Okay, you are listening to the Bootsley podcast. This is the podcast that helps host all over the

world, get the tools, the tactics, the trainings, and most importantly, have the confidence to go

out there and get more direct bookends. Today, we have a very special guest who is a short-term

rental host. She is a real estate investor who, along with her husband, established a highly

successful real estate firm called the short-term rental shop. She's a best-selling author of the

book called short-term rental long-term wealth, a book which I highly recommend you go and check

out. It's in my audible sort of favourites. She's the host of the Epic podcast series, the short-term

rental show, and overall, just one of the biggest influences in the short-term rental space.

I'm so excited. If you haven't already guessed it, we've got the amazing Avery Carlon with us

today, and she's sharing her vast experience on what you need to be considering when you invest

in a short-term rental. Welcome along, Avery. Thank you for joining me today.

Yeah, thank you so much for having me. Why don't we get started in the way we normally do,

which if you can just introduce yourself and share any facts that somebody may or may not know about

you? Sure. My name is Avery Carl. I'm a real estate investor. I have 245 doors. Eight of them are

short-term rentals. The way I look at short-term is as a cash flow turbocharger that has a place in

any real estate portfolio. For me, short-term rentals were my first investment, so five of my first

six investments were short terms. And because they cash flow so much heavier than traditional

long-term rentals, we were able to scale our portfolio much more quickly than if we just stuck

with traditional long-term. So I'm not one of those short-term rental influencers that is going

to say short-term rentals are the right and only way all the time. We have long-term multi-family,

long-term single-family. We've got a little bit of everything. So I think that short-terms

are definitely the path to get your cash flow where you need it to be, to grow your portfolio
