In today’s show, Pancham interviews Tim Hubbard. Tim is the CEO and Founder of Midtown Stays, a short-term rental accommodation company which has successfully accommodated more than 10,000 guests across the world. Tim has also co-authored the Amazon best-seller, Resilience.

Today, Tim gives us a “peek” into the short-term rental business. Tim shares his business philosophy, and reveals why short-term rentals are here to stay. You will also learn how Tim is living his dream life as he manages his business remotely from beautiful Medellin, Columbia.

We wrap up this show with our Taking the Leap round. If you are a new or aspiring real estate investor, you will find this segment of the show particularly interesting.
