She Made $600,000 in 5 Months After Quitting Apple Vivian Yip on Mid-Term Rentals

from The Vince Perri Podcast · host The Vince Perri Podcast

She was launching the iPhone 12 during the pandemic. Supply chain chaos across multiple countries, 16 to 18 hour days, and an enormous amount of stress. Then she lost her hair. All of it. In eight weeks. That was the moment Vivian Yip decided to bet on herself. Five months after quitting Apple, she made $600,000 on a single real estate deal. Today she runs Crew Homes and Hestia 360, a property management company built around the mid-term rental strategy. She has 20 plus years of corporate operations experience, a master's degree in supply chain management, and a book called The Frictionless MTR System. In this episode we talk about how to build a real estate business that runs without you, why mid-term rentals outperform both short-term and long-term for most operators, and what it actually takes to leave corporate and build on your own terms. 00:00 Episode teaser and the corporate stress at Apple 00:36 Introduction: Vince Perri welcomes Vivian Yip 02:09 Vivian's journey: dealing with alopecia and leaving the corporate world 03:32 Mindset shift: how adversity shapes the person you become 06:39 From Apple to real estate: applying corporate operations to business 08:02 Introducing the book: The Frictionless MTR System 09:53 What is a mid-term rental 12:03 Knowing your ideal MTR clients and target audience 13:21 How to prepare and position a property for mid-term rentals 16:48 The frictionless process: instant bookings and automated AI screening 19:21 Financial stability: why MTR outperforms traditional short-term rentals 21:21 How to evaluate and analyze a profitable mid-term rental market 25:35 Mitigating legal risks and the importance of a guest agreement 30:15 Operational efficiencies: managing turnovers, cleanings and property upkeep 35:40 Scaling your property management business via MTR 40:20 Future outlook: where the mid-term rental market is heading in the next 5 years 43:10 Culture, core values and finding motivation beyond money 45:55 Defining true success: financial freedom vs time freedom 48:20 Where to find Vivian Yip and buy the book 49:30 Episode conclusion and final thoughts Connect with Vivian Yip: Instagram: @vivianyip_official Book a strategy call: https://go.vinceperri.com/calendar-page-yt-1 Free Value Clarity Roadmap: https://go.vinceperri.com/vcr-yt Thank you for being a vital part of our channel🧡 ========================== 📣 You can find all our exclusive channels, freebies and offers here: SOCIAL MEDIA: https://www.facebook.com/VincePerri/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinceperriofficial/ https://www.instagram.com/vinceperriofficial/ https://www.tiktok.com/@vinceperriofficial?lang=en =========================== 🔊 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/38621Yz 🔊 Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/GooglePodcastCCS 🔊 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3sbjPIs TAGS: #BeyondTheClaim #VincePerri #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #SalesStrategy #MarketingTips #BusinessPodcast #contractorbusiness #BusinessBroker #MergersandAcquisitions #RealEstate #apple
