Meet the woman who has made an impressive £19k from her side hustle of flipping furniture - in less than nine months.
Claire McCann, 27, began reselling furniture while moving house. Her first sale was a desk - which went for more than she bought it for.
She then realised there was money to be made in furniture, so she invested in a lock-up and started buying and selling in her spare time.
And, in just nine months, Claire says she has now made a profit of $22,500, which is nearly £19,000.
Claire, a school psychologist, from San Francisco, US, explains: "In nine months I've spent $44k (£35k) and sold $68k (£55k) worth - so my actual profit after paying for gas and on-demand pick-up service is $22.5k.

"The biggest impact for me is it's allowed me to pay off some student loans.
"But further than that it's just impacted my confidence and I've surprised myself. I never thought I'd be able to do anything like this.
"It felt so great to be able to enjoy and treat myself in things that were important for me, but my big target was empowering women that they can have more control and more financial freedom.
"I've made so many mistakes along the way and I've lost money on things that I definitely thought would sell. It was a lot of trial and error.
"But I try to target really trendy and stylish pieces. I'm always on the trends and seeing what people love and looking for that sort of stuff online and scooping it up.
"Buying in bundle has helped me a lot as well. Going on Craigslist and scooping up a bunch of things and offering people a deal for a bundle.
"You have to have a third eye too. The first 100 pieces were big trial and error."
Claire used the money from her first sale to buy a table and chair set for $65 (£52), which she sold for $300 (£241).
She then went from there and has sold over 200 items, generating a tidy profit.
Claire's side hustle has taken her all over San Francisco, which she says made her "fall in love" with the city.

She says her side hustle can be "quite passive" as a lot of time is spent online trying to find the next deal.
“I wake up at 6:50am and see if I have messages from potential buyers,” she shares.
"I spend about an hour seeing what's been posted overnight. I go to work and then on my lunch-break I keep searching for stuff. And then after work I go back and answer questions for people and look at what's trending.
"I probably spend about five or six hours a day on this.
"You can do it as you're watching TV, it's not like having a side hustle like delivering stuff."
After acquiring a new piece of furniture, Claire styles the item in her apartment which she says is "super important".
Claire says: "The set up makes the most difference to a good sale.
"People want to see things set-up in a neutral background, or a trendy rug underneath.
"You're showing people how it could be styled but not alienating too many people.
"When I first got the garage, it was tough to figure out why things weren't selling and it was because people don't want to see it on a concrete floor so I got some wallpaper and a nice rug and then things began to sell.
"Staging is super important but I find people can be pretty blunt on these online marketplaces so what I try and do is give good customer service.
"I want them to feel like they're getting as good as or even better than what they'd get from a store"
Claire has come across some beautiful pieces and says it's hard to not to keep everything.
But the constant rotation of furniture allows her and her partner to "rent" items temporarily.
She says: "I love furniture design and styling. I think that's how I know I should probably sell it if I want to keep it."
