airbnb is still one of the most scalable models for new entrepreneurs
If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, broke, or unsure of your next move — this episode will remind you that you’re one decision away from a completely different life.
