On this week's episode, Avery is joined by John and Christina McNaught. The couple shares how they transitioned from long-term rentals into short-term rentals after realizing a small Airbnb unit on their property could cover their mortgage and generate additional cash flow. They discuss investing in the Bradenton, Florida market, including seasonality patterns, how being within about 15 minutes of the beach still works for guests, and why understanding the typical “family vacation” guest avatar is critical when designing a property. John and Christina also explain how strategic amenity upgrades like a game room, mini golf, playground, and pickleball court helped turn one property from about $95K in annual revenue into more than $217K.
