Short-Term Rentals & Vacation Homes

Flipping Without Flipping
Katy introduces “flipping without flipping”—real-life client stories of purchasing fixer-uppers, living in them during renovations, and selling after two years to avoid capital gains taxes and unlock major equity. These stories highlight the power of vision, patience, and high-quality renovations.
