FAR 268 Notes Rich Munroe AirBnb
Opening: Short Term rentals are a hot topic right now. Today we are doing the first of a two part series on them with a focus on AirBnB. Our guest is Superhost Rich Munroe of Diamond Edge Properties. He has his own properties and manages properties for other AirBnB hosts. He’s coming along shortly to discuss the ins and outs of short term rentals and help us understand the amazing potential of this investing method.
And do you know what an AVM is? You should, because it’s about to be involved of 70% of single family home transactions. The acronym stands for Automated Valuation Model. The problem is - AVMs are generally unreliable and can often create problems rather than solve them. I will explain.
Realogy is back in the news - this time not about their lawsuit against Compass. This time they have trouble of their own. Purplebricks is closing shop in the US, and we have an engagement announcement - Redfin and OpenDoor have announced a joint project in two cities. What that is and what it means to you is coming up.
Plus if we have time I’m going to share with you some towns that will pay you to live there and a few places you can get FREE land.
