Using Mid‑Term Rentals to Leave a Commercial‑Lending W‑2 Job And Scaling A Mid Term Rental Management Company with Angela Healy 🏦🏡

Angela Healy grew up helping her parents manage a pair of rentals that paid for four college tuitions—proof that real estate builds real security. After college she joined a bank as a commercial lender and used her savings to buy a small condo in San Francisco. Six months later rising costs left her “house‑poor,” so she furnished the unit and leased it to a corporation on a month‑to‑month basis—one rent check that covered all expenses and produced surplus cash. In 2004 that success gave her the confidence to leave banking, move to Denver, CO, and join Avenue West full‑time; she purchased the company in 2010 and has since expanded it to 18 locations serving 500 + markets. 🚀
