I'm Shawn Rider, a former high school teacher who had a modest income... and today I've transformed my life by building a $1.65 million luxury short-term rental (STR) portfolio in under 18 months.... earning $257,000 in revenue at ~20% margins. At 25, I juggled teaching and running a gym business with no vacations and a basic lifestyle.
Now at 35, I've achieved financial freedom with over $50,000 monthly real estate income, a ~$5.5 million real estate portfolio, and most importantly a balanced life focusing on quality time with my wife and kids.
I run a free Facebook community for STR investing, where we help busy entrepreneurs and professionals leverage STRs and Airbnb's market for high returns and freedom from the 9-5 grind.
Because they didn't learn the RIGHT WAY to operate
They just wanted the tax benefits and a weekend getaway...
That MIGHT have worked in 2020.... but not anymore
...and those folks exiting the business?
They will sell their turnkey AirBnBs....
and that just means opportunity for those who are ready to treat this like a REAL BUSINESS, and not just a Hobby.
In this $27 Video Lesson Library, I'm laying out EVERYTHING a brand new Short-Term Rental Investor NEEDS to know (or end up a statistic!)
