Is Airbnb Still Worth It in 2025? Honest Breakdown with Victor Zeledón

MP3•Episode home

This week, Jannese is joined by Victor Zeledón (@ourjourneywithless) a husband, dad, and Airbnb mentor who proves you don’t need six figures, a trust fund, or a fancy investing background to build wealth through real estate.

Victor started with what most of us already have: a home, two extra rooms, and a need to build an emergency fund. Fast forward seven years and those two rooms turned into five cash-flowing rentals, a fully retired wife, homes in multiple states, and a roadmap to financial freedom.

This convo is packed with gems, game-changing strategies, and the kind of transparency that our comunidad NEEDS to hear — because real estate is not “just for other people.” It’s for us, too.

Top Takeaways

Start where you are. A spare room can be your entry point into real estate — not a barrier.
Airbnb hosting is work, but the income potential is REAL. Many hosts earn 2–3x a traditional rental.
2025 is still a viable year to invest, especially if you explore mid-term rentals and lower-cost markets.
