Have you ever looked at your futon in your kitchen and thought, “Hey, I think I will rent that out to a stranger?” Believe it or not, our guest today, Avery Carl, has some friends who did exactly that. It gave her the idea to invest in short-term rentals as a stepping stone to building a more extensive real estate portfolio. Joe and Avery discuss having an income to support lending criteria, the pros and cons of contracting a property management business, and how she strategically invested in mature vacation rental markets to scale her portfolio.
Worried about scams? Today in our headline segment, Joe and OG discuss a piece about a former car salesman who allegedly got caught in an elaborate scam buying back leased cars. Also, they discuss a Netflix documentary about the Tinder Swindler and how he thinks his scam was a “successful business.” We throw out the Haven Life line to Amanda and congratulate her on paying off her debt.
And, of course, we will enlighten your day with Doug’s famous trivia.
Enjoy!
