Lazaro Vento. They call him Laz. Confirmed for CREIC. November 6-7, 2026. Miami.

Before Airbnb had ten listings in the entire city of Miami, Laz was already stacking reservations.

He started selling Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, and Bugattis. Best year? $400K. Then he bet everything on a cigar lounge and lost $2.5 million. House gone. Savings gone.

All he had left was a real estate license and the audacity to knock on doors in Little Haiti when everyone else called it the ghetto.

He rented every house on the block. Put them all on Airbnb. Bought a tiny house for $1,500 off Facebook Marketplace and turned it into a destination. Built systems that became the regulatory blueprint for short-term rentals in the entire state of Florida.

Made $500K in two days selling mentorships. Highest ticket? $22,000. And unlike the gurus who never owned a single listing... Laz had receipts.

Last deal? Turned a $500K property into a $2M exit in seven months.
