The Fastest Way to Financial Freedom: The Rent by the Room Method to Make $1,000/month Extra CashFlow
Description
Sam and Rachel Wegert are the king and queen of co-living, with over 200 rooms currently rented to great tenants. Together, they’re proving that co-living isn’t just a fad - it’s a cash cow (and maybe even the future of affordable housing!)
But Sam and Rachel’s journey wasn’t all about making at least $1,000/month on every property. Sam grew up homeschooled on a small Virginia farm, later becoming a 15-year-old martial arts school owner. And Rachel navigated a challenging childhood.
In this episode, Sam and Rachel break down their proven system for transforming average homes into cash-flowing machines while maintaining well-functioning living spaces and keeping tenants happy.
Sam and Rachel also talk about:
- Their ideal tenants (and how they find them)
- How to overcome zoning hurdles and navigate tricky legal loopholes
- Why co-living could be the answer to America’s affordable housing challenges
- How they minimize tenant drama and foster community
- Strategies for boosting tenant retention
