Why Most Airbnb Hosts Are Failing—Avery Carl Breaks Down the Coming Crash

In this episode of Life With Mikey, Avery Carl—real estate investor, author, and founder of The Short Term Shop—breaks down how she scaled from one short-term rental to over 250 doors and built an investment machine from scratch.

Avery shares her journey from the music industry to real estate domination, the mistakes new investors make, why she doesn’t care about vanity metrics, and how she’s helping others buy their freedom through STRs. Whether you’re an agent, investor, or just curious how someone flips the script on life, this episode is packed with raw insights, smart strategy, and no-BS takes.


🔑 Topics include:

  • How Avery got her first short-term rental without ever staying in one
  • What she learned from managing 250+ doors
  • The one metric she says is totally useless for investors
  • Scaling a business while staying grounded
  • Advice for moms, creatives, and people in non-traditional careers
