Uplevel: Make Money with Airbnb, Short-Term Rentals, Real Estate Investing, Passive Income Strategies

Are you looking for a long-term revenue stream that could also give you a way to maximize your returns when you sell it one day? This is yet another reason why I love the STR market and why I think you'll love today's episode. Today, I interview Charles Sunnucks, a professional investor and former fund manager who has a knack for simplifying the complicated world of company (or in this case) property valuation. Some of my favorite takeaways of our conversation are: 1. Look at the exit strategy from the get-go. 2. How exactly you could sell your short-term rental for MUCH more than it would be worth retail simply by using this one valuation technique. 3. If you're looking to invest abroad, he shares the 3 things you MUST know before you even look at one property.

The question I ask in today's episode could change your financial future... I know that's a BOLD statement but I believe it to be a true one. When we focus our actions down to those that have a ripple effect, that is an effect that reaches much further than the effort we put in, this is when we see a REAL transformation to our financial (and any other) situation.  Are you looking to achieve financial independence? Do you want to spend more time with the people you love doing the things you love? Are you looking to live a powerful legacy (both financial and otherwise) for your children?  It's all about the ripple effect actions... And that's what we're talking about in today's episode. So, after you listen, I encourage you to think about this question... What are you doing today that's bringing a lasting ripple effect in your life? It's not always about the "big rock" moments... It's often times about the small pebbles you keep tossing out that really lead to some amazing ripples. Looking to make a ripple effect and move toward financial independence today? If short-term rentals are right for you, I've got you covered. In The 6-Figure Vacation Rental Roadmap: How to Find, Furnish, and Fill a Profitable Short-Term Rental, I break it all down for you, step by step. You're not alone in this. And you're probably much closer to financial independence than you think. Ready? Let's do this. Visit ginnytownsend.com/rental to get started today! Thanks for joining me.

In the episode I reference, Chuck Rhodes, the antagonist or protagonist (depending on your view) shares what he learned while out hunting wolves... the only trap that will catch us all is TIME. And the way I see it, he's right. Time will pass either way. Whether we act or whether we sit and binge the next big thing on Netflix. So, take a listen and LMK what you think.
