What if your journey to financial freedom began with a Craigslist roommate and a condo covered in shag carpet?
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jessie Lang, a woman who accidentally found her way into real estate and went on to build a thriving investment business. Jessie didn’t come from wealth and didn’t have a roadmap. But she took one intentional step at a time, starting with renting out a spare room, and that small move sparked everything.
We talk about how she walked away from her W-2 job with no backup plan, built a portfolio of 75 rental doors, and now empowers others to build wealth through real estate. Jessie’s story is honest, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. You just need to take that first step.
