After 17 years of being together, middle school sweethearts Kyle and Allie Fugatt embarked on an exciting journey into real estate in 2019.

Fast forward sixteen months later, and both have retired from their respective careers to pursue investing full-time. Now, Kyle and Allie cohost over 15 properties, own a boutique hotel, own a construction and holdings company, and run a capital-raising company for large STR investment properties.

As a child, she had no money and built her portfolio to eight figures while creating a life on her terms. Today, she helps hundreds of others do the same.

I am a part of Gobundance and was involved in leadership for two years. I met you on the STR GB call. I own 6 STRs.
