What does it take to scale from a house hacker to owning 75 rental units—without deep pockets and during a high-interest rate environment?
In this episode, Jesse Lang breaks down her journey from “accidental landlord” to full-time real estate investor. Starting with a $92,000 condo in Austin, TX, she began house hacking before moving into long-term rentals, wholesaling, and eventually mastering the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat).
Jesse shares exactly how she built momentum, how she leveraged private money and hard money lenders, and why she’s tripled her portfolio in just a few short years—all while managing properties remotely with a lean team in Columbus, Ohio.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
