Second Home First

What if your 401(k) came with a fire pit and a lake view?

Hosted by hospitality veteran and short-term rental expert, Katie Cline, Second Home First is a brand new podcast that explores an unconventional path to homeownership.

For Katie, living in New York City made buying a home feel impossible, so she decided to flip the script and buy her ‘second home’ first.

With renting now more affordable than owning in all 50 of the largest U.S. metros, buying any home–let alone a ‘second’ one–has never felt more out of reach.

But Second Home First shows listeners how to make homeownership not only possible, but profitable by purchasing a vacation home that can double as a short-term rental—building wealth for tomorrow while providing a place to vacation for free today!
What 401(k) can do that?

As a 3x vacation home owner, Katie breaks down her proven strategy step by step, sharing actionable lessons each week so listeners can do it too. In addition to tactical solo episodes, the show will feature exclusive interviews with experts, real stories from people who’ve done it too, and Q&A coaching sessions with aspiring second home owners.

Second Home First gives listeners the tools, insights, and inspiration to make their dream vacation home a reality.
