In 2018, I had been considering using my home as a short-term rental because of my extensive travel for work. I was connected to Antoinette by a mutual friend. I'm in TN & she was in FL. Her knowledge of house-hacking transcended the states. While at the time we had never met in person nor virtually, she inspired me to go for it. She told me everything I needed to know & do to get established. After following her detailed guidance, I had my first booking & guest within a month of our initial conversation.
At first, I was only allowing bookings on days, I was scheduled to travel. The demand for more access came when guests would message me about blocked days. I consulted with Antoinette. We looked at the feasibility. I eventually had to transition to full-time short term rental. I ultimately downsized and move to another city in a smaller place. The earnings from the short term rental covered all the expenses at the property as well as all the expenses at my new place.
With the knowledge I received from Antoinette and my experience, I, too, have been able to inspire others to become short term rental hosts. I will forever be grateful to Antoinette for graciously inspiring & assisting me with tapping into a stream of income that I may have otherwise missed.

Antoinette is an extraordinaire. I thought I knew about budgeting and finances. I didn’t have nothing on her. Her vast of knowledge about budgeting, credit and debt, helped me tremendously in my financial journey. She was able to analyze my bank statements, cash flow, debt and resources and gave me a plan to follow. Due to her help, I was able to clear a substantial amount of debt ($40K) thus setting me up for success. She is honest, genuine and blunt. Which is what I loved and needed. If you need a budget analysis she is the GOAT. I’m truly grateful to know such an amazing person.

For literally decades I have looked longingly at travel brochures for beautiful island destinations in the South Pacific and South Asia and thought that the cost of travel and accommodations was simply beyond my reach. Thanks to #FearlessandFreeFi, this year I was able to enjoy the vacation of my dreams on the spectacular island of Thilamaafushi, Maldives, at the lovely new Le Meridian Maldives Resort & Spa. I enjoyed eight days of fine dining and water sports, and seven nights of pampered comfort in an over-the-water villa, all at a fraction of the regular rate. You too can achieve your travel dreams and other life goals the #FearlessandFreeFi way. Thanks, Antoinette! Excited for my next destination, knowing that with the knowledge you have shared, I will get there!

My husband and I had just finished Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad and were ready to leave the “rat race” and become financially free. The wonderful world of real estate had piqued our interest, so we were looking for ways to enter the market. I was then reminded of a status posted on Facebook by Antoinette where she described converting her home into a short-term rental and listing it on Airbnb.com. I reached out to her, and the rest is history! After we purchased our first rental, Antoinette coached us through the setup of our property on Airbnb.com, furnished us with useful materials and checklists, and was available to answer any questions we had as we navigated these unchartered waters. Almost three years and two short-term rentals later, life is good! Antoinette set us on the right path. We’ll continue to use the principles we learned from her during our pursuit of financial freedom.

I was introduced to Antoinette thru my best friend since high school, Joshua "chisel chest" Wilson. I'm pretty sure one of the first conversations I had with her was about her journey to financial freedom and she was so excited to share her wealth of knowledge with me. We started with her financial plan excel spreadsheet where I was able to review my monthly expenses and budget for future goals. Next she introduced me to travel hacking where I took advantage of airline & hotel promotional offers to travel across the country for little to no money out of my pocket! Antoinette later became my realtor and she successfully helped me to secure my first home.
I'm thankful for Antoinette and her willingness to share her story and her wealth of knowledge with others 😊
