Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Replacing Your Income Using Airbnb with Zeona McIntyre Part 2

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.

Replace Your Income Using Airbnb with Zeona McIntyre

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Replacing Your Income Using Airbnb with Zeona McIntyre

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.
