What does it take to build a real estate portfolio while also building a life you love? In this episode of the Built For This Podcast, hosts Alissa Bickar and Andrea Lane sit down with long-time real estate investor Pegie Brandt, who bought her very first property at just 16 years old.

Pegie shares how her early start, time in the savings and loan industry, and years of experience in retail, property management, and construction shaped her unique approach to investing. She talks about her passion for real estate, why negotiating lights her up, and how learning to let go of homes and identities has been one of her biggest growth lessons.

Listeners will hear Pegie’s advice on navigating capital gains laws, redefining success on your own terms, and her latest project aimed at helping seniors stay in their homes while partnering with investors.

If you’ve ever felt stuck holding onto the wrong property — or even the wrong vision of success — Pegie’s story is a reminder that sometimes letting go is the key to moving forward.
