    About Dr. Rachel Gainsbrugh

    Rachel was born in Haiti with a drive to make a difference and not take her parents’ sacrifices for granted.  She was raised in Miami, worked hard, became a doctor, and was left with over $500K in student loans.  

    So, she grinded hard to pay off her loans.  When she found AirBNB investing, it became a game-changer for her where she was able to make 15X on short-term real estate rentals over long-term rentals.

    Now, she’s a healthcare professional by day and a rental investor by night.  She’s the owner and manager of 18 luxury short-term rentals with a lucrative cash-flowing rental portfolio, mom, wife, and real estate coach that was recently featured on a Netflix TV show showcasing one of her luxury rentals.

    Rachel is passionate about helping professionals create a life they don’t need a vacation from through AirBNB investing.

    What You’ll Learn

    In this episode we talk about:

    • How growing up as an immigrant affected her financial literacy journey
    • Using the debt snowball method and making huge sacrifices in order to pay off debt
    • Dealing with naysayers when making huge financial changes
    • The first property investment that really scared Rachel
    • Accidentally over-pricing a rental that got booked before she could change it
    • FurnishedFinder and how getting booked by insurance companies works
    • What differentiates a luxury property from other properties
    • Where to begin with short-term and mid-term rentals
    • Rachel’s philosophy on investing in real estate as a side hustle
