Let's Do It!

Are you tired of feeling  ... 

👉 STUCK in a job that doesn't fulfill you?

👉 Like you're working more but GETTING NOWHERE financially?

👉 OVERWHELMED by the idea of investing, unsure where to start?

👉 You'll NEVER HAVE ENOUGH saved for your dreams?

👉 You're MISSING OUT on extra income opportunities?

👉 Investing in real estate is OUT OF REACH for you?

👉 Stuck in the SAME FINANCIAL CYCLE year after year?

👉 PARALYZED BY FEAR of making a bad investment?

👉 Like you're WAITING for the 'right time' to take action?

👉 There's NEVER ENOUGH TIME to plan for your financial future?

You're Not Alone. 

IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE STUCK ON THE SIDELINES,  overwhelmed by the idea of investing in short-term rentals — IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. It’s no secret most people are confused about where to start with real estate investing, especially when it feels like the deck is stacked against them.

 

If you want time and financial freedom, repeating the same costly mistakes of others isn’t the answer. Conventional investment strategies won’t lead you to early retirement, financial independence, or time freedom — not without draining your resources.

But here’s the truth...

 

With short-term rentals, the SOLUTION ISN'T letting real estate investors tell you where to invest OR throwing more money at fancy designers OR high-cost property managers.

 

IT'S ABOUT EMBRACING a smarter cost-conscious approach that focuses on maximizing profit through strategic decisions and DIY know-how.

 

Living the FREEDOM-FILLED LIFE you want means thinking, planning, and investing differently.

I know this because I’ve built my rental portfolio using these exact principles:

👉 INVESTING COST-CONSCIOUSLY while maximizing income.

👉 GROWING A PROFITABLE SHORT-TERM RENTAL BUSINESS without wasting money on unnecessary expenses.

👉 ENJOYING FINANCIAL STABILITY AND EXTRA INCOME without sacrificing my time and energy.

Let me be clear.

I’m NOT a real estate mogul with endless resources. I’ve got bills to pay, a family to support, and competing demands, just like you. That’s why I had to create a system that allows me to invest smartly without overspending.

I’ve documented my entire process, learned from years of experience. The result is a scalable, flexible system that shows you how to invest in short-term rentals smartly and profitably — while rejecting the “Analysis Paralysis Trap” that holds so many people back.

 

Because smart investing is the key difference between a life of freedom, wealth, and joy ... and one that's full of stress, missed opportunities, and financial frustration.

 

Yes, YOU CAN build a profitable short-term rental portfolio and enjoy the freedom you crave - without feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stretched too thin.

HEY, WE'RE BEN AND JULIE THOMAS!

 

In 2015, we started hosting our first Airbnb to earn additional income and live a life of adventure. Over the last ten years, we have learned which strategies maximize profit, and we can’t wait to teach you the do-it-yourself strategies we have employed across six properties in three states.

Everyone can be a guest-first-minded host. Some of us just need a little more help finding the ability to invest in and prepare a property to wow guests. Once you discover the strategies behind analyzing markets, selecting properties, and stocking, staging, and managing a property, you can unapologetically provide guests with the 5-star stay of their dreams.

We believe investing in vacation rental real estate has the power to impact your life in big ways, but it certainly comes with feelings of overwhelm when you don't have a strategy or systems in place. Through online education, we can help you enjoy a smooth ride to investing and hosting success.

Whether you're investing for the first time, recently purchased a rental in a blank state, or need to revamp a poorly performing rental, we look forward to taking this exhilarating journey together.
