Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today, we are joined by Daanish Azim, who built a $60K/month Airbnb business without owning a single property. He lost everything in 2022, took a chance on one rental unit, and turned it into a small empire. Now he teaches others how to do the same through Airbnb arbitrage.

In this episode, we chat about…

• What Airbnb arbitrage is and how it works

• Why getting property owners' permission matters

• How to check city rules and avoid issues with regulations

• Funding the business using 0% business credit cards

• What today's Airbnb market requires: staging, photos, pricing, and systems

• Why some people need coaching and others don't

1. You don't need to own real estate to start an Airbnb business

2. Local rules matter, always check city regulations and HOAs

3. Most units need proper staging and pro-level photos to stand out

4. You can fund furniture using 0% business credit cards instead of cash

5. Owners want three things: rent on time, low stress, and legal use

6. Many beginners fail not from lack of information but lack of guidance

7. Focusing on one business for at least a year builds real results
