From Corporate to Cash Flow

Ep. 36: RV Park Investing with a Purpose: Funding Dog Rescue via Real Estate with Whitney Parkhill

In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, hosts Andrea Cannon and Liz Schwab sit down with Whitney Parkhill to talk about investing in RV parks with a mission: rescuing 100,000 dogs through purpose-driven real estate. Whitney’s journey didn’t start in real estate. She began her career in fashion, then made the leap into investing by fix-and-flipping a property in the Bay Area. After experimenting with private money lending and other real estate strategies, Whitney realized she wanted more than financial returns, she wanted her investments to directly support her passion for saving dogs. 
That clarity led her to partner with Melissa Ryan (a previous podcast guest: https://youtu.be/W3ajizzJ5TQ?si=crlvZzEU5dyR9EUV) to create a unique investment model: dog-friendly RV parks that also operate as rescue hubs. Together, they’re proving that real estate can be both profitable and impactful. After successfully exiting the corporate world, Whitney is now focused on helping others uncover their own purpose beyond a W2.
Alongside another former podcast guest, Kaila Appleman (https://youtu.be/77P0tKufQ1w?si=xv4EX9nhSJmkYeSy), she’s guiding people who want to build businesses and investments aligned with what matters most to them. 
In this episode, we cover: - How Whitney transitioned from fashion to real estate - Why RV parks became the perfect vehicle for impact investing - How to align your investments with your personal mission - What it really takes to leave corporate and build purpose-driven cashflow 
 Tune in for an inspiring conversation about building wealth without compromising your values.

Ep. 33 Can Buying a Business Solve Your Tax Problems? with Luke Van Der Veer

In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, Andrea Cannon and Liz Schwab sit down with Luke Van Der Veer to discuss buying businesses, a solution to his tax problem. Luke graduated with his MBA but it only took Luke about a month to realize that a W2 job was not a good fit for him. He immediately started side hustles like multi-level marketing, drop shipping, and other gigs in order to figure out how to make money outside of a traditional job. He eventually landed on lead generation through SEO and became very successful renting websites to companies. This success created a massive tax burden so he talked with his CPA about how to pay less taxes and his CPA suggested getting into real estate or business buying. He leaned into the business buying and bought an ice cream catering company using a SBA loan. He then leveraged his lead generation skillset to grow the company. Now he's learned a lot since buying this first business so he's looking to buy additional businesses where he can harness his skills to make a difference. Don't miss this episode where we learn if buying a business can solve your tax problems. And if you have your own tax problems, make sure to reach out to Luke to get leads on your own business to buy.
