We’re in our “side hustle season,” and this week we’re diving into Airbnb culture with Jessica Starr, a top realtor with LPT Realty and a seasoned Airbnb host who manages multiple properties across multiple states. In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to run a successful short-term rental: startup costs, management tips, red flags to avoid, and how to know if it’s the right fit for you. Whether you’re dreaming of passive income or wondering if this is just another Instagram trap, we’re breaking it all down. Spoiler alert: It’s not just fluff and fairy lights—this is a business.

Are you ready to host or should you just book the stay? Let’s find out.
