Second Home First

When COVID hit, I made three budgets: what would happen if I lost my job, what would happen if my husband lost his job, and what would happen if we both did. It was the first time I really understood how fragile a single stream of income can be—and how important it is to build something beyond it. This week’s expert guests, Grace Gudenkauf and Amelia McGee, are the co-founders of Women Invest in Real Estate (WIIRE), a community, podcast and series of retreats. They teach women how to become W2 optional so others can avoid feeling the same way I did. Tune in to learn: -Why the traditional path we’ve been taught (think 9-to-5 job, 401k investments) isn’t the only way to approach life -How certain beliefs are quietly holding us back -How growing up in the Midwest shaped their mindset around money, work, and doing everything themselves -Some tips and tricks on how to start thinking and operating like the CEO of your own business Key links: –Second Home First Academy: https://www.BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com/academy *Use code PODCAST for 40% off –Use code KATIE for $200 off WIIRE Summer Camp, taking place this September in the Poconos: https://www.wiire.com/summercamp —Check out the Women Invest in Real Estate podcast: https://wiire.com/thewiirepodcast –Subscribe to the free weekly newsletter: BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com/#subscribe –Visit the website: BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com –Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @BuyYourSecondHomeFirst –Find us on Substack: SecondHomeFirst.Substack.com –Say Hi!

What if I told you that you don’t need to be rich to buy a second home? And that actually, buying that very home could be the thing that MAKES you rich!? On this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real numbers behind our second homes. What they cost. What we invested. What they make. And why this strategy has completely changed the way we think about wealth.

What if your primary home didn’t tie you down but actually gave you the freedom to leave? Today’s guest didn’t buy his second home first, but when an unexpected job opportunity took him to Buenos Aires, he turned his primary home into a short-term rental, covering his mortgage and more. This Week’s Guest: Taylor Smith’s story is a little bit of a departure from what we usually talk about. He didn’t buy his second home first. Instead, he bought a primary home in Denver, with the intention of eventually turning it into a short-term rental. When an unexpected work opportunity in Buenos Aires arose, he was able to hop on a flight knowing his mortgage would be covered by his rental income. Taylor also works at Turno, a marketplace that connects short-term rental owners with cleaners and service providers, so he’s bringing an insider perspective on one of the most overlooked—but most important—parts of running a successful rental. Tune in to learn: -How growing up with parents in real estate shaped his path early on -The systems he put in place to manage his short-term rental from abroad -The conversation that changed how he thought about buying a home and why it’s simpler than we think Are you looking for more income, options and freedom in your life? Do you like the idea of owning a vacation home that pays for itself? If so, I hope you’ll join us in the inaugural class of the Second Home First Academy. We’re kicking off on April 8th, and in just five weeks I’ll teach you the exact four-step framework I used to find, finance, and furnish my three vacation homes so you can do it too.

Join us as we walk through the exact process I use to evaluate a property’s income potential, risks, and overall potential to pay for itself. This Week’s Guest: Ruth Pferdehirt is an actress living in New York City. As an artist, Ruth shares that she had largely written off homeownership altogether. But when she received a large residual check from the Emmy-award winning show she does voiceover work for, she immediately knew she wanted to buy her second home first.

If you’re a self-employed freelancer and think getting a mortgage, especially on a second home, just isn’t possible, this week’s episode is for you. Our guest, a New York City–based travel journalist, didn’t want to give up his rent-stabilized apartment in the West Village. So instead of stretching to buy in Brooklyn, he leveraged little-known lending options to purchase a mid-century modern fixer-upper in Connecticut— turning his love of architecture from something he writes about into something he actually owns. This Week’s Guest: Paul Jebara is a freelance journalist who writes about travel, architecture and design. Even though he has found the unicorn of Manhattan real estate—a rent-stabilized apartment in the coveted West Village—he considered giving it up to buy in Brookly. But as his search went on, his budget kept climbing, the neighborhoods he could afford kept getting further out, and the compromises within the space kept stacking up. Eventually, Paul decided to keep renting in the West Village and buy his second home first, a mid-century modern fixer upper in Litchfield County, Connecticut. Tune in to learn: -Why buying a fixer-upper became Paul’s strategic advantage to avoid bidding wars -How writing a thoughtful letter to the sellers helped Paul’s lower-priced offer win out -How Paul navigated financing as a longtime freelancer, including mortgage options available to self-employed buyers that many traditional lenders don’t even know about ***Paul is currently a “Sweet Spotter”.

That’s what happened for this week’s guest, whose decision to skip buying a primary home in Brooklyn set off a chain reaction that changed her career and her life for the better. ***Interested in learning to buy a vacation home that pays for itself?

The numbers were staggering. Instead of locking herself into that version of homeownership, Blythe chose a different route. She purchased a home in the Hamptons and thanks to strong summer rental demand, literally received a check at closing—the rent payment from the summer tenants, that would cover her costs for the next year.

Imagine realizing that the down payment you’ve been saving to buy a primary home in Brooklyn would be enough money to buy your second home entirely in cash. On today’s Real Stories episode, you’ll meet Liz, who traded city price tags for the Hudson Valley, and hear why that property didn’t stay her ‘second home’ for very long. This Week’s Guest: Liz was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. When she and her husband began househunting in Greenpoint, she was shocked to learn that a barely 3 bedroom fixer upper would cost $3 million. So instead, Liz decided to buy her second home first, a gorgeous a-frame in the Hudson Valley’s Dover Plains, for less than a fifth of what a smaller place would’ve cost her in Brooklyn. Tune in to learn: -Why making gingerbread houses with her kids sealed the deal on her second home -How “test-driving” a property by staying there first can change everything -Why emotional connection matters just as much as the numbers -The surprising outcome of this purchase that no one saw coming Key links: –What type of vacation home owner would you be?

Are you a “real” adult if you don’t own your primary home? Today’s expert guest, a generational researcher, explains how that definition of true adulthood was shaped by our parents’ era—and why it’s no longer relevant for Millennials and Gen Z. This Week’s Expert: Dr. Meghan Grace is a generational expert, researcher, and author who’s spent her career studying how Millennials and Gen Z are reshaping the way we think about careers, money, and yes, real estate. She’s here to share insights on why younger generations are especially drawn to strategies like Second Home First—from growing up in the sharing economy to coming of age in a digital-first world. She also breaks down the latest research which just might prove that my Baby Boomer Dad’s skepticism wasn’t personal—but generational. Tune in to learn: -Why the “forever home” is a myth -How generational mindset shifts impact our approach to life -How younger buyers are using short-term rentals to offset mortgages and build equity -Why renting in high-cost cities can be a strategic financial move, not a failure -How buying a second home first can unlock both lifestyle freedom and long-term wealth Key links: –Subscribe to the free weekly newsletter: BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com/#subscribe –Visit the website: BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com –Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @BuyYourSecondHomeFirst –Find us on Substack: SecondHomeFirst.Substack.com –Say Hi!
