Hi, My Name Is Avery… ✋ #shorts
Summary
This video shares the story of Avery, who went from earning a $37,000 a year job to becoming a millionaire and gaining time freedom through short-term rentals (STR). She initially worked a decent job but had limited freedom, leading her to explore STRs. Avery envisioned buying one property to cover the mortgage and generate extra income, and now owns 8 short-term rentals and 225 long-term doors, which allows her the flexibility to work when she wants and enjoy life.
