Starting a real estate business is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom, replace your W2 income, and leave your nine-to-five. Why? Because you don’t need a ton of money OR a rental property to get started. Today’s guest built a million-dollar business with just $150, and in this episode, she provides the blueprint for you to do the same!
Brittany Hailey and her husband were living in an expensive market and working low-paying jobs when they were introduced to short-term rentals. They eagerly bought a house and turned their mother-in-law suite into an Airbnb, and right off the bat, this tiny rental skyrocketed to the top of the listings and covered 100% of their monthly mortgage payment. With proof of concept, Brittany decided to launch her own management side hustle with just $150. Little did she know that this fledgling business would soon allow her to quit her W2 job and bring in over $1,000,000 in annual revenue!
Ready to launch your own profitable real estate business from scratch, just like Brittany did? Tune in as she shows you how to start a vacation rental management company with little to no money and scale it into a wealth-building machine. Along the way, you’ll learn which services to offer, how to compete with national brands, and how to keep homeowners and guests happy!
