our story
we can help
As long-term rental owners, we know that rental property has the potential for high passive income. In 2019, The Garcia Collective saw an opportunity to earn even higher passive income with short-term rentals on Airbnb.
Our first step to becoming Airbnb hosts included lots of research. We spoke to experienced Atlanta Airbnb hosts and ran the financial numbers. Although the upfront investment was high, we projected that we could have a return on the investment within a few months.
Three years later and many lessons learned, we are proud owners of four Atlanta Airbnbs. Admittedly, managing short-term rentals can be challenging. Still, we love the option to work remotely and earn residual income toward financial freedom.
Our experience in short-term rentals provides unique insight and rare expertise to our clients. We share our story to help others achieve financial freedom with real estate investments.

Andy led his first renovation project in 2016 while representing his dad in purchasing a rental property in the City of Hapeville. Andy observed an anomaly for renovated homes in the area. Despite being listed much higher, the renovated homes went under contract quickly, often selling for the full asking price or higher.
Andy's dad was skeptical but ultimately trusted Andy's intuition for a 'fixer-upper' investment property. The first house flip proved to be a great learning lesson. Andy discovered he had a passion for interior design and a talent for transforming abandoned homes into something beautiful. Unfortunately, Andy also learned to plan for the unexpected. The home expenses were 30% higher than budgeted, and renovations took one month longer than anticipated.
To recover from the unplanned expenses, Andy listed the home higher than other comparables in the community. So naturally, Andy was anxious it would not sell. Still, to his surprise, the house received multiple offers in the first weekend.
Over the last six years, Andy and The Garcia Collective have proudly renovated over 20 homes in 7 different cities. Andy's experience in construction jobs provides invaluable expertise to clients interested in 'fixer-uppers' or home flip investments.
