Hey, it’s Brittany! In this episode of The Airbnb Roadmap, I sit down with Ashley Lang—a powerhouse real estate investor with a diverse and thriving portfolio. Ashley shares how she stumbled into short-term rentals by accident and ended up scaling to over 30 furnished rentals, most of which are now midterm stays. We talk about the transition from vacation to midterm rentals, how she built a full team to support her, and the mindset shifts that helped her (and her husband) take the leap into real estate full time.

Whether you’re a first-time investor or dreaming of scaling your portfolio while working less, this episode is packed with lessons from someone who’s built it step-by-step—and done it with intention.

Key Takeaways from My Conversation with Ashley Lang

Getting Started by Accident Can Be a Good Thing Ashley’s first Airbnb was meant to be a weekend getaway—but high demand flipped the script.

Good Design = Bookings Even back in 2018, Ashley’s thoughtfully designed space stood out and stayed booked. Her advice? Don’t underestimate the value of great aesthetics and guest-ready amenities.

Midterm Rentals Are a Hidden Gem After starting with short-term rentals, Ashley found her groove in midterm stays—less wear and tear, lower management needs, and consistent income.

Scaling Requires Systems (and People) Ashley shares how she gradually built a “mini army” of VAs, assistants, revenue managers, and marketers to take tasks off her plate so she could grow the business.

Diverse Portfolios Provide Peace of Mind Ashley’s mix of long-term, midterm, short-term rentals—and flips—gave her stability and options during market shifts.

Mindset is Everything One of Ashley’s top tips? Surround yourself with people doing what you want to do—and work on your mindset like it’s your job.

Manifestation Isn’t Woo-Woo—It Works We talk about the power of believing in your goals, visualizing success, and stepping into the version of yourself who already has what you want.
