    Nowadays, short-term rentals are a popular topic in the discussion of pursuing financial freedom. Airbnb and short-term rental owners in general have been enjoying some serious profit and the numbers of our Airbnbs definitely attest to that. It's one of the best strategies we added to our house hacking move and it's an investment you might be considering as well. But is it really practical for us busy working or training doctors? Does the profitability outweigh the challenges and “extra” work? In this episode, I share a few pointers from my experience of managing  Airbnbs while working as a dentist and assistant professor with some help from my hubby who is in residency/medical school.My hope is that you'll get some insight to help you if starting an Airbnb/STR is best for you, your circumstances, and financial freedom goals.Connect with Me!IG: @drclaudiepascalYoutube: Rich Black Doc
