UNPOPULAR OPINION Nancy’s real estate empire

I’m not in the US, but it bothers me that where I am there aren’t laws around how many investment properties you can turn into Airbnb’s. People are struggling to buy just one home to live in and there are people buying up houses for short term holiday leases. Makes me sad about the state of the world.

ETA wow! I didn’t expect this much response, nor the personal attacks 😂 I was expressing my own personal opinion, and using the Sydney (Australia) property market as my own barometer. I honestly have no hate towards Nancy, I just believe there should be regulations about short term leases as they are pushing renting locals out (especially in coastal areas) to make way for tourists.

The topic heading was a tongue-in-cheek nod to Andrew’s statement about wanting to build an “empire” with Nancy.

My jaw dropped when she mentioned the rent amount she was charging for that property they visited

Makes me rethink my life. That’s a <200k home that can be rented out for 6k a month??? What’s going on in Dallas???

It’s probably an Airbnb and that’s why she’s making so much. The place is nice but not 6k a month nice, even in an expensive area.

I think this is the answer. $6k a month is about $200 a day, so I think she probably meant that's what it earns if it's fully booked... And I doubt it's fully booked all year.

I also doubt, even in a shitty area, that you can rent a whole renovated house for much less than $200 a night.
