Plus, with the amount of STRs that are in the market today, how do you stand out in the field? Adam Schroeder speaks with Hersh Rai and Clif Luber from Serenity Stays about how they evaluate short term rental markets, make sure they’re not entering a market that’s too saturated, ensure they’re not getting into an area about to crack down on STRs with legislation, and more. -------------------------------------------------------- Website - www.RentToRetirement.com YouTube - www.YouTube.com/RentToRetirement Current Hotlist Properties - www.RentToRetirement.com/Hotlist

The term “side hustle” has become commonplace in the last few years. Some can make you a few bucks here and there, while others can potentially significantly increase your income.

Adam Schroeder and Zach Lemaster talk with Sam Haack about the creative ways he’s been increasing his income over the last few years, and how other people can emulate what he’s doing.

Achieving financial independence is something everyone strives for. There are many paths, but eventually most people’s goal is to get out of the rat race and do what they love doing with their time.  Chris Larsen is no exception. After achieving great success in business he took a new path to success. Now he’s the proud owner of an investment most people don’t even consider: car washes. This little considered investment is something he’s able to get into without competing with the major Wall Street money and create a niche for himself that generates substantial (relatively) passive income. Zach Lemaster and Adam Schroeder talk with Chris about his journey, how investing in car washes work, and how you actually run due diligence on an investment like this. www.NextLevelIncome.com www.HurricaneWash.com -------------------------------------------------------- Website - www.RentToRetirement.com YouTube - www.YouTube.com/RentToRetirement Current Hotlist Properties - www.RentToRetirement.com/Hotlist
