About James and Emily
James and Emily were just two regular people, working regular jobs, and living in a regular town when they found the financial independence movement. They went all in and focused on real estate buying their first property in 2017. Within two years they had 10 units and enough cash flow to leave their jobs. Now, they’re still two regular people, but they live an extraordinary life of travel and adventure while self-managing their small portfolio of long-term, short-term, and medium-term rentals.
What You’ll Learn
In this episode we talk about:
- Why they got started into Financial Independence
- How they got into short term rentals
- Tips for aspiring short term rentals
- Communication process with guests and what messages they send to guests
