Listen to Episode 39:
We are all different: For some of us, it can be more than evident what our biggest passion is. Some may discover it at kids, and others might take a bit longer… but in between, there can be many, many places where we can seek for that sparkle missing in our lives. Our guest for today has been everywhere: he was a TV sports anchor, ran sports videography and recruiting business, got into the health and wellness world, fundraised for K-12, and more. But without knowing, Kyle Stanley found himself investing in real estate, here's why: he has been using Airbnb as a vehicle to pay for his mortgage for years.
If you think sales is a horrible thing and still want to hack your income, you better change your mindset right now. Kyle Stanley has been house hacking through Airbnb since 2014, using it to rent our private rooms inside his house. He is sure renting a room can significantly help you get some extra cash. Six months later, Kyle’s mindset changed and he realized he didn’t even have to own the real estate, but he could rent it out without owning it.
In this episode, we chat with Kyle about his background and why everyone is an innate salesperson, his big income hacking secret and how a mindset shift improved his real estate game. Plus, all about Airbnb, how to become an expert in the application, automate your Airbnb in a month and stay on top as a Super Host forever. Stay with us as Kyle shares his secret shopping list and furnishing budget, how to prepare everything for that very first Airbnb guest, and why that move can change your life forever.
