What's up, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Action Academy podcast, Corporate America's

Least favorite podcast. I am your humble host and God Brian Lubin, helping you replace corporate

with cash flow. Today's guest is an absolute baller. Miss Avery Carl, founder and current CEO of

the short-term shop. It is a top nation-leading E-XP realty team that specializes in helping people

buy short-term rentals and vacation destinations. Her and her husband together have eight short-term

rentals, 75 apartment units, a bunch of single-family homes, a top real estate team, and a mortgage

company. They cash flow $2.5 million dollars per year, and a lot of that

is take home. And they are absolute ballers. So guys, they did not start from silver spoons in their

mouths. They didn't start with some crazy strategy. They started with $8,000 while working their

corporate jobs, being denied by an investment

company that was trying to teach them how to invest their money. They said, dude, you do not

have enough money. Get out of here. $8,000 isn't enough to invest with. They began investing in

real estate. They told them to shove it and became worth eight figures just a few short years later. So from $8,000 to

eight figures, they are worth well over $10 million in equity. And they are good friends.

They absolutely crush this podcast episode. In today's show, I talked to Avery about how she

sequentially built these businesses, from her real estate team,

to her mortgage company, to her short-term rentals. How did she pivot from there to her

multifamily units? How does she think about clarity and finding clarity within her asset classes?

What did she do when her apartment complex burned down? What's going on in today's short-term rental market?

And lastly, why is starting a short-term rental cleaning company quite possibly the worst

business idea ever?

Today's show is wonderful, guys.
