Your 1st Air Bnb Property...   ...here is what I would be looking for when making a purchase The 1st thing is don't over think it  Keep it fun and be passionate about creating amazing experiences for your guests and whatever you do - beware of  misleading "news headlines" a recent article from a "major new site" said that investors were selling out they mentioned that 11% of sales in 2024 were investor sales the highest total in many, many years what they fail to mention is that different investors bought them so does that mean that investors actually bought in at the highest rate in years so now that we have all of that out of the way... one of the key things to keep in mind with short term rentals is convenience you will compete with hotels and other short term rentals excellent photos and descriptions in your marketing are critical does the property have easy access to things that are location specific? ample parking - wifi - and evertyhing that the renter will need for an amazing stay and here is a huge one - where a lot of 1st timers get it wrong is your list of checkout rules so long that you scare away renters as far as selecting the right property do the research to be sure that there is not a restriction against you renting it short term independently verify that the property qualifies and know that its very likely that some licensing and/or registration will be required review the rental history of the property and look for red flags are there large gaps between rentals is the property highly seasonal for travel is there an over supply of rentals in the area check the availability calendars of competing rentals if you are considering a condo then it is paramount to know about special assessments and how future building maintenace will be scheduled and how much it will cost you whether you specialize in beach locations or cabins in the mountains you would be well served to provide local information for your guests to explore the area, and seek adventures be a great host and leave them a few bottles of water and make sure the ice maker is working everything that your property doesn't provide for them is a negative review waiting to happen and decreases the chance of them being a repeat guest we take it real deep in today's podcast  this is one that you will want to save  

Five rental properties are all you need to change your life. This income alone could cover all your bills, allowing your entire paycheck to go toward investing as you're fast-tracked to financial freedom and early retirement. Even if you've got a demanding job with long hours and limited free time, investing in real estate is STILL the right move. Today's guest was able to utilize her (very limited) downtime to build a rental portfolio of six units, all while managing her hectic day job. Now, she's in a great position to retire early and is even eyeing her dream retirement house as we speak. Jessica Cruel is editor-in-chief at Allure & SELF, but before the big title, she was living in expensive Newark, New Jersey, looking to invest in real estate while making less than six figures a year. After watching her ex-boyfriend successfully do a real estate deal, she thought, “If he can do it, I can do it better.” So, she bought a rental with multiple units but a sizable renovation checklist. It took her two years to turn it around, but now, she's cashing the checks that will fund her early retirement. Six years later, Jessica has a six-unit portfolio, with enough income to cover her bills and a hunger to build her small, slow-but-steady, financial freedom-enabling real estate portfolio. If she can do it in her pricey area, why can't you?  In This Episode We Cover The single best strategy for starting in real estate (it will save you a TON) Why you DON'T need a huge real estate portfolio to retire early  How to invest in real estate even with a demanding day job How NOT to get your AC unit stolen while you're away (seriously)  Buy your retirement home now!

Have you ever wondered how some firefighters manage to retire early while others work overtime until their last day? In this eye-opening episode, we're joined by Will Pritchett, a battalion chief who retired from the San Antonio Fire Department at just 43 years old after building a portfolio of 40 rental properties.Will shares his 14-year journey from converting his bachelor pad into his first rental to creating a real estate empire that provided the financial freedom to leave the fire service on his own terms. What makes Will's story particularly valuable is how he systematically redirected overtime pay into real estate investments, creating a snowball effect that accelerated his path to financial independence.The conversation dives deep into practical strategies that any first responder can implement, from using private lending at favorable rates to evaluating rental properties in today's challenging market. Will explains his evolution from focusing purely on cash flow to understanding the wealth-building power of equity, and how he's adapted his investment approach during periods of high interest rates.Perhaps most valuable is Will's candid discussion about overcoming the naysayers in the firehouse who warned against real estate investing. As he puts it, "It's always a bad time to buy real estate, but buy it anyway." This perspective reflects the reality that waiting for perfect market conditions means missing opportunities that compound over time.Whether you're a firefighter just starting your career or approaching retirement, this conversation offers actionable insights on breaking the overtime dependency cycle and building wealth through real estate.

One messy, imperfect, low-cash-flow rental property could change your life forever, but maybe not in the way you'd think. No one retires off ONE property, but that first property can provide the education, mindset, and momentum to fuel your second, third, and fourth deals. Today, we're breaking down our first real estate deals—the ups, the downs, and mistakes we made that YOU should avoid!   Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! In this episode, we're winding back the clock and sharing how we got started in real estate. While Ashley invested in her own backyard and found a partner to help fund the deal, Tony invested out of state and managed renovations remotely. You'll hear how we stabilized the properties, rented them out, and, eventually, sold them for a big payday!   Whether you're new to the world of real estate investing or struggling to take action, this episode has something for you. We'll share why finding your first deal is more important than finding the “perfect” deal, how to use real estate partnerships to fast-track your investing journey, and what we'd do differently if we were starting over today! In This Episode We Cover How Ashley and Tony found and funded their first real estate deals The secret to managing a successful renovation project from afar Creative ways to buy your first rental property with little money out of pocket How to use the power of partnerships to scale your real estate portfolio Why we ended up selling our first properties (and how much we made!)

I used to think of my car as just a tool to get from point A to point B. But after this conversation, I can't help but see it as something else entirely, a powerful data collection device that knows far more about me than I realized. From where I go and who I text to how I drive and even what's on my phone, today's vehicles are gathering a staggering amount of personal information. In this episode, I talk with Andrea Amico, the founder of Privacy4Cars. Andrea is one of the leading voices in automotive data privacy and someone who's spent years uncovering the hidden ways cars collect, store, and share our information. He breaks down how connected cars work, what's actually being tracked, and why it matters not just for your privacy, but for your safety and finances too. We get into everything from rental car risks and data left behind when you sell a car, to how automakers and third parties might be profiting off your data without your knowledge. If you've ever paired your phone with a vehicle or assumed your texts disappear when you disconnect, this episode is going to change the way you think about driving and how to take back control. Show Notes: [01:28] Andrea started Privacy4Cars because cars collect a lot of data. There were zero protections for privacy and security. He's dedicated to turning your car into a more private space and giving you more choice, understanding, and control. [02:25] We talk about when cars started collecting data. OnStar started about 25 years ago. Things really began to evolve when Bluetooth and navigation became common. [03:12] Things really exploded with modern telematics which is like putting a cell phone inside your car that calls home all the time. The average car collects around 25 GB of data per day. [04:08] We talk about the type of data that is collected by cars from GPS to having your phone collected and the car even knowing your weight. [05:26] The sensors in your car know exactly how you drive. [06:46] Informed consumers are better off. These data collecting policies are usually hidden in the car manufacturers privacy policies. [08:46] You can find your car's privacy policy at Vehicle Privacy Report. [10:21] The goal is to make the car manufacturer's behavior visible to consumers, because that's the way to drive better company behavior. [11:26] When you rent a car and when you sell a car, your car is like a giant unencrypted hard drive that contains your data. [12:06] We should wipe the data in our cars the same way we wipe the data in our phones when we replace them. [13:05] You can find a tool to help remove data from your car at Privacy4Cars.

With a career that spans architecture, private development, and large institutional platforms like Tricon Residential, Brendan brings a nuanced perspective on what it takes to make rental projects work in today's environment.We dive into the differences between condo and rental development models, the critical importance of systems and incentives, and why execution—rather than entitlement—has become the main driver of value.

This investor is making $100,000 per year with small, affordable, repeatable rental properties. He started investing years ago but recently bought another home-run rental for just $87,000, which will continue to boost his passive income. His slow, steady “tortoise” approach is one that anyone (especially beginners) can use in 2025 to build wealth and massive passive income through rental property investing. How do you do it? He's sharing his blueprint. Nathan Nicholson woke up one day in his 30s to realize that his bank account had only $32,000 in it. While by no means is $32,000 a small sum, as a top producer in the mortgage business, he expected to have much more—something needed to change. After watching clients close (and make it rich) on rentals, he decided to give it a shot. But instead of going for the biggest house his money could buy, he opted for a small, affordable property where less could go wrong. It was a good move and one worth repeating. Fast forward over a decade later, Nathan has 22 properties, 10 of which are paid off, with six-figure cash flow coming in every year. He scaled smart (and safely) using his “tortoise approach” to investing—an approach you can use, too! In This Episode We Cover Why buying small (less than 1,000 square feet!) rentals is a smart move for beginners  Taking the “tortoise approach” to wealth so you safely get to early retirement  Cashing out your 401(k) for rentals? Why Nathan says it's worth it  One quick calculation (that beats the 1% rule) every investor should use  Why Nathan is buying even more as price cuts hit many major housing markets  And So Much More!

Join Jen Josey in this episode of REIGN, the Real Estate Investor Growth Network, as she interviews Simone Lesko, a talented Australian entrepreneur who has made significant strides in real estate. Simone shares her captivating journey from Australia to the US, the intricacies of her real estate projects, and valuable insights into the industry. Discover her latest project, the Boomerang Ranch, where she transformed a mid-century modern property into a highly profitable investment. Learn about effective communication as a landlord, strategic project management, and innovative design choices that make a difference. Stick around for an engaging discussion on what makes Simone a true badass in the real estate world.   00:00 Introduction to REIGN with Jen Josey 01:07 Today's Topic: Mastering Communication as a Landlord 03:10 Guest Introduction: Simone Lesko's Journey 04:48 Simone's Personal Story: From Australia to the US 08:45 Real Estate Ventures: From Healthcare to Rentals 11:19 Boomerang Ranch: A Unique Property 17:20 Renovation Insights and Challenges 25:00 Financing and Project Timeline 28:21 Listing and Final Thoughts 30:30 Choosing the Right Real Estate Agency 32:06 Boomerang Ranch: Listing and Offers 34:43 Breaking Down the Final Numbers 39:31 Design Features and Mood Boards 46:25 Lessons Learned and Future Goals 48:47 Simone Lesko's Badass Journey   Born and raised in Australia, Simone Lesko is an entrepreneur with a global perspective and a passion for reimagining homes. She earned her bachelor's degree in science from the University of Queensland—one of the world's top-ranked universities—before launching her career in banking and finance at one of Australia's leading financial institutions. Her life took a surprising turn in 2010 while vacationing in San Diego, where she met her now-husband crossing the street. One year later, they were married. Over the next few years, they lived in San Diego, Cleveland (her husband's hometown), and Atlanta, welcoming their first two children along the way. It was during her first stint in Cleveland that Simone noticed something striking about the U.S. housing market—unlike in Australia, cash-flowing rental properties were a real opportunity here. That insight led to their first real estate purchase in 2012: a duplex where they lived on one side and rented out the other, letting the tenant cover their mortgage and expenses. Simone made herself a promise: if they ever moved back to Cleveland, she'd dive into real estate full time. Fast forward to 2016, when the family relocated to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. There, Simone started a healthcare business that quickly took off, growing to nearly $5 million in annual revenue in just four years. Her husband joined the venture, and in the midst of scaling the company, they welcomed their third child. In 2021, they sold the business and returned to Cleveland. Simone kept her promise. In just over three years, she's completed seven full renovations and manages a growing portfolio of rental properties under her company, Moza Homes. Her most recent project, Boomerang Ranch, turned a tired mid-century home in Moreland Hills into a high-design showcase that went under contract shortly after listing. Through Moza Homes, Simone wears many hats—owner, general contractor, licensed real estate agent, and designer. Her approach is hands-on and highly intentional. “Moza Homes was born from the idea that real estate investment could be both artistic and profitable,” she says. With a strategy focused on uncovering hidden potential in prime neighborhoods, Simone is building something special—one beautifully reimagined home at a time.   “There's a story in every home,” Simone says. “My job is to reveal it.”   Social Media Links: (17) Facebook Instagram (25) SIMONE LESKO | LinkedIn   Website: Home | Moza Homes   To learn more about Jen Josey, visit www.TheRealJenJosey.com To join REIGN, visit www.REIGNmastermind.com Stuff Jen Josey Loves: https://www.reignmastermind.com/resources Buy Jen Josey's Book: From Beginner to Badass: https://a.co/d/bstKlby

It doesn't take long to replace your income through rental property investing. Just ask Miller McSwain, who quit his job two and a half years after buying his first rental property! But it wasn't a standard rental with just one tenant and one income stream that got him there. Instead, a new “mega cash flow” strategy got him to his goal in record time. It's not short-term rentals, mid-term rentals, or house flipping, but something that might work even better. Miller was a nuclear rocket scientist by day (yes, seriously) and a house hacker by night. He bought a property just after graduation, using his job offer as proof of income to the bank. He and his fiancée (now wife) lived in the basement while renting out the rooms on the top floors. He was saving tons on rent and living for almost free. So, why couldn't he do this on a bigger scale? He could, and he did. This “co-living” strategy became Miller's new obsession. Now, he's got six rental properties with over 40 tenants, making thousands of dollars a month from each property in pure cash flow. He's sharing exactly how to do it and does so in-depth in his new book, Co-Living Cash Flow, so you can quit your job, or at least replace some, or all, of your income with the fewest properties possible.  In This Episode We Cover Miller's “mega cash flow” strategy that produces way more passive income than regular rentals Exactly what to look for in the perfect “co-living” property for happy tenants (and neighbors) The “community” events Miller throws at his properties that lead to lower vacancy  Discounting security deposits? The method behind Miller's genius tenant screening tactic  How to remotely manage co-living rentals yourself (no need to pay a manager!) And So Much More!

Many new investors and business owners are under the misconception that abundant cash flow is easily attainable. The episode highlights the reality that building cash flow takes time and strategic planning, often requiring substantial operational capital.Real estate can be a powerful tool for wealth creation through various avenues like appreciation and tax benefits, rather than just cash flow. The importance of building equity over time is emphasized as a crucial component of wealth building.Real estate should be viewed as a long-term investment strategy rather than a quick path to financial freedom. Aspiring real estate investors should have a stable income before heavily investing in real estate.Small business owners often face cash constraints and need significant operational capital to maintain and grow their businesses, which can delay personal cash flow.00:01 - Why Cashflow Isn't Everything08:53 - Building Wealth Through Real Estate Investing17:08 - The Challenge of Building Cash Flow21:07 - Lessons from Business and Taxes29:58 - Final Thoughts on Cashflow and Wealth About Jimmy VreelandJimmy graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, spent 5 years as an Army Ranger, and deployed three times twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan.

Rentals can give you much more than just bigger pockets. They can buy you time, flexibility, and the freedom to design an adventurous and fulfilling life. Just ask today's guest, who built a simple real estate portfolio that runs itself—creating space for midday hikes, living abroad, and passion projects. In this episode, he'll show YOU how to slow down and do the same!   Today, Chad Carson, investor and author of The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor returns to the show to share how real estate investing gave him much more than money. Chad has been investing for decades, but now, he's making a major shift. Rather than accumulating more rental properties, he's paying off the ones he already owns. Instead of putting in 80-hour workweeks, he's traveling, taking mini-retirements, and prioritizing his life goals. And the best part? Some weeks, he spends as little as two hours on his portfolio!   Want to copy Chad's success? In this episode, he'll show you how to trade the rat race—whether that means long hours at your nine-to-five or the relentless grind of scaling your investments—for time freedom, a flexible portfolio, and a real estate business that works for you. In This Episode We Cover How Chad optimized his real estate portfolio for a two-hour workweek Why real estate's real return isn't money—but time, freedom, and flexibility How to use real estate investing to build a fulfilling life (not just a big portfolio!)

After a huge wake-up call, today's guest realized he needed to take control of his financial future as soon as possible.

Want to retire early? You don't need millions of dollars in stocks, retirement accounts, or cash to do it. You might just need a handful of rental properties. Today's guest, Paul Novak, only started investing four years ago in 2021, but he's already nearly at his early retirement goal through rental property investing. He may only need one or two more rentals to fully retire in his mid-40s. Want to trim twenty years off of your working career? Follow Paul's plan! After realizing that stock investing could only get him to retirement so fast, Paul knew he needed a better path to early retirement. He thought real estate could be the answer. The problem? This was 2021, where every house was going over asking and competition was steep. He finally got a deal done after previous ones fell through and found he was already making 10 times more money than his stocks were giving him. It became a no-brainer to repeat the strategy. Fast forward to 2025, Paul has five rentals, with seven units in total, and he's nearly at his cash flow goal to retire from his job. He did it all through some very creative rental financing. One more rental could unlock the holy grail: early retirement, time freedom, and plenty of passive income. And this is just four years into his investing journey!  In This Episode We Cover How to retire early in just ten years with boring, repeatable rental deals  401(k) loans, HELOCs (home equity lines of credit), and other ways to fund your rentals Why interest rates don't matter as much as you think they do  How to run your numbers on rentals so you're ALWAYS making money  Why you don't need a dozen or more rentals to reach financial freedom  And So Much More!
