This week, Lindsay sits down with Kenneth Stevens, Senior Sales Consultant at Lakeland Building Partners, to discuss his experience operating short-term rentals and helping investors complete large-scale renovation and new construction projects in Nashville.

Kenneth shares how he entered the Airbnb space through rental arbitrage, grew the business during Nashville’s tourism boom, and ultimately decided to step away as competition, operating costs, taxes, and regulations increased. He also explains why short-term rentals are rarely as passive as investors expect and what someone should evaluate before purchasing a property based on Airbnb income.

The conversation also explores the realities of high-end house flipping, including hard money financing, renovation timelines, unexpected construction costs, and the importance of leaving enough margin for problems that cannot be identified upfront. Kenneth and Lindsay discuss why investors need experienced, boots-on-the-ground partners and how the right team can help protect a deal, maintain quality, and increase the number of projects an investor can successfully manage.

In this episode of On the House with Spartan Invest, Lindsay sits down with Brian Waters, Los Angeles County Fire Captain, real estate investor, and founder of Rental Property Playbook. Brian shares how he went from navigating California wildfires to building a 20-property portfolio through out-of-state investing.

He opens up about the financial mistakes that shaped his journey, why he believes turnkey real estate is the ideal strategy for busy professionals, and the importance of education, mentorship, and taking action instead of waiting for the "perfect" market.
