Case Study: Mary & Lilah Nieuwland

In this episode, I am with our student, Mary Nieuwland, and her daughter Lilah. They are a mother and daughter who have worked together for 4 years renovating homes to either Airbnb or sell for profit. They manage 4 short term rentals, have renovated 5 properties, and now have 2 reno projects in the pipeline. Being a part of The School of Renovating community gave them the training and confidence they needed to team up, helped them through challenges, and celebrated every goal in their property journey.

 

This is an inspiration for every renovator who wants to pursue renovating with their family because as we say, "A family that renovates together, stays together".
