Here is the second part of my time with Zeona and we got into the nitty-gritty of what works and what doesn’t! We discussed the different platforms (positives & negatives), mistakes in listings, how to price, standing out in the crowd, dealing with non-positive reviews, and so much more. This episode is a must-listen if you have ever played around with the idea of getting into the short-term vacation rental game but make sure you listen to Part 1 to hear the how and why Zeona got to where she is & how she has made it her career.
Some of you may know that Heather & I are proud owners of a few Airbnb properties which have definitely had a positive impact on our pocketbooks and that is exactly why I was so excited to talk to our guest today all about how she made it into a career.
Today’s guest, Zeona McIntyre went from a $12 an hour retail job while side-hustling by renting out her place on Airbnb to owning her own Airbnb property to now having an entire vacation property management company that she runs while traveling around the world.
The best part of the deal is that you don’t even need to own a home to make this work for you!
In this first of a two-part series, we discuss Zeona’s backstory of how she got started, tips and tricks for the beginner, and if she had it to do over again what would she have done differently.
Chris used to be an accountant but then decided to go out on a big adventure that turned into more.
Travelers will know this feeling. If you’re going to go on one big bucket list trip, you might as well go on three!
Or as Chris Cage said, when you’re in New Zealand you might as well be in Southeast Asia!
After traveling through Southeast Asia, biking through New Zealand and walking the Appalachian Trail, Chris realized there was an issue.
It was hard to find enough calories to power these kinds of adventures!!
So he set out to solve the issue by creating his own shelf-stable bar that could power cyclists and hikers of all kinds.
And so Greenbelly.co was born, almost completely unintentionally. It had never been his plan to create his own business, but that’s where he ended up. And it’s been an awesome ride.
Getting to travel, live, and work anywhere is pretty sweet in its own right, but after six years of being location independent, Heather and Trav have found 7 other benefits of location independence that are great – but often get overlooked.
