What was your best meal of 2022?

Don’t be shy - comment below!

We had quite a few incredible eating experiences in 2022 (listen to our podcast which came out yesterday for our top 22), but none better than eating in what we have dubbed “The square” in Porto.

Multiple meals, all delicious, including the squid from !

Spoiler alert: one of our best desserts of 2022 also came from the same square thanks to . That episode comes out tomorrow!

It’s Baaaaack!

We just dropped the first episode of a brand new 6 part season of the EPOP podcast - and the theme is our 2022 Year in Review.

This is the 7th year in a row we’ve done a yearly recap and it all starts with our Travel Stats episode (which you can listen to right now).

We break down every single place we slept in 2022, how many miles we traveled (2022 was my highest since 2015!), and tons of other fun travel numbers.

If you’re a numbers nerd, you’ll love it!

If you’re not (cough Heather Sherry] cough), you’ll still probably like it!

And…we’re releasing 1 new episode every day for the next 6 days.

Dec 31 - Travel Stats
Jan 1 - Travel Superlatives
Jan 2 - Our 22 Best Meals of 2022 🤤
Jan 3 - Best Drinks of 2022
Jan 4 - Best Desserts of 2022 😋
Jan 5 - Best Experiences of 2022

You can listen wherever you find podcasts - we’re everywhere (yes, even Spotify now!)

So if you’ve missed us (and thanks for all the kind messages over the past few months asking when we’d be back), then it’s time to binge!

If anyone wants extra credit, count up how many places you’ve slept in 2022 and drop it in the comments below.

Let’s see if you can beat Heather Sherry] and I!

Why I Love Curtains

In December 2016, we bought our first investment property.

And over the next 1.5 years, we bought 4 more.

We made a lot of mistakes:

I locked myself out so many times that I became good friends with the locksmith.

I spent a whole day trying to spray paint blinds.

I spent 3 whole days trying to hang the blinds.

The list goes on and on.

But the cool thing is that while we certainly learned the hard way, those properties still made us money, both in the short term and the long term.

Did we make as much on those properties as we could have if we did everything right? No.

Did they take us a lot of blood, sweat, and (mostly) tears? Yes.

Where there plenty of times where I wondered “why am I even doing this?” 1000% yes.

But we got to get experience while still earning income.

Here’s the best part for you - you get to learn from our mistakes. You get to skip the “locking yourself out 3x in a week” part.

Today, I’m hosting a free 2 day workshop with my buddy (who has made his fair share of mistakes too) where we will help you get started with your own short term rental investment properties knowing a lot more than we did.

Day 1 will be a high level overview of some of the biggest myths about short term rentals and Day 2 will be a full hour Q&A where you’ll be able to ask us anything and get advice from experts.

Come join the fun - link in bio.

And remember: always curtains, never blinds.

Types of loans you can use for house hacking and how much money you need...

Unless the house you’re buying needs a ton of repairs, it typically won’t take too much money to buy the first house that you’re using to house hack. It depends on the home, how it's financed, and the size of the down payment. Here are the different types of loans you can use…

1. Conventional loan- Conventional Mortage is a loan that is not guaranteed or insured by the federal gov and may offer down payments as low as 3% based on your past finances.

2. Conforming Loan- These are eligible to be purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mack with down payment amounts as low as 3%

3. FHA Loan- FHA loans are backed by the federal housing administration, have less stringent credit score requirements, and typically require a down payment as low as 3.5%

4. VA loan- VA loans are available to veterans and active-duty military members and spouses and don’t require a downpayment or mortgage insurance.

Obviously what time of loan depends on your financial history and how much of a downpayment you have/interest rates but these are good starting points for research.

Tips for creating a great Air BnB profile…

1. Use quality photos: Keep your space clear and clean. Try not to clutter with a wide variety of decor. Consider hiring a professional photographer (we always do this).

2. Write an ACCURATE description of your listing: write accurately in all caps because it’s very important, to be honest. Our Philly houses had some crazy stairs and we were always honest about what guests could expect upon arrival. This will help you avoid bad reviews and angry guests.

3. Create a great host profile: Be authentic about who you are, be sure to fill out the profile fully, and write a great bio that explains the type of person you are.

What are your tips for creating a great Air BnB profile?

Earlier this month we talked about how important it is to take risks.

Especially if you’re living the LI lifestyle. We want to know, what’s the biggest risk you have ever taken for yourself or your business that has paid off?
