Making $90K/year on a $300k Wealth-building SFR with Jeromy Adams

In this episode, Chris sits down with Smoky Mountains-based real estate investor and entrepreneur Jeromy Adams, who breaks down the wealth-building opportunities in short-term rentals (STRs). 

Jeromy shares how he went from owning a donut shop to building a thriving portfolio of self-managed vacation rentals in one of the most in-demand vacation markets in the U.S. He explains why many STR investors fail, the secrets to self-managing profitably, and how to spot underperforming properties that can become cash-flowing machines.
