I talk to Tracey Whitehead about her amazing adventure starting and growing her Airbnb business. Tracey turned her second home into a holiday let and hasn't looked back.

Having created a "home from home" feel with quirky decor inspired by her background as an Art teacher, Tracey's customers come back and she's always fully booked.

Now her days are spent enjoying reading positive reviews and she is looking forward to growing her business.

In this episode, we also explore:

How Tracey got started with her first property (3:20)
How a holiday let is more profitable than a buy to let (7:40)
Why Tracey chose to work with Airbnb and her top tips (8:16)

Tracey's plans for growing her business (17:03)
