In this episode, Rachel Orvis shares how she and her husband ventured into real estate investing as part of their journey toward financial independence. A mother of (soon to be) four and the co-owner of an 8-unit property, Rachel talks about buying a fixer-upper, dealing with unexpected tenant challenges, and the lessons she’s learned from trusting advisors over gut instincts.
Rachel also opens up about balancing family, finances, and big real estate moves—like closing on a property with a newborn and navigating cast iron plumbing issues on a multi-unit property. Her strategy? Listening, researching, and staying open to expert guidance, even when it feels counterintuitive.
