    Ditching the Hamster Wheel: How Senta and Eric Used Real Estate to Fund Full-Time Camper Living

    Click to Send Laura a Text! Are you tired of the 9-to-5 grind? Do you dream of funding a life of travel with your real estate? On this episode of the Less House More Moola Podcast, host Laura shares an inspiring conversation with Senta and Eric (@SentaAndEricSomewhere), a couple who successfully escaped the corporate rat race in Cincinnati to live full-time in their DIY camper. Senta and Eric reveal the exact financial and logistical strategies they used over three and a half years to achieve financial independence, focusing on their unconventional approach to real estate. They strategically converted both their primary residence and an acquired duplex into high-performing short-term rentals (STRs) to generate a reliable income stream while traveling. In this episode, you will learn: The Asset Mindset Shift: How to view everything you own—from your car to your time (sweat equity)—as an asset that can work for you, challenging the advice that "you gotta spend money to make money."Delayed Gratification & Planning: Why their path took years, including nine months building their DIY camper and a full year renovating a duplex, and what kept them motivated through the difficult work.Remote Property Management Masterclass: Eric, a former financial advisor, breaks down the automated systems and critical local network (cleaners, handymen, landscapers) he uses to manage three rental units from anywhere in the world, saving 20-30% in property management fees.Prioritizing Peace of Mind: Why they intentionally avoided highly leveraged strategies like the BRRRR method, opting instead for a lower-debt approach where Senta’s remote income can cover all liabilities, ensuring security and "sleeping well at night."Essential Tips for Aspiring Nomads: Practical advice on how to start the planning and downsizing process, and the importance of having a financial cushion for inevitable rental downtime.This episode is proof that you don't need to wait for retirement to live your dream life—you just need a smart plan.
