Today we are going to talk about a hot topic, and that is investing in tiny homes for short term rentals. My guest is Nashville investor, Cindy Maxson. Cindy has a wealth of experience when it comes to real estate investing. She has completed over a dozen flips and two new construction projects. Cindy also got her real estate license within the past year.
What she discovered along the way was that she wasn’t a fan of long term rentals. However, she did discover her passion for short term rentals after converting a vacant, run-down boarding house into her first Airbnb on the second floor of what would become her personal residence. Cindy’s most recent project is investing in a tiny home for a short term rental.

About Cindy
Cindy started as an investor 10 years ago by purchasing five foreclosure homes and renting them out. She has completed over a dozen flips and two new construction projects. In 2016 she purchased a vacant, run-down boarding house in Nashville. They fully gutted it, turning it into their personal home while building out the second story as a short term vacation rental called Chateau on Monroe where they hosted over 100 events prior to Covid-19. Cindy is also a licensed Realtor and she has purchased her first tiny home in the mountains as her newest rental.
She has seven adult children and two grandchildren. Building a solid business in real estate as an investor agent along with building a business legacy for her children is her passion.

Is the extra work time not more “expensive” then the extra profit?
