Thinking about buying a property purely to run an Airbnb business? Watch this first. 🛑
Real estate pro Moose Math breaks down the reality of short-term rentals that most investors won't tell you:
House hacking an Airbnb (living on-site): High control, you keep the cleaning fee, and operations stay simple.
Buying purely as a business (hands-off with management): 15–20% property management fees, constant operational headaches, and unpredictable bookings (even around major events like the World Cup).
At the end of the day, passive income should actually be passive. A reliable long-term tenant often beats the stress of trying to break even on an Airbnb business.
