Ep 9 - What it’s like to DIY an AirBNB renovation, how DIY projects differ with an investment property, and how to build up the courage to just go for it w/ Amanda McGrew (@justdoitamanda)

Update: 2022-04-26

Description

On the show today, Amanda and I dive into a completely different realm of DIY - investment properties. As a first-time AirBNB host, Amanda bought a home in Phoenix and took on the projects and design by herself without any prior experience (crazy I know). We go into everything from how she got started, how she built up the courage to start, what it’s like to host an AirBNB, and how profitable it is to DIY a short-term investment property. Amanda is a true go-getter and is well worth a follow. It’s only fitting that her new handle is @justdoitamanda (previously known as @cactushousediy).

You can find Amanda’s AirBNB property in Phoenix, Arizona at http://airbnb.com/h/cactushousephx
