In this episode, Nat gets real about how she turned a total dump of a house into her first six-figure success — long before she was a licensed REALTOR®, and while juggling three jobs. From pulling nicotine-stained wallpaper to dodging eviction fears and navigating the realities of solo homeownership, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the real beginnings of her real estate journey.

Listeners will hear all about the unfiltered highs and lows:

• The power-of-sale property she bought solo in her 20s
• How saving (not splurging) made all the difference
• Renovation nightmares
• Staying on budget with scratch & dent appliances
• The ROI of kitchens, bathrooms, and backyard renos
• When to actually sell, and what upgrades are worth it
• Why “ugly houses need love too” is more than just a cute saying

With raw reflections, renovation tips, and a dose of inspiration, Nat proves you don’t need to be rich to build wealth — you just need vision, grit, and a good washer/dryer (even if you end up leaving it behind).
