AirBNB Expert Brian Page Tells All About Short-Term Rentals
Brian Page is an expert entrepreneur, speaker, and international business coach. Years ago, he was still working at a small software company when he realized that he wanted to have his own business and be his own boss.
Sound familiar…?
Brian began to leverage other people’s properties (you read that right) and list them on Airbnb. By following a simple “formula”, he earned over $300,000 in his first year. Now, Brian teaches this formula to others and trains them on launching their own Airbnb businesses.
He sat down with us for a Facebook Live ALL access AMA (Ask Me Anything) round and told us everything we need to build a short-term rental empire without owning property. Our talk was jam packed with useful information!
