Episode Details

In the age of digital nomads, people are finding the freedom to travel while working. The demand for Mid-Term rentals has skyrocketed in the last few years and that is why in this episode of The Real InvestHER Show, Liz and Andresa are joined by special guest, Zeona McIntyre. Zeona went from being $50,000 in debt to financially free in just two years by using Airbnb to invest in real estate. She became an Airbnb host in 2012 and has since managed short-term rentals across the globe, before transitioning to selling real estate to investors looking to house hack or live for free. Zeona is an avid real estate investor who owns a double-digit short- and medium-term rental portfolio. She also hosts a podcast called Invest2FI, where she teaches listeners how to achieve financial freedom through real estate.   In this episode, Zeona will discuss why midterm rentals are an important part of the real estate market and why currently travel nurses are the ideal customer for this high-demand market. Zeona also outlines how to find and rent to nurses, and offers advice on how to maximize profits from rental properties and tips about how to best utilize a mid-term property, such as insurance requirements and contract lengths.   Ladies, this episode is full of actionable advice that you can take right now to improve your leasing success.
