Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Like many investors, Keron Bryce started house hacking to help cover his mortgage. Once he discovered the potential of short-term rentals, however, he converted his unit into an Airbnb and doubled his cash flow right off the bat. But Keron still aspired to grow his business.
