How I Renovated and Furnished an Entire Vacation Home in 7 Days, While 2 Months Postpartum
Description
What if I told you that setting up your dream vacation home didn’t have to take months?
In this episode of Second Home First, host Katie Cline breaks down exactly how she and her husband renovated and furnished an entire waterfront vacation home in just seven days — with a newborn and a toddler — while she was only two months postpartum.
Katie shares the full behind-the-scenes of buying the home site-unseen (!), designing the entire house from her apartment five hours away, and using systems, outsourcing, and help from family to get the home renovated, furnished, photographed and welcoming its first paying guest within just 20 days.
Tune in to learn:
–Why Katie felt confident making offer on a home without touring it first
–The system she used to furnish the entire house remotely
–Why using movers, painters, and landscapers saved months of work
–How to trade money for time without burning yourself out
–The real numbers from the first 10 weeks live on Airbnb
