On today's episode of Mariette's On The Move we have a very special guest! @thekevinbay comes on today and we talk about 'Rental Arbitrage.' It came from a conversation we were having about 'robustness', which is part of my FRED Framework (physical strength) when it comes to moving, and he mentioned something about how he's doing rental arbitrage. I was like, 'time out- what is that??' I had never heard of it, have you?? ⁠⁠It's when you do a long term rental agreement with a landlord to rent out that place short term. It's a great alternative to buying a place and rent it out on a short term basis, but there are some pros and cons. Tune in to find out what they are!⁠⁠Kevin's a former college and professional athlete who now owns a fitness business called Hybrid Performance Center in Peoria, AZ where he trains all levels of baseball players from young high school kids to players that play for major league baseball team. ⁠Want to check out some of my favorite things from the show?
