When was the last time you did NOTHING because you became overwhelmed with EVERYTHING you needed to do? Well, it happens to the best of us. Even me. I have known I would do an MTR – Mid Term Rental in my current home to get started in real estate and add to my mega savings machine (so I can buy real estate) – but just the thought of having to organize/clean up my teenager’s room (can I get a witness?) simply overwhelmed me.

After a few days of pondering and flat out procrastinating I decided to start cleaning and picking after my teenager (since she is going to college in the fall– I am turning her bedroom into a mid-term rental room and will sacrifice half of my very large closet room and convert it to her room).

It took me about half an hour to clean up and organize her stuff. Took some pictures for you. You'll be able to look at the pictures on the corresponding blog article TOMORROW! (come back and you'll see the link).

In today's episode I discuss the benefit of starting by taking the easiest step you take INSTEAD of waiting to take THE step. 

As you know, there are MANY strategies, I, for one, want to start with house-hacking but that is proving a bit tricky in my state (at least right now). But today, we are talking about another option, MTR (Mid Term Rentals).

I discuss what it is and how I am getting started.

Today we bring you Joe Riley from Patriot Family Homes - an amazing short term rentals company that started working around military bases and has extended to many cities throughout the US.  

While Joe and his family were part o the military they saw how the constant moving created the need for military families to do something with their homes and all the furniture in it. 

Patriot Family Homes created an amazing company where college grads, veterans and their spouses can have flexible and remote employment. 

I was VERY impressed with their setup and their passion for helping veterans and their spouses.  You will be inspired to start again - whether after a military career or if like me, you are new to real estate investing and need ALL the tools and resources you can get your hands on. 

Make sure to follow @Patriotfamilyhomes on the gram and let them know which one was your favorite tip from the episode.
