Description

On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Rashmi Bhat. Rashmi shares how she went from opening a restaurant at 21 to falling in love with Airbnbs, quickly building a multi‑market STR portfolio and scaling management in the Texas Hill Country to dozens of units through systems and a VA team. She and Avery dig into why the Hill Country still has room for standout properties—and the realities (like taxes) investors should underwrite—plus how keeping a W‑2 can be a strategic “fortress” while you grow cash‑flowing assets.
