4

Scale

Our story

We built the program we wish we had

When we first got started, we invested in courses hoping they would give us everything we needed.

And while they were a good starting point, there were gaps — no real support, no clear step-by-step path to actually getting results.

So we built Turnkey to fix exactly that: real mentorship, a clear path, and every tool you need to get your first unit producing income.

With a combined decade of hands-on experience in short-term rentals, we spent over 1.5 years building this program from the ground up — not just to teach, but to actually get people results.

Our Standard

Real Mentorship

Direct access to founders who've done it themselves.

Clear Path

A step-by-step system built around getting your first unit live.

Every Tool

Templates, scripts, and resources you actually need.

"If a close friend or family member invested in this, would we be 100% confident it would be worth it - and could change their life?"

If the answer wasn't yes, we kept improving it.

Begin your path to financial freedom

You don’t have to stay stuck in a job that drains you. You can build income, freedom, and a lifestyle that truly excites you.

Our most frequent questions

Do I need to own property to get started?

No! That’s the best part about rental arbitrage — you can build a short-term rental business without owning any property. We’ll show you exactly how to find, negotiate, and operate profitable units using proven systems that work even for beginners.

How much money do I need to start?

Most students launch their first property with $5,000–$10,000, depending on the market and setup. We’ll teach you how to keep startup costs low, partner with the right landlords, and reinvest profits to scale sustainably.

What if I have no real estate or business experience?

Perfect — you’re exactly who this program was built for. Turnkey Academy breaks everything down step by step, so you don’t need prior experience. You’ll get hands-on guidance, templates, and mentorship from real investors who’ve done it themselves.

How long will it take to get results?

Results depend on your effort and consistency, but many students secure their first deal within 60–90 days of joining the program. We’ll help you stay accountable and focused every step of the way.

What’s included in the mentorship?

Your enrollment gives you lifetime access to: Weekly live coaching calls, Video trainings and downloadable resources, Landlord negotiation scripts and property setup templates, A private student community for support and networking and Tools and systems used by top short-term rental operators

Can I do this while working a full-time job?

Absolutely. Most of our students start part-time while still working their 9–5. The systems you’ll learn are designed to help you leverage automation and build freedom — not create another job.

What if I’m nervous about talking to landlords?

That’s completely normal! You’ll get our proven landlord negotiation scripts and learn exactly how to present yourself, build trust, and confidently secure agreements that benefit both sides.

How is Turnkey Academy different from other programs?

We don’t teach theory. We teach execution. Inside our program, you get the exact systems, processes, and tools we use to operate multiple successful short-term rentals. You’re learning from active operators who run properties every day.

What if I need help after I join?

You’ll never be left on your own. We offer ongoing support, group coaching, and a private community where you can ask questions, share wins, and get feedback directly from our team.
