A Bold New Approach to Personal Finance

Low inventory. High prices. Rising interest rates.
Buying your primary home might feel out of reach—but what if buying your second home first actually made more financial sense?

Once reserved for the wealthy, now within reach.

It’s time to redefine the American dream and buy your “second home” first.

Forget what you’ve been told—vacation homes aren’t just for the rich anymore.
Thanks to rental income, smarter tools, and creative financing, owning a second home is finally affordable for everyday people. They’re using this bold strategy to:

Generate passive income without becoming a full-time landlord
Build generational wealth with a real, appreciating asset
Create a meaningful space for family memories
Gain freedom and flexibility without waiting decades


Step 1: Dream It

Picture your perfect vacation home—what it looks like, where it’s located, and how you’d use it. Whether it’s a sun-drenched beach cottage, a cozy mountain cabin, or a charming lakeside retreat, begin by setting clear goals that align with your lifestyle. Estimate income potential as a short-term rental and understand how local rules and zoning laws could impact your plans.

Step 2: Plan It

Get a handle on the numbers. With income potential in mind, create a budget and explore different ways to finance your purchase (hint: you have more options than you think!). With easy-to-follow checklists, customizable budget templates, and actionable tips, this step demystifies the affordability question, empowering you to turn what may feel like a distant dream into a tangible reality.

Step 3: Prep It

Create a vacation home that your family will treasure and guests will rush to book. Learn how to design a space that’s both beautiful and functional, making it a joy to use and easy to share. Discover practical tips, like how to add smart locks, stock essentials, and set up simple systems to make managing—and enjoying—your home effortless.

Step 4: Live It

Take the stress out of running your vacation rental by exploring management options. Whether hiring a property manager, working with a co-host, or managing things yourself, find a solution that works for you. Plan for the future with a rainy day fund so your dream home stays worry-free.
