Episode notes

If Lindsey Duguet can reach financial freedom, you can too. She was hundreds of thousands in debt from student loans, trying to raise a family with almost zero free time, working eighty-hour weeks, and failing to find financial footing. Now, just five years later, she’s financially free, owns over five hundred rentals, and works not because she has to but because she wants to. She’s scaled faster than almost anyone else we’ve interviewed, so tune in to hear her secrets!

Let’s address the elephant in the room. Lindsey Duguet is actually Dr. Lindsey Duguet, a physician who was the first in her family to attend college. After being told “you can’t do that” more times than she could count, Lindsey made it her mission to prove everyone wrong on her road to success. She got into medical school, nailed residency, became a doctor, and then built a massive passive income rental portfolio on the side to free up family time.

In this episode, Lindsey talks about what made her realize she couldn’t rely on a W2, why buying squatter-filled rentals for just $5,000 isn’t the best move to make, a MASSIVE BRRRR win that made her $300K (tax-free), and how to get “unstuck” when you feel like your real estate investing has hit a wall.
