Most real estate investors start with a simple assumption: buy a property, rent it out to a long-term tenant, collect a check every month, and repeat. It is a proven model. It works. Millions of people have built wealth this way. But there is a ceiling to how fast that wealth accumulates, and for many investors, that ceiling feels frustratingly low. Avery Carl hit that ceiling early in her investing career. She and her husband bought their first long-term rental in 2016, a modest property in their hometown. The numbers worked, but barely. After the mortgage, insurance, taxes, and maintenance, the property produced a small monthly profit. It would take years of saving those small profits before they could afford another property. The math was simple, and it was discouraging. Then she discovered short-term rentals.

A property that produced $300 per month as a long-term rental might produce $1,500 or more as a short-term rental. That is five times the cash flow from the exact same asset. This realization changed everything. Instead of waiting years to save enough for another down payment, Carl could acquire properties at a dramatically faster pace. The increased cash flow from each short-term rental accelerated her ability to buy the next one. What started as a slow, methodical climb became a compounding wealth-building machine.

They require different skills, different systems, and a different mindset. The guests are different. The risks are different. The management demands are different. Many investors who try to make the switch fail because they treat a short-term rental like a long-term rental with a different booking platform. This book exists to bridge that gap. It is a practical guide to building wealth through short-term rentals, written by someone who has done it at scale. Carl does not offer theoretical advice or get-rich-quick promises. She offers a systematic approach based on…
