Ep. 165: Working With Landlords To Secure Arbitrages, Getting Good Rates On Turo Cars, & VA Loans
Description
Sierra Castleberry runs eight short-term rentals in Houston and four Turo cars, all launched since March 2021. She walks through how she negotiates two weeks free rent from small landlords, uses personal credit to get cars at zero down with 800+ scores, and why she avoids pets and noise monitors entirely by pre-screening guests through required booking messages. Sierra also reveals she's earning as much from one-on-one coaching as from her properties combined.
The conversation covers the mechanics of VA renovation loans for fourplexes, why Turo takes 40% on the premium plan, the August lock setup that never gets a check-in question, and how a one-bedroom near Montrose bars hits $359 a night on Pride Weekend. Sierra explains why she refuses apartment complexes in favor of landlords with under 30 units, and why Peerspace revenue is stuck until iCal syncing arrives.
