We didn’t grow up talking about real estate investing over cafecito. In this episode, we’re spilling the real chisme on how we went from playing it safe with 401(k)s and savings accounts… to becoming rental property owners.

Violeta shares how a military VA loan (and a little accidental house hacking) kicked off her investing journey. Lindsey opens up about burning out as a nurse during the pandemic — and why that moment pushed her to chase financial freedom now, not at 65.

We talk about:

• The mindset shift from “playing it safe” to building real wealth
• How renting out a spare room turned into a strategy
• The fears we did have (and why we still went for it)
• Real estate vs. 401(k) cash flow — and why you don’t have to choose just one
• The power of confidence, comunidad, and using what you already know

This one’s for every amiga who’s been curious about real estate but thinks she has to be an expert to get started. You don’t need to know everything — you just need to start somewhere.
