Summary

In 2023, Jesse purchased a property in Aptos, California, for $700,000, hoping to turn it into a successful Airbnb.

He warns against using a realtor who is also a contractor, as it led to unexpected expenses and challenges, while also acknowledging that every investor will likely encounter a shady agent or contractor at some point.
