Are you considering the addition of a short-term rental to your income portfolio but where you're looking is a few hours away?

If you're worried about the "risk" of having an Airbnb or VRBO that's not in your city or town, this episode was created just for YOU!

Here's my approach to risk in this (and every) business: I take a look at each risk, one by one, and do what I can to reduce or eliminate the risk altogether.
