Use the banks money to start an Airbnb #airbnb #airbnbbusiness #airbnbhost
Summary
This video provides a simple strategy to start an Airbnb using a credit card with a balance transfer promotion. The method involves transferring money from the credit card to a checking account to cover the first month's rent and security deposit on a rental property. The monthly cash flow from the Airbnb is then used to pay off the credit card balance. This allows new hosts to launch their first Airbnb without using their own money.
