If you're fortunate and diligent, you'll encounter people in your field that are just supremely knowledgable about the details, and willing to talk about them. Audrey Navarro, the Managing Partner of Clemons Real Estate in Kansas City, is one of those people. I've found Audrey to be incredibly nice and pleasant to talk with, but also very ruthless (in a good way) with the numbers and the realities of real estate and development.In this episode, we trace her path that started from a simple duplex house hack, to now running a company with hundreds of apartments, commercial properties and even a construction arm. I particularly love how she says, “We sell math, not buildings. If you can get creative with the math, you can do just about anything.”Audrey and her firm have also endeavored to work in the “supportive housing” world, and we talk about the trials and tribulations, as well as the possibilities, for anyone taking on that ask. Lastly, we talk about WIRED, which is a very cool effort to encourage women to be more involved in the real estate business.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Beau went from flying Blackhawk helicopters in the Army to achieving financial independence in his 30s through a diversified investment strategy that goes way beyond basic index funds. Beau built wealth through real estate, and savvy use of military benefits while still crushing it in traditional markets. But here's what makes his story even more powerful - he's living proof that you CAN retire early in just ten years if you save and invest strategically.

Multiple streams of income that comfortably cover his lifestyle — all without tapping his retirement accounts.

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.     00:00 How Jessie “accidentally” became a landlord 05:00 Childhood lessons & early money mindset 10:00 Buying her first property with $3K in savings 15:00 House hacking + quitting her job with no plan 20:00 From wholesaling to long-term rentals 25:00 Learning the BRRRR method & building systems 30:00 Managing properties + walking away from bad deals    

What if you didn't need a trust fund, rich family, or perfect timing to build financial freedom through real estate? In this episode, I'm joined by Jessie Lang, a self-taught investor who turned a crappy condo into a 70+ rental portfolio—and a freedom-filled life on her own terms. Jessie shares how she house-hacked her way into investing (before she even knew what house hacking was), how she scaled her portfolio using the BRRRR method, and why she believes clarity comes from action—not waiting until you feel ready. We talk systems, screening mistakes, SWAT teams (yes, really), and how she now works fewer hours per week managing 73 rentals than she did managing her first three. If you're dreaming of breaking out of the 9-to-5 and creating a lifestyle rooted in freedom, strategy, and self-trust, this episode is packed with relatable wisdom and tactical steps to get you started. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How Jessie scaled from house hacking to managing 70+ long-term rentals ✅ What the BRRRR method is—and how to use it to build wealth ✅ Jessie's biggest early mistakes (and how she recovered from them) ✅ Why you don't need to “feel ready” to get started ✅ How to go from overwhelmed landlord to systems-driven investor ✅ The wild story of a SWAT team raid—and what it taught her about screening tenants ✅ Why creating freedom means building repeatable systems, not hustling harder ✅ The power of showing up in the right rooms (and how it changes everything) Resources & Links:
