IT to Investment: Rob Gibbs' Remote Strategy for Short-Term Rental Freedom

In this episode of The Built for This Podcast, hosts Alissa Bickar and Andrea Lane chat with Rob Gibbs, an IT professional-turned-investor based in Austin, Texas. Rob shares his journey from purchasing his first property sight unseen to building a sustainable portfolio of short, mid, and long-term rentals—all while working full-time and managing his properties remotely.

You’ll hear how Rob leverages his background in IT to streamline his real estate business, how he uses tech tools and team-building to operate rentals from afar, and why he believes freedom doesn’t require dozens of units. His real-life numbers and approach are honest, refreshing, and inspiring.
