In this episode of Broker’s Blueprint, Nick and Martino sit down with Airbnb power host and realtor Drew Burton to unpack the real math behind short-term rentals. From Wildwood to Philly, Drew shares hard-won lessons on cash-on-cash returns, the hidden costs of “passive” income, and why your cleaners might just be your most important business partners.
They break down:
What a true 20% cash-on-cash return looks like—and why most self-managing owners fall short.
The operational headaches no one tells you about (and how management companies help you avoid them).
How to scale smart with systems, not stress—and the rookie mistakes to avoid when furnishing and setting up your first Airbnb.
Why unique stays and niche markets are the future of short-term rentals—and how investors can tap into them.
Whether you're looking to turn your second home into a cash machine or scale an Airbnb portfolio across multiple cities, this episode gives you real-world insights from someone who’s been through the mess—and come out profitable.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
