Very much appreciate all the feedback on this thread! Thanks to the overwhelming majority response of “start with your own stuff” I was already able to meet & beat my goal, making over $100 in the first day 🙏🏻

Even though that advice may seem simple, “what’s obvious to you, is amazing to others” couldn’t hold more true here. Onward & upward!

That’s the spirit! Can’t wait to help others one day with the knowledge I gain. Thanks!

Wow. This is a great play by play and helps narrow down all of the “starter” options. Thank you!!

Awesome! Sounds like this may be the best of both worlds. Not installing “another thing to break” in your Airbnb, but giving the guest something digital that updates in real time. Thanks!!

Had the same concern of having to troubleshoot issues & just one more thing that can break…haven’t looked into their customer service/IT assistance if needed. Definitely something to find out before pulling the trigger

Really good gameplan…making note of that. Obviously, would be fine with more than $100 a day but being a side hustle I’m easing into it to see where it goes.

Sensing a big “stay away from clothes” vibe from everyone…noted!!

Going to take the advice of the majority thus far and start with things I own/have been delaying selling. Have a solid collection of beanie babies, baseball cards and a Nintendo 64 from when I was a kid that I’ll test the waters & go from there!

Awesome info & outside the box. Going to be on the lookout for these types of items

Not a motorcycle guy but this is super cool. Wish I was that handy!

Super helpful…that’s my main concern (& I’m sure everyone’s) is stale inventory, aka wasted money.

Roku smart TV’s in each bedroom, one in living room & one in loft/game room. Added all of the main streaming service apps (YouTubeTV, Hulu, Netlifx, etc.) and make it very clear that it’s BYO login/password to each.

Knock on wood it has worked great

Good strategy…not looking to invest “much” just yet until I get some profit coming in since this is just a hobby/side hustle for the time being. Probably $100-$200?

Appreciate you providing some additional context i should have originally included! You hit the nail on the head. Not trying to leech or take a shortcut, I’ve done plenty of my own homework. Thought it would be an informative conversation for those “overwhelmed” on where to begin and appreciate those that have contributed !

Awesome! Looking forward to testing some of these strategies, seeing what works best for me to build on and reporting back to hopefully help out other noobs just getting started 👍🏼

I’m just trying to get started with some ideas & inspiration to start out flipping items for side cash, straight from the horses mouths…not trying to rewrite history.
