Wautara and Denise Wright say they got involved by investing in a turnkey Airbnb property, but after watching our I-TEAM investigation Thursday night, they fear they may have lost nearly $15,000.

“I have multiple myeloma cancer, and my entire spine is cracked. I couldn’t do the things that I used to do, so we decided to invest,” Wautara Wright said. The couple said they were expecting monthly profits close to $2,000, but in six months, receipts show they only received about $1,200 in profits despite the fact that the Airbnb listing showed the property is booked until October 2025.“Devastated, because now I’m worrying about taking care of my grandkids and my wife, you know, providing my part of what I was supposed to,” Wautara Wright said. “I’ve never been one to take upon the system to take care of me.
