Is Airbnb hosting an extra room in your home a profitable decision? If you’re today’s guest Amanda, then definitely! Amanda is bringing in an extra $1,000+ just from renting out a couple of extra spaces in her owner-occupied home. If she turned these both into full-time short-term rentals she could be bringing in thousands a month, on top of her income from two jobs!

With this house hacking model that Amanda is using, she’s able to get owner-occupied financing with lower interest rates and better terms. So what if she could start doing this with other houses and slowly grow a short-term rental empire? As Scott and Mindy discuss, it’s possible!
