Turning Short‑Term Rentals into a Bigger Hospitality Business with Rashmi Bhat

On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Rashmi Bhat. Rashmi shares how she went from opening a restaurant at 21 to falling in love with Airbnbs, quickly building a multi‑market STR portfolio and scaling management in the Texas Hill Country to dozens of units through systems and a VA team. She and Avery dig into why the Hill Country still has room for standout properties—and the realities (like taxes) investors should underwrite—plus how keeping a W‑2 can be a strategic “fortress” while you grow cash‑flowing assets.    How to connect with Rashmi: Toasty Indian on socials   How to connect with Avery: The Short Term Shop - https://theshorttermshop.com/ www.strquestions.com Follow Avery Carl on Instagram Follow Avery Carl on TikTok Join the Short Term Shop Facebook group Check out the Short Term Shop on YouTube   For more information on how to get into short term rentals, read Avery’s books: Smarter Short Term Rentals - Buy it on Amazon Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth: Your Guide to Analyzing, Buying, and Managing Vacation Properties – Buy it on Amazon
