How we Made a Million Dollar Business with $3,000!?


Welcome to the video. Ever wonder how we got our start? Well this is our personal story on how we combined forces to turn $3,000 into a profitable and successful million dollar vacation rental management business! We didn't start with much and it took a lot of time and sacrifice but here is how we did it! YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/_-FbG-TKBms

 

How we Made a Million Dollar Business with $3,000!?



In the beginning

- Previously Saved $1500 each to get started

- Found a property with a willing landlord that would let us short-term rent

- Roughly 1K for deposit and First month rent

- Roughly 2K for Furnishing!

- Found all of the free furniture and supplies we could!

- Did our best to DIY all of the furniture

- Took photos, created the listing and started hosting guests

- Did everything ourselves

- Move

- Paint

- Clean etc...


Profit

- First property profited about 1-2K a month

- Used all of profits and SAVED to help get next properties

- We both had jobs when we started

- Didn’t take any income from the business for the first roughly 6 months


Next Properties

- After we learned our abilities we found other properties smaller scale similar properties

with similar start up costs and profits...

- Got second property within 30 days

- Used profits from last and still used some of our own money

- Got third property 30 days after that

- Used all profits and didn’t use any of our own money

- Grew organically after that

- Able to get larger scale properties making more money costing more money

- Started paying ourselves for cleaning after about 4-6 months

- $750 A MONTH EACH


Further Growth

- Kept getting more and more properties, larger scale, more money

- Both moved full-time

- Took more money but NOT MUCH barely enough to live on


Cleaning

- Started spending all time cleaning and thought be better investment to find a cleaner and

spend time finding more properties


Million dollar company doesn’t mean million dollar man!

- Although we have expanded doesn’t mean we each take home millions every year

- We still take VERY VERY little money from business

- Putting all profits towards future growth


Have expanded but kept a small core

- Still basically just us

- Have cleaners

- Handy men

- Help from friends and family

- Accountant

- Homeowners

- Real Estate Investors

- Keeping us in full control of the growth!


TAKES SACRIFICE AND TIME

- Constantly evolving and changing

- Takes a lot of time and patience
