Don’t have enough funds for real estate deals? Today, there’s no excuse. Beyond strategies that allow you to invest in real estate with no money down, you can always start a profitable side hustle and put the earnings towards your next deal.

In this episode of the Real Estate Rookie podcast, we’re chatting with Ava Yuergens and Josh Janus—two young entrepreneurs who managed to launch their own profitable side hustles to help fund their first real estate deals. Shortly after Ava and her fiancé launched their very own couch-flipping side hustle, they were able to generate enough cash to invest in real estate. Josh was a student by day, so he needed a side hustle that he could work outside of school hours. After seeing the schedule flexibility that DoorDash provided, Josh started making food deliveries—often using multiple apps and two phones to maximize his earnings.

If you’ve ever wanted to start your own side hustle, this is the episode for you! You’ll learn how to launch your own successful side hustle from square one, sharpen your entrepreneurial skills, and generate more than enough income for you to put towards your first real estate deal. Finally, Ashley and Tony tie the bow on this showdown-style episode by evaluating these side hustles for upfront capital, earning potential, time commitment, and risk!
