134. Burnt Out to Bought In: A Nurse's Journey to Financial Independence Through Real Estate | Stacey Stegenga, RN

Stacey Stegenga wasn’t always a real estate investor, she was a nurse. But not just any nurse, Stacey was a flight nurse, helping transport military patients across the US. When she wasn’t away for flight nursing, she picked up travel nursing, moving around the US for months at a time to provide medical care wherever needed. She finally ended up in Denver to be close to family and grow some roots, but her pay was painfully cut in half . After educating herself intensely, she took the risk and jumped into real estate investing. Stacey was able to build an 8 unit portfolio in just 18 months and became a passive investor in a syndication! She now has experience with out-of-state investing, building a team, raising private capital, and mid-term rentals, all of which have worked out generously in her favor. Stacey’s love for real estate investing stems from supplementing her salary as a full-time nurse. She is passionate about improving healthcare and advocates for legislation to change the harmful work environment that so many healthcare professionals are forced to tolerate.
