Back in 2018, I was a 32-year-old pastor working 60-hour weeks for just $3,500 a month.

My wife Steph and I were drowning in debt, living paycheck-to-paycheck, and struggling to put food on the table for our two little kids.

We knew something had to change — but we didn’t have the time, money, or “connections” most income opportunities require.

Then in 2019, everything changed.

Our 5-year-old son came home from school with bruises all over his body. He was shaking, eyes wide with fear.

When we demanded answers, the school had nothing. No report. No explanation. No accountability.

That day, we made a decision: our son’s safety came first.

The only solution was a private school — with a $12,000 annual tuition bill we couldn’t afford. We had our backs against the wall.

With only $17,000 to our name, we had one shot to make something work.

A friend introduced us to the “rent-to-rent” Airbnb model. We took the leap — and what happened next still blows my mind.

From $17k… to 500+ Properties & $30M+ in Bookings

In our first year, we launched 100 Airbnb properties.

Year 2? 200 properties.

Year 3? 300 properties.

By year 4, over 450 properties.

And today, we’ve launched more than 500 properties — generating over $30 million in bookings along the way.

We’ve built a business that’s given us time with our kids, the freedom to travel, and the life we once thought was impossible — without owning the majority of the properties.

And we’ve helped hundreds of others do the same.
