| 0:00.0 | What's up, well, builders? Today, I've got a guy who had 14 Airbnbs, and pretty much all of them got shut down overnight. And so today we're going to hear about what do you do when that happens, because a lot of people watching the show have been through something similar with owning rental properties or Airbnb or even a business where something just changes overnight. I've got my guy, Ivan Tadadon. What's up, man? Going on. |
| 0:21.4 | Thank you for having me again. |
| 0:22.8 | Yeah. |
| 0:23.3 | It's been a minute. It's been a minute. A lot to catch up. We got twins in the house today. Two bald guys. Let's go. Bald and beautiful, baby. All them beautiful. Bald and beautiful. It's funny because they keep comparing other. Are you guys brothers? |
| 0:35.4 | You guys related? |

| 0:40.5 | Hispanic. One is tall. One is tall. One is, you know, for that. Yeah. For Hispanic. So, bro, I mean, I've known you for a while now and we'll kind of get into what we're doing together now, which is awesome. |
| 0:54.8 | But, dude, you were doing the Airbnb Arbitrage thing for a minute and making good money. |
| 1:00.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:00.3 | And it got shut down overnight. |
| 1:03.1 | Yeah, seemingly overnight for sure. |
| 1:06.1 | It basically, it had a really good run. |
| 1:07.9 | So I was doing arbitrage. |
| 1:08.8 | And usually in arbitrage, you last maybe a year, whatever your lease term is. But dude, I was in these properties for seven years |
| 1:16.9 | before recently. So I was like, you're the best tenant ever. Literally, I was literally the best and |
| 1:22.3 | we'll get to what happens when you're the best tenant. But yeah, I rode that wave and I already felt like I didn't want to do arbitrage, but I wasn't going to be the one to shut down a stream of income that was decent, right?
