Travel, vacation rentals, personal finance/FIRE (the fat variety) - from a pragmatic, balanced, everyday person angle.
(and occasionally, other topics that tickle my INTP/Ravenclaw brain)
On this channel, I make long form videos that are:
- concise AND comprehensive
- accurate/transparent - all financial interests are disclosed so that you can make the right decision with all the info
- helpful to the average, pragmatic person (i.e. no one is a full time influencer, a full time Airbnb host, a full time traveler, full time health professional, and a full time mom. Most people dabble, most people have hobbies.)
- from a mindset that prioritizes balance and intentionality, over endless-grinding/identity-chasing. You can simultaneously grow AND be happy where you are.
I hope you find something useful here, and I'd love to have you be a part of this community :-)

I love hearing your ideas and how you prioritize things. ❤ Happy Christmas and wish you a Very Happy New Year
Happy Christmas!!
All you're interested in is money
Thank you 🙏🏽

It’s great that you have your priorities in order, thanks for sharing
Hope you’re enjoying the holiday season!
Beauty, brain and a great voice. A complete package.
Too kind 🥰🥰
I agree with you!
In my opinion, you should most definitely monetise where you can and not be coy about it. You wouldnt be able to monetise if you were not in some way creating value. Value is clearly subjective but im sure you get my point. Go for it.
Thanks for the encouragement
It all make sense and I'd give you even extra like for favoring family time over the videos 👍. Amazing how you handle all those activities anyway. I don't think you should fear affiliated links, I'm sure you'd make it work meaningfully :-)
Thank you!
Thanks for the updates! It's good to hear how things have been going. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to you as well!
We are in India too right now
Send recs we will be visiting!
@ we are living in Karnataka South India, heading to Goa during New Year holidays, but never been before, it hard to tell Where should go
I mean with young kids, we also have three kids and first time it’s hard to travel with kids, food and toilet, but now it’s used be
Right now South India good weather but North is more colder,
@@hortsang food and toilet also my biggest issues with family travel arrangements! We’re staying up north this time for family visit but next trip we will go south 🥰 hope you’re doing well
Do you get Botox on your forehead?
No- should I?? 😅
@ sorry I was not trying to be rude lol. Your forehead looks great and a bit shiny. I have this thought that shiny forehead means Botox. But now I know that’s not what it means.
@ hahah no offense taken! My friends do it. I think what it means is I need a haircut and also the lighting was weird in the video. 🤣
@@lydiapatelll no, you look awesome!
Yup empty bottles saves lives!
Housing prices are unlikely to significantly decrease until there's a substantial increase in housing supply. In the USA , there's a shortage of millions of housing units, and construction isn't keeping pace. The constant demand for housing, coupled with population growth, means that even a slight price drop attracts numerous buyers who quickly absorb the available supply. I'm considering purchasing affordable houses in 2025 and possibly venturing into stock investments. When is the best time to enter the stock market? Some people say it is profitable , but others say it's risky. Any advice?
Consider investing in stocks especially during a recession . While recessions can be tough, they can also offer good chances to buy low and sell high in the markets if you're cautious. Just remember, this is not financial advice, but it's a good time to think about buying stocks since having cash on hand isn't always the best option
If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now

Home prices will eventually drop, but for now, it’s smart to pull your money out of the housing market and consider investing in stocks or gold. Mortgage rates are high, the economy is slowing down, and it’s getting harder to qualify for loans. Home prices will likely need to fall by 40-50% before the market stabilizes. If you’re unsure about what to do, it’s a good idea to talk to an independent financial advisor who understands the markets.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service??
Great video… do you do coaching? I bought 3 units in Colombia and want to put them on Airbnb but nervous on how to manage the units while living in the states
Occasionally. Send me an email hello@lydiapatel.com
I tested all those and after upload my room the result was a joke, furnitures on the stairs, stairs glued on windows, or the composition looks like 4 years old child glued one room to other xD
Great entertainment value lol
First comment and the tips are smart❤
🥰
Your video is amazing! I’m so disappointed in all of these solutions though. They should all be free and even then I wouldn’t waste time trying them 😢
I’m hoping this is just a start, and future tools will be better..? 🤞🏼
@@lydiapatelllI sure hope so, I’m a designer and was looking for ways to speed up some of the mundane tasks but the good news is AI isn’t taking my job any time soon lol
Amazing information for someone who is just beginning their journey as a short term rental owner!
Glad it’s useful! ❤️
Thank you for your information. We are just like you, starting a side Short Term Rental out of state. Soaking up all the information we can and trying to prepare for closing. I appreciate your honest, sincere sharing and no flashy and fluff content.
Thanks for being here! ❤️
This was great. Well-organized thoughts with 'meat' behind it....very straightforward with honest suggestions.....side note: I like gaining knowledge & advice from people who seem like they are just good human beings :)
Thanks so much especially for the side note ❤️
We are about to launch our first Airbnb property! Your vids have helped us a lot. Such great content
Congrats im so excited for you! Glad they’re useful ❤️
Great workflow! Question - when you set dates for things that are stable but will need to happen down the line, how does it alert you when that deadline hits?
Yes! It emails me and also as a notification on my phone app. I believe you do have to set it to send those notifications, but it is available on the free plan.
Hey I loved your video do you have coaching?
Occasionally, def not looking to scale 😛 feel free to send me an email and let me know how I can help.
Thank you, Lydia, for the great content! A quick question on Clickup: I just have one STR. Is free plan enough for now, or should I get paid plan? Thanks.
I’m just using the free plan 😉
#15 - Once you own a Vacation Rental, you will never vacation again. Ha!
There’s truth to that!!
AWESOME thank you! Quick question does Logify work within Clickup or vice versa? Can Clickup take the place of Lodgify all together? Gracias!
Oooh great question. I think you could build more automations into ClickUp (eg emailing function) and the calendar sync but this would be their paid tier and I haven’t explored yet. If not 100% I think you could build rules to take care of a good half of a PMS!
I love your headboard/bed frame. Will you let me know where I can get one? Thanks.
West elm! 🥰
Thank you so much I have 2 tiny homes on my 3 acher property and I have been on the fence about doing this. I think Im ready now to at lease look into the regulations for my area. thanks again love your channel.
You’re so welcome and thanks for watching
Do any of these work on an empty room? Not redesigning but actually design them from scratch?
Fill spaces from Homedesigns AI, Hestya
What are the apllication you use for airbnb again?
?
Motel is less invested and good return
Thank you for this, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching ❤️
I can’t wait to see your next video; keep creating! Your unique perspective makes your videos so interesting.
Love every video of you, I know you will make more videos
Thank you!
@lydiapatelll Hi friend I am always by your side
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Hi Lydia, this is such a great and helpful video, what you are doing is great. Thank you and good luck!
Thank you so much :-) wishing you the best of luck as well.
Thank you sooo much for this free information i was just wondering when you said when the guest booked your place you send them a message can you tell me exactly what you tell them? 🤍
Collating all my templates, will post them soon!
@lydiapatelll Thank youuu so muchh
I must confess that you have become my source of inspiration because of your innate ability to present videos so effectively. 👏🙌🙏 Yours is a no-fluff, no-nonsense, and highly relatable style of work, Lydia. 👌 Apart from learning about your entrepreneurial journey, the best part I admire is how you balance your time to devote to family. 💯 I’m so thankful to be your follower. 😊 Keep it up! 👍
Aww. Thanks! So happy to have you here ❤️
Thank you so much for the honest thoughts. May God bless you!
Thanks for watching!
I watch all your videos
Thanks for the support!
@lydiapatelll Really your video is amazing from others
Thanks for your feedback
When will you give the next video? @@lydiapatelll
@ editing now, hopefully by end of the week! (Holiday season here- so fun to hang out with the fam but also hard to get UA-cam done!)
It is very nice to say a lot of nice words
lol
Great job Lydia; very helpful. Btw, where those Bluey references?😊
Bluey is seared into my core memory at this point 😂
Really enjoy your content!
Thanks so much for your support 🥰
Im looking for an account for my amazon business that allows me to automatically pay my software services monthly because when you set them up they require automatic payments. Have you found any of the free options that allow this? Thank you
Autopay not charged on the software end? (I haven’t had any service where I have to initiate the recurring monthly myself, the service charges me). If I have to guess, novo has the strongest integrations, check them first.
@lydiapatelll i guess what I mean is an account that allows you to use them as the account to charge for their service. Having a hard time explaining it. When you sign up, you give them an account to auto charge monthly. Do these accounts allow that if you use the card you get when signing up? I guess it isnt really bill pay....
as usual, Lydia you have a great channel regarding realistic perspectives on things. Small steps take a big way. Thanks
Thank you 🥰
Impressive content, Lydia Patel. Looking forward to your next upload. I tapped the thumbs up icon on your video. Keep up the amazing work! Your insights on maintaining stability while pursuing entrepreneurship are so refreshing. How do you think the current market trends will influence new entrepreneurs entering the real estate space?
So hard to guess what the next few years bring. One thing I found surprising just from my observation was how unaffected the luxury vacation rentals have been- folks dropping $4000 for a weekend, they’re unfazed..
That's why I watch this channel 😊. Listening to talented people helps you, bit by bit in tiny steps, get better. Doesn't matter that much that Lydia speaks about a subject I will probably never be involved in, or Tiago Forte about methods I will never use as he does (etc.), if I can learn a bit. Keep up great work Lydia! 👍👏
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your videos. New to renting. Do you send a rental agreement? If so, do you have a recommendation on where to get one?
I’ve seen templates from Lodgify and hospitable- haven’t used them myself.
Lydia. You are awesome! Thank you for what you do. You do this so well and you truly help people by sharing your knowledge. 😍
thank you for the kind words! you made my evening :-)
My daughter and her husband have 2 short term rentals out of state and your videos have been an inspiration for us to support them on this journey. 🙏👍
I got lots of information from your channel and really inspiring. We have some in common
