How does a short-term rental entrepreneur grow from two to 100+ Airbnb units? And then leverage the cashflow from that business to buy a boutique hotel?
Rebecca Slivka is the cofounder of boutique hotel Hicksville Trailer Palace and STR management company Pillow and Coffee.
Rebecca got her start on Airbnb in the Los Angeles market, scaling the rental arbitrage model to a portfolio of 100+ units. Today, she serves as a coach for our STR Legends X 90-Day Accelerator.
On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Rebecca joins me to discuss her expertise in leveraging VAs to grow a STR business and describe how she used the revenue from master leasing to invest in Hicksville Trailer Palace.
She explores what differentiates the STR Legends Mastermind from other Airbnb conferences and explains how she benefitted from being a part of the first Legends live event.
Listen in to understand how Rebecca’s Legends X students grow so much in such a short period of time and get her best advice for small operators looking to make Airbnb their full-time income!
