In this episode we discuss the ins and outs of rental arbitrage with former investment banker and Airbnb investor, Michael Chang. Michael shares how he got into the business and what he has learned along the way, having managed 26 Airbnbs, 20 of which are rental arbitrage in Philadelphia, while owning the other 6 outright. He emphasizes the importance of building a great partnership with landlords and having a non-problem tenant to add value to their business. Michael explains that rental arbitrage is a capital-efficient way to get into the business and is very scalable. He advises that the best way to find great locations is through data-driven research on demand and supply, and by being upfront and honest with potential landlords. Michael also shares some of the downsides of rental arbitrage, such as the lack of control over the property, but notes that having a layer of trust with landlord partners and implementing percentage measures can help mitigate some of the risks. He also discusses how COVID impacted his business and how he had to pivot to focus on the highest value opportunities.

We sit down with Daniel Rusteen, an Airbnb expert who has worked for the platform, managed properties, and now consults for others. Daniel shares his insights and tips on how to view your Airbnb as a business, rather than just a hobby. He emphasizes the importance of being specific about the amenities of your property, suggesting that less is often more when it comes to listing photos. Daniel also recommends providing a floor plan in the listing and using a highly converting title that includes the most sought-after amenities for your market. Daniel advises hosts to think beyond Airbnb and other platforms as a listing service and create their own website with a domain name for their short-term rental. He shares stories of hosts who faced challenges with social media marketing and influencer partnerships, cautioning that these strategies may not be worth the investment for most hosts.

In today's episode, we're going from Massachusetts to Florida with Jeff Higgins, a seasoned real estate investor, to talk about the impact of incentives, evictions, and extreme weather. As Jeff shares, incentives can have a massive impact on the decisions made by landlords and tenants alike. For example, in Florida, where the eviction process is much easier and quicker, landlords can enforce a 3-day pay or quit policy, while in Massachusetts, the eviction process can be slow and cumbersome, giving tenants more opportunities to delay or stall without penalty. Jeff also discusses the impact of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, on the real estate market. While it's a common myth that hurricanes don't hit Siesta Key, the reality is that extreme weather can lead to much higher insurance costs and make it harder for property owners to find affordable coverage. In addition to the main topic, we introduce a new segment called ResilientREI Storytime, where we share inspiring stories of real estate investors who have overcome challenges and achieved success. In this episode, Jeff shares two stories, including one about a three-flat property in a bad area that he bought for $64k, did a ton of work on, and eventually sold for $425k, controlling $1.2 million across 11 condos in Florida.

We speak with Jonathan Yoo, COO, and Dustin Rosenberg, CEO of Convoy Home Loans, as they share their expertise on financing deals after leaving your day job. For non-W2 individuals, getting a traditional mortgage can be challenging. Self-employed individuals, business owners, or full-time investors may not have the necessary paperwork or qualifications for these types of loans. However, Jonathan and Dustin discuss an alternative solution - DSCR loans. These loans underwrite deals based on the cash flow of a property, rather than the borrower's personal income. This opens up opportunities for those who want to expand their rental property portfolios without being limited by traditional loan requirements.
