    PLP-136 George Salas On Getting Long-Lasting Revenue Through Short-Term Rentals

George also explains how he deepens relationships with the people that he trains, eventually building joint ventures.

    George Salas On Getting Long-Lasting Revenue Through Short-Term RentalsLearn How Rent Arbitrage Can Increase Your ROIIf you're a regular reader to this show, then you know that I do my best to keep the topics of the interviews either strictly private lending-related or at least interesting from a different investment or personal perspective. The topic of the episode is no different as guest George Salas is flip and crushing it in the short-term rental space.
    I met him at a Mastermind in Key West and I'm happy that we connected. I got on the plane to fly to Key West. I did not want to go. It had extremely limiting beliefs and yet is one of the best things I've done. I love to know stories of innovators and how people pivot when times change or when they get bad, and given the recent COVID scamdemic and the current bubble and the retail housing market.
    It's a real disease. All that stuff is over 99% survival rate. It's a flipping scamdemic. We are in a bubble. I'm calling it. Greenspan said, "You can't see a bubble until you're beyond it or it's burst." I'm calling it a bubble. More than $50,000 above ask in the market is a bubble. You can bookmark this show and can come back to it and give me grief or cheer me on when I'm proven right.
    I couldn't think of a better time to introduce you to my guest and his business model. The best thing of all is that George Salas is crushing the short-term rental game right here in Houston, in H-Town, which makes my smile a little bit bigger. Let's go ahead and get down to the brass tacks of the show and straight to the interview with George Salas.
    ---
    George, welcome to the show.
    Thank you very much, Keith. It is an absolute honor to be here.
    I'm looking forward to you to explain your business model. That is, you don't flip, landlord, own or finance but you do short-term rentals. I'm going to give you the floor. Tell us how you got into real estate, short-term rentals and the basic mechanics of your business.
    My journey started when I was six years old. I'm sitting in the living room of my parents' house. My mom and dad pulled my brother and me aside and said, "Guys, we need to talk to you. You're going to go to your grandma's. You're going to stay there for a little bit." This is from a city by the name of Lima in Peru, the capital. We moved to a small town.
    It was just my mom. It was an environment where I get to stand by my dad. We left that city into a small little town and then the town was 20,000 people. I didn't get to see my father for nine years but he came back again into my life. We were moving here to the US. I came when I was fifteen. I wouldn't get to say bye to him twice and it affected me my entire life until I realized that I didn't need to be better for my dad.
    I didn't need to be in a place I’m good enough because I felt I wasn't good enough. I felt that because my father was never a great provider. We moved here. All through my young 15, 18 to 20, I was a grocery stacker. I worked at Kmart. Then I got into the nightlife and I...

    Hello Private Lender Nation!!!!

    But do you want to learn from my mistakes so you can both avoid and profit from them? Well then pull up a chair and pour yourself a drink, my friend. Because this podcast is just for you, as I am dedicated to giving people just like you and me the knowledge and confidence for successful and profitable Private Lending.
    In today’s episode, we will continue with our monthly lesson from the book by George Clason's the Richest Man in Babylon. Today’s lesson is the 5th cure for a small account balance, which is simply: Make your house a profitable investment, or in other words, own your own home. but before we get to the heart of the matter, first I need to do a little housekeeping.

    2 – And most important of all, the Private Lender Academy still needs some work before I introduce her to the world and therefore I’m departing from the original plan in hopes of getting the course to life. However, on August 17th at 7:30pm CST, I am holding a webinar/Facebook Live where I will begin to teach the principles of the academy. The purpose of the webinar is to get 10 committed people to opt-in to group coaching where I teach you everything I know about originating private loans.
    As a result of participating in the group coaching, you will help me refine the PLA and receive a free copy of the course once it is complete. I am looking for 10 students to form this focus group that will help refine the course over a 4-week period beginning in late August.

    OK, the housekeeping is finished and now it’s time to get down to the brass tacks of today’s episode: the 5th cure for a lean account. And like so many lessons in life that we should heed, the principle is quite simple, but sometimes we humans seem to have trouble with the execution.
    Let’s get down to the brass tacks and listen to what Arkad tells his students:
    Make your house a profitable investment. A. K. A. - Own your Home
    "If a man sets aside none parts of his earnings upon which to live and enjoy life, and if any part of his nine parts can be turned into a profitable investment without detriment to his well-being, then so much fast will his treasures grow." So spoke Arkad to his class at their fifth lesson.
     "All too many of our men of Babylon do raise their families in unseemly quarters. They do pay to exacting landlords and liberal rents for rooms where their wives have not a spot to raise the blooms that gladden a woman's heart and their children have no place to play their games except in unclean alleys.
    "No man's family can fully enjoy life unless they do have a plot of ground wherein children can play in the clean earth and where the wife may raise not only blossoms but good rich herbs to feed her family. 
    "To a man's heart, it brings gladness to eat the figs from his own trees and the grapes of his own vines. To own your own home and to have it a place he is proud to care for, puts confidence in his heart and greater effort behind all his endeavors. Therefore,
