@officialbiggerpockets: 📍One of the best rookie-friendly side hustles in real estate? Start with what Garrett Brown does in his short-term rental biz: “Depending on how big the house is and where it’s located, I’ll have my cleaner do a final check before guests arrive—send photos, flag anything that looks off. It’s peace of mind for me, and a great way for them to earn more.” Not only does it boost their income, it teaches them how STRs operate behind the scenes. Some even move into co-hosting from there. No license. No buying a property. Just real experience and real income. That’s how rookies get in the game.
