Episode 16 - From Burnout to Financial Freedom: Midterm Rental Strategy with Vivian Yip
In this soul-baring episode of Quest for Keys, Hoan and Alvin sit down with Vivian Yip—former Apple exec turned midterm rental queen—to unpack the burnout that cost her her hair, and the bold pivot that gave her life back. Vivian shares how working 18-hour days during the iPhone 12 launch left her feeling like a failure in every role: employee, mother, wife. When she looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize herself, it sparked a radical change. She walks us through how a chance encounter at an airport flipped the switch in her mind, why short-term rentals weren’t cutting it, and how midterm rentals became her strategy to replace a six-figure salary with semi-passive income. If you’re feeling stuck in the corporate hamster wheel, or wondering how to actually build real time freedom through real estate, Vivian's story will hit you like a wake-up call.
