Over two decades, he’s garnered a wealth of practical tools, resources, and insider tricks. Now, Steven is putting all his cards on the table, so you can start bringing your big visions to life and turning them into money-makers. Whether it’s short-term rental strategies or a bookkeeping guide for beginners, Steven’s books will give you everything you need to thrive in a competitive marketplace. Today, Steven lives in Manhattan with his wife, three kids, and their chocolate labradors. He was one of the earliest investors and hosts on Airbnb, and these days, he manages over 20 rental properties across the United States – with his eye on a few more. Above all, these wise words by Peter Drucker have guided his life and career: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
