35. Crushing it with Airbnb Arbitrage with Shiv Gettu

CRUSHING IT IN REAL ESTATE

Welcome to episode 35 of the Crushing it in Real Estate Podcast! This week we have Shiv Gettu, a real estate investor specializing with Airbnb Arbitrage! Shiv: Shiv Gettu started his Real estate journey in 2018 after recently graduating from USC. He wanted to figure out a way to earn more on the side and not have to rely solely on a single source of income. After reading an article on Airbnb arbitrage, Shiv decided to narrow down on his real estate niche and pursue a short-term rental business with his now business partner Kendrick Bradley. They got their first Airbnb unit in December 2018, and by July 2019 they had 15+ properties they were managing while working full-time jobs. In August of 2019, they decided to raise venture capital to grow their business and take it full time. After successfully raising a round of funding, they quit their jobs to solely pursue their business. Astro is now a 10+ member team and is in 13+ cities across the country. Along with short-term rental property management, Astro is looking to pioneer a new way of investing in apartment syndication by specializing in furnished housing. Their advisement team collectively brings over 50+ years of real estate experience, $300M+ assets under management, and 1000+ units. Astro is pioneering a new way of staying for its guests and generating a meaningful return for their investors.
