Episode 112: Making Bank in Houston TX w/ THE Airbnb guy of H-Town TJ Tijani!
Description
TJ Tijani owns 70% of his Houston short-term rental portfolio and arbitrages 30%, targeting a 50-50 split long term. He bought his first Airbnb property - a three-bedroom house near downtown - for $90,000, put $70,000 into rehab, and refinanced at $245,000 with zero out of pocket using a private lender. Now he specialises in duplexes listed three ways: unit A, unit B, or the entire building sleeping twelve at $400-$450 per night, serving medical travelers and large business groups within minutes of the Texas Medical Center.
The episode covers buying real estate with time instead of money through the BRRRR method, theming units to stand out in a saturated one-bedroom market, and scaling with systems including Smart BNB, PriceLabs, TurnoverBnB, and a Philippines-based virtual assistant. TJ discusses Houston's lack of citywide restrictions, competition from Sonder and Lyric in Midtown,Profile picture testing, Turkey Leg Hut's impact on bookings, and his March 21st masterclass.
