I was starting to feel, I don't know, not guilty, but just a little annoyed at the idea of paying a landlord and not getting any equity out of it.

And I'm a big fan of investing in your backyard.

Hi, my name is Rob Abisolo, and I've got a unique obsession with building tiny homes.

Five years ago, I decided to try out this crazy concept where you rent out your house to strangers on this thing called the Airbnb.

Anybody out there can get started in real estate.

I try to make real estate approachable to the everyday person.

That's my mission in all things that I do.

You're listening to the Erica Toppy podcast, the number one business podcast in the US,

where we talk about entrepreneurship, money, and how to improve your life and achieve success.

I'm your host, Erica Colberg, I'm a lawyer and personal finance expert with over 20 million followers on social media.

Today, I'm talking to Rob Abisolo, co-host of the bigger pockets podcast and short term rental expert.

Four years ago, he accidentally fell into the short term rental gig and is now making over six figures of passive income a year.

If you're interested in real estate investing, this is the episode for you.

I'm Erica Colberg, this is Erica Toppy, and today we're here with Rob Abisolo.

You guys know that I love investing, because you know that if your money is just sitting in a bank account,

you're losing out to inflation every single year.

That's why you invest it so that it grows for you without you having to put in any extra work.
