It Only Takes a Few Deals to Reach FI w/ Catie Lawrence

The Real FI Podcast - Real Estate Investing to FI

In this episode, we have the pleasure of welcoming Catie Lawrence, a real estate investor and businesswoman based in Colorado. Catie shares her journey towards financial independence and the projects she's currently working on. She started in 2006 by house hacking and renting out a room in her primary residence on Airbnb. Catie was able to rent out the room for 30-60 days a year and make $3,000 annually, which covered a large portion of her living expenses. In 2015, Catie and her husband founded Happy Homes, Ltd., focusing on long-term rentals (LTRs) and medium-term rentals (MTRs), as well as flipping properties. Catie discusses her first flips, partnerships, and the decision to transition to LTRs. This episode is filled with valuable insights for those interested in real estate and achieving financial independence.
