- Selma Hepp renovated a converted garage in her Burbank backyard and now rents it on Airbnb.
- The project was much more complicated to renovate than Hepp bargained for.
- But now she earns about $3,000 monthly in rental income — more than her $2,700 monthly mortgage.
When Selma Hepp decided to transform the former garage in her backyard into a suitable home for her parents in late 2019, she didn't think it would be too hard.
