Airbnb's are unique, beautiful, spacious, interesting experiences that immerse you into the local culture of the city...and sometimes you meet the host.

If you do this full-time or aspire to, and invest wisely, it's cash flow that helps pay your bills and it's appreciation that will help make you very wealthy.

But ask anyone who has become wealthy on RE over the last 80 years, and I bet the majority of them did it on appreciation, or started their own RE company.
