Wendy Doris (@mostess.host) used to flip homes for a living, and has since moved to managing short-term rentals. As someone who travels quite a bit, I was curious how viable it is to rent out your own place when you're gone, and what we should know as guests when it comes to renting spaces on Airbnb. 

In this episode we talk about: 

• Is it worth it to rent out your apartment when you're out of town?
• Things you might not think about being a landlord 
• Reasons to use a management company for your short-term rental
• Things to look for when finding a place on Airbnb
• What does being a "Super Host" mean?
• How to be a better guest
• and more!
