About me
Hi there! I’m Diya Liu, and I help both real estate investing newbies as well as seasoned investors alike maximum their rental cashflow with vacation rentals.
I came to the United States when I was 8 years old. Our family of 3 lived on my mom’s measly $1,000/month graduate student stipend.
My journey to investing was not a straight path. I was raised to believe that the equation to success equaled getting straight A’s, go to a good college & grad school then get a good W2 job.
I did just that, and I wasn’t happy.
I double majored in chemical engineering and biochemistry in college. I got a full ride scholarship to law school. I got a job at a prestigious white shoe law firm in NYC upon graduating from law school.
Then I realized I didn’t want to work 9AM to Midnight for the rest of my career.
After research I found the financial independence movement, and decided I want to be location independent too, not just financially independent!
I started investing in vacation rentals and got my first booking within 15 minutes of hitting “publish”.
I had over 90% occupancy for my first month on Airbnb.
Since then I quickly purchased more vacation rentals and achieved both financial and location independence, giving me the freedom to travel the world.
