Episode 51: Jasper Ribbers joins us! International Airbnbing, Podcasting & Cheap Rum!
Description
Steve interviews Jasper Ribbers, host of Get Paid for Your Pad, about his shift from Airbnb hosting tips to international real estate investing. After selling his Amsterdam apartment, Jasper bought three properties - in Cali Colombia, the Philippines, and a pre-construction studio elsewhere - targeting 6-12% cash-on-cash returns by renting to tourists when he's not using the places himself. He's applying for Panama residency for tax reasons and recommends Puerto Rico as a top opportunity right now: affordable real estate, high nightly rates, weak competition, and favorable tax treatment for Americans.
The conversation covers podcast monetization through networking rather than sponsorships, the arbitrage model versus ownership, legal due diligence in foreign markets including scam protection, squatter risk mitigation by targeting tourists, and the digital nomad movement reshaping how younger generations approach work and travel. Jasper shares a story about Philippine rum being cheaper than Coke and advises finding expats who've already invested in a country before putting money down yourself.
