Selling My AirBnb To Fund My Stock Hacking & the Rent to Own Queen Rachel Oliver

I’ve shared this story to my mastermind group with some of the top investors in Canada and at the KWCREI meetup up. Thank you Doug and Anna for having me out to share. Surprisingly, no one disagreed with my decision. Well, one friend did, but when I clarified there was not an affordable option to legalize the basement into an apartment, she agreed and now she too wants to learn more about stock hacking. LOL. Speaking of learning, to quote Warren Buffet, the most successful investor in the world, “the more you learn, the more you earn.” My wife, Cherry, discovered Warren’s cartoon series for kids and it’s awesome! We don’t let our kids watch much TV. It’s not the easiest, as we have to then be more active parents, but when we discovered this cartoon series by the Oracle of Omaha, we had to give it a try.
The show is called Warren Buffet’s Secret Millionaire Club and it’s all free on YouTube or its website. Link: https://www.smckids.com/ The challenge with the website is I can’t get it to broadcast from my phone to TV. How lazy does that sound?? I’ll plug in my laptop next time, as some of the ads YouTube was showing before a children’s cartoon were quite questionable: ads for upcoming horror movies… smh. In the show, Warren leads a small group of three young people as they figure through business challenges faced by young people. The first episode is about an unsuccessful lemonade stand. Warren runs down a checklist to figure out the problem and, spoiler alert, the lemonade stand is located on a low traffic street. Warren explains why a high traffic street would produce better results. Each episode is short. We plowed through about seven episodes, and by the time we shut off the TV, my kids were repeating the “more you learn, the more you earn” catch phrase. Most of the time, the youngest mixes it up and says the, “more you earn, the more you learn”. 🙂 Quick update from my own investing, my ugly house that I bought without seeing that got Cherry really pissed at me: today the basement is being spray foamed, so we asked the tenants to not come back until after dinner. We also had a delivery of two brand new stainless steel fridges. The delivery folks will take the doors off the fridge, but I didn’t have anyone attend the delivery to take the front door off it’s hinges. Sigh. It is what it is, so I hired my property manager to take care of the property while it’s partly vacant. He’s also the same person leasing out the remainder of the home as a student rental, so fingers crossed we can get it fully rented to cover those steep, B lender mortgage rates! Ironically enough, Warren Buffet is a mortgage share owner of the mortgagee. My AirBnb is being listed this week. I had two of the coaches on my team provide me what they think I should list for and, not surprisingly, they independently came up with the same number. I’m selling it furnished, which is uncommon, and I am sending in Jacqueline, the same stager who furnished the house, to add some final touches for staging. Even I learn something new everyday. Even the nicest furnished homes require some staging, Jacqueline tells me she’ll add around 12 items: plants and decorations. I put books and plates and cups on my coffee table at home. Most people keep those spaces clear when selling, but when staging, she will decorate working surfaces. I’m such a nerd, I find this stuff fascinating. The path to success is measured in inches, not miles. Continue to be open minded and willing to learn everyday. Having Jacqueline, my stager, go also saves me a trip :). She has a detailed eye and will let my handman know to take care of anything touch ups necessary. Update from the stock hacker world: as my wife always tells me, I’m over thinking it. LOL. My trades continue to be good ones as I continue on a positive trend with 6% returns in about five weeks and my cash flow is now $921. I have to be assigned shares as my low risk strategy is working out. Much credit goes to my friends who are experts: Omar, Matthew and Shawn who have all been trading for 12 years. Disclaimer time: I’m not recommending, only sharing what I do. If you want advice, please seek the advice of a licensed professional. Just yesterday, I was on a guest of a podcast showing officer Dave Knight of the 911 Wealth Network how I do a trade. From my smart phone, I sold a put on Enbridge and was paid $84 to do so. The $84 is deposited to my account, then I put my phone away. It took me less than 15 minutes. I’ll check in again in the afternoon but just to see how the market is doing, and put my phone away again. Needless to say that’s the easiest $84 I’ve ever made in my life, and I can not wait to scale my portfolio up to earn more passive income. As an added benefit, I consulted my Accountant for the tax handling of options income and I’m quite happy with it. Please check with your Accountant. 🙂 For anyone interested in learning more about stock hacking, my expert friends Omar and Mattew and sharing this little known secret on November 9th at the www.wealthhacker.ca conference.
