Jasper is joined by Zeona McIntyre who is an Airbnb Consultant and Rental Manager. In addition to her management company she also personally owns and rents out several properties via Airbnb.

Zeona got her start with Airbnb by renting out a spare bedroom in her apartment. From there she began leasing and renting out apartment units via Airbnb. This strategy worked for quite a while but she was eventually kicked out of an apartment for doing this. After a couple of these experiences, Zeona decided to start buying her rental properties, and she now owns and rents out four properties!

Zeona has some great advice for anyone that is interested in buying real estate for an Airbnb rental but doesn’t know what to look for.
