Joining me on this episode of Living Off Rentals is someone who’s been an athlete, Navy veteran, cyber engineer, and now, a short-term rental investor.

Stylianos “Steve” Kalamaras is a fighter in every sense of the word. A former boxer turned real estate investor, he’s built an impressive short-term rental portfolio that brings in solid cash flow to rival his tech salary.

He is also a member of my First Vacation Rental Investment Blueprint Program, and since joining, he’s closed on a handful of standout deals, including one where he converted a two-unit into a three-unit property that’s already generating over $3,000 in monthly cash flow.

In this episode, we dive into how each chapter of his life, from sports to military service to tech, has contributed to his success as an investor. We also talk about the lessons he learned through the deals he’s closed, working with contractors, and why a good house hack might just be the best financial decision you can make.

Enjoy the episode!
