Investing in Airbnbs 101
Have you ever thought about getting into short-term rentals, but were not sure where to start? Perhaps you have thought about it but question if it will really work. Perhaps you think, “I don’t live in a vacation destination.” “A down payment costs too much.” “How much will it cost to furnish and run it?” “Is it really worth my time?” Well, my friend, you are not alone!
Investing in Airbnbs 101, we will discuss:
- The Three Types of Airbnb Hosting: Ownership, Arbitrage, and Co-Hosting- and how to determine which is the best fit for you.
- What makes Airbnb Hosting the best real estate investment going into 2022 as we compare it to Long Term Traditional Landlording and Rehabbing houses
- Turning it Full Time or Passive: How you can get involved in Airbnbs no matter what level of involvement you are looking for.
- And much, much more!
Join MeiLani Hock (author, podcast host, mentor) in this Don’t Miss event as she takes us on a journey to get a full understanding of the Airbnb investment industry going into 2022. Local expert Ron Mashburn will join MeiLani to explain nuances germane to Carolinas REIA, Asheville Metro and surrounding areas.
Mark your calendar and preregister now to receive these super-handy tools!
Now it’s up to YOU to take advantage of what he’s going to teach us, which is how to work WITH other investors to get everything you need.
So now we’re begging YOU—drop whatever you’d planned to do on the 21st, and get to this meeting live or via the simulcast. You won’t just learn her secrets, you’ll PRACTICE them—but you have to let us know you’re coming by registering HERE.

Meet CREIA’s Member of the Month for September 2021!
Congratulations, Austin Lee!
Austin Lee - CREIANC Member of the Month
Austin Lee was born and raised in Bryson City and now makes Waynesville his home. When he was in High School, his parents bought a mobile home park and gave him one of the units to work on—it was in the back of the park, scary and boarded-up—but he saved up his money from summer jobs, renovated it, and that became his first rental unit. After teaching at Swain High School, he then obtained his Masters Degree and taught at Haywood Community College for 12 years. Austin and his wife, Tina, began to do some “live-in” flips. The first was considered a “tear down” by a developer, so they moved in, renovated it and lived in it for 2 years before selling tax-free: it was then that Austin saw he could make more in a few months of flipping than he could in a year of teaching.
In 2015 Austin became a licensed contractor and left his teaching job to become a full-time investor. He continues to flip and acquire rentals and improve his units in between flips. Austin acknowledges that he has benefited considerably from CREIA in several ways ranging from receiving mentorship to directly doing multiple deals with various members. A member of CREIA since around 2006, Austin says with hard work and confidence anyone can do this. As he would say, “Just get over your fear and do it”.
In recognition of your experience, expertise and your willingness to advise and help other investors, you have been chosen as CREIANC’s Member of the Month for September 2021.
Way to go and thank you for your commitment to your CREIA Community.
