When it comes to success, people often debate between experience and knowledge.

Now, knowledge is great, but let's face it, without the ability to apply it, it's useless! That's why experience is the real game-changer! It's the hands-on, in-the-trenches learning that separates the winners from the losers.

And the best part? You can't "fake" experience. You either have it or you don't. - it's the key to unlocking success!

In today's episode, I share a crazy story of knowledge without experience backfiring on a successful investor I know.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Andres Perez. He and his wife Eliska are two individuals who have taken their financial future into their own hands and are on track to invest full time in vacation homes in just over a year.

Andres and Eliska were fed up with the limitations of the corporate world and decided to pursue their dreams of lifestyle and financial freedom. They took the leap and raised capital from a few close investors, and they haven't looked back since.

They're passionate about investing in vacation homes and they are well on their way to lifestyle and financial freedom.

Even after facing the challenges of not one, but two major hurricanes in their first year of ownership, they're more determined than ever to succeed.

In our interview, Andres shares the ups and downs of their journey, including the lessons they've learned along the way. Their story is inspiring, and I'm excited for you to hear it.

So, join us for this incredible conversation about building a life of financial freedom through vacation home investments. It's going to be one for the books.

Elise was looking for an asset that could help her save on the massive tax bill she was paying each year when someone suggested she look into investing in short term rentals.

She dove in right out of the gate and bit off a bit more than she had planned with an older home purchase that needed some work.

However, through the challenges, she has become hooked on the many possibilities of building lifestyle and financial freedom investing in vacation homes.
