In today's excellent episode of The BiggerPockets Podcast, Zeona McIntyre shares how her investments in short term rentals - some local and some long distance - have provided her with enough income to retire early and travel the world.

She has some great tips for furnishing your rental inexpensively, how to price it properly, and how to get a maximum number of listings.

Am I the only one that took serious issue with this podcast? @biggerpockets putting out to its members to violate the rental agreements they sign and turn someone's investment into a hotel without their knowledge? She says herself she lived in fear of getting caught. It doesn't mention what should have happened to her when she did get caught, which should have been an eviction, loss of her deposit and in most states a large chunk of the remaining rent still owed.

As a real estate investor what's the point of screening tenets or saying its such an important step if the tenet will then run a business of letting un-vetted people with no ties to my property stay there? Another thought struck me. Without a contract with the actual property owner the people she is illegally renting to could be considered trespassing.

Disclosure: I could only listen to 20 minutes before it pissed me off and I shut it down.
