Are you ignoring the red flags of a potential investment property? In today’s episode, I’m sharing a recent experience I had of discovering the perfect property for an Airbnb listing… until I took a closer look.

I walk you through our due diligence process, the major issues we uncovered (spoiler alert: barking dogs and missing ovens), and why the numbers that look great on paper don’t always tell the whole story. This isn’t just about one deal gone wrong—it’s about evaluating Airbnb properties for long-term success.
