In this episode of BNB Financially Free, host Chantal Duame chats with newlyweds Hannah and Reid about their journey in real estate investing. The episode begins with an unexpected twist when a truck crashes into their living room in the middle of the night. This incident prompts them to move out and turn their property into a highly profitable short-term rental. Hannah takes a bold leap and transforms the property into a groovy themed getaway, which proves to be a tremendous success. By investing in the right design and creating a unique experience for their guests, they turn what was once a mediocre rental into a lucrative investment property. The couple shares that their annual cash flow has skyrocketed to $120k, far exceeding all projections they made on their starter home they purchased for under $600k. The episode also explores their journey from house hacking to renting out their property as a full-time STR. The couple initially approached house hacking with skepticism but quickly realized the financial benefits it offered. They created a private entrance from the kitchen to the basement, making it convenient for guests to access their space. They also discuss the benefits of hiring a great property manager. This conversation is casual, fun and super informative.
