THE PODCAST

Second Home First

What if your 401(k) came with a fire pit and a lake view? Hosted by hospitality and short-term rental expert Katie Cline, Second Home First is a podcast that explores an unconventional path to homeownership. For Katie, living in New York City made buying a home feel impossible, so she decided to flip the script and buy her ‘second home’ first.

Think owning a second home is out of reach? It’s actually closer than you think!

With renting now more affordable than owning in all 50 of the largest U.S. metros, buying any home (let alone a ‘second’ one) has never felt more out of reach. But Second Home First shows listeners how to make homeownership not only possible, but profitable by purchasing a vacation home that can double as a short-term rental—building wealth for tomorrow while providing a place to vacation for free today! What 401(k) can give you that kind of freedom and optionality? 

As a 3x vacation home owner, Katie breaks down her proven strategy step by step, sharing actionable lessons each week so listeners can do it too. In addition to tactical solo episodes, the show will feature exclusive interviews with experts, real stories from people who’ve done it too, and Q&A coaching sessions with aspiring second-home owners. 

If you thought owning any home, let alone a second one, was out of reach, this is the show for you. Katie’s giving you the tools, insights, and inspiration to make your dream vacation home a reality.

This is Second Home First.
