About this episode
Daanish Azim shares his journey of building a successful Airbnb business through arbitrage without owning properties.
Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast. Today, we are joined by Daanish Azim, who built a $60K/month Airbnb business without owning a single property.
