Episode – Featuring Dumisani (“Dumi”) Thomsen

This week, we sit down with Twin Cities investor Dumisani Thomsen, who—together with his wife Kaylee—has built a portfolio of five small multifamily properties and a townhome rental, many of which they acquired while house hacking as a growing family. Their story is a great look at how everyday people can scale into meaningful ownership by taking smart, incremental risks, staying patient, and learning from each step. Dumi shares how their investing journey evolved over time, including the strategies that worked early, the pivots they made as their family changed, and how they approached financing and management along the way.

Dumi opens up about recent challenges, what he wishes he’d learned sooner, and how he and Kaylee think about their next phase of growth. We also discuss Adam’s recent experience raising private financing on his hoarder-house BRRRR project, and how creative capital can help newer investors unlock bigger opportunities. Keep an eye out for next week’s episode featuring Dumi’s wife, Kaylee, who will share her perspective on investing and doing life + business as a team.
