098: Wealth Acceleration and Capital Preservation with Lindsey Duguet

Physicians who invest in real estate are uncommon. Instead, they tend to invest in the stock market--a more passive form of investing. Today’s guest took a different path, actively investing in real estate and pursuing financial freedom

On today’s episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan digs into Dr. Lindsey Duguet’s real estate investing journey. Lindsey is an ER physician, wife, mother of three small children, and a successful investor. Lindsey and her husband, Michael, got their start in real estate when Lindsey moved into an attending physician position and her income jumped significantly.

Jonathan and Lindsey explore how she and her husband scaled their investments over the past five years, why it’s important to be solution-oriented and have grit in real estate and the difficulties they initially faced when they purchased properties in a D neighborhood. Additionally, she outlines what she looks for in masterminds and meetups, how she and her husband locate investment properties, and her shift into multifamily assets. You’ll also hear why they branched into out-of-state properties, the power of choice she loves about having another income stream, and their next goals for their business.

Lindsey Duguet has a busy full-time career and a young family, but she and her husband made investing one of their priorities, and it’s paying off in spades. If you want to hear how to do the same, tune in for more of Lindsey’s advice on balancing family, work, and investing.
