About this listen
Ready to make a bundle in the vacation spot you love? Whether you own a short-term rental or you’re thinking about buying one, you need the expert secrets for success found within the chapters of Profits in Paradise.
This book cuts a path through the maze of questions and costly errors so common for many vacation rental investors.
The financial stakes could hardly be higher. “Short-Term Rentals Prove to Be Investment Gold,” according to Realtor Magazine.
Author Paul Aker reveals key investing and operational secrets that seasoned short-term rental operators would rather you did not know. As a Realtor, (inactive) lawyer, investor, association president and award-winning investigative journalist, Aker knows the obstacles, issues and solutions that will help you.
In this book you will discover:·
- What the passive income tradeoff is - and whether it makes sense for you
- How to size up the right property to optimize returns
- The inside scoop on when to bargain hunt and when to pay top dollar
- How to gain the confidence to pull the trigger and buy
- How to operate a vacation rental using listing platforms, such as Airbnb and Vrbo
- How to diversify your marketing channels to maximize profits
- How to spot hidden issues before they cost you a bundle
- How to find the right Realtor for this type of transaction
Why bother learning all of this? Not just because it can help put dollars in your bank account, but because it will keep you from the frustrating and costly surprises that less prepared investor face.
Smart buying combined with quality management and a sterling online reputation turns these properties into profit mills that churn out bundles of cash.
Plus, these properties historically appreciate. A single-family home appreciated by 39 percent over a 10-year period between1 989 and 2019 on average, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Story5 out of 5 stars 24
In my youth, I never thought I could own any property, let alone more than one. When I started my real estate business, I had no idea what to do or where to begin. I didn’t even know there were so many paths to consider. I wish I had someone guided me through the beginning stages of learning how to get into real estate. Years later, I’m happy to provide the shortcuts I wish I had known to get started. Now I’m making the income I never thought I could, and I’m now financially free to work when and how I want. The only regret I’ve ever had is wishing I had started sooner.

From the outside, being a landlord may look like an easy job. Once a month you greet your tenants, collect rent from them, and leave. Being a landlord is not as simple as it seems. Just like tenants have their share of responsibilities, so do you as their landlord and property manager. For first-time landlords, all of this can be very overwhelming.

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.
