Kaylee Thomsen is a real estate investor based in Plymouth, Minnesota, who has built a portfolio of mostly small multifamily properties alongside her husband, Dumi — a past guest on the show. Together, they’ve house hacked multiple times with their family while growing a mix of long-term, medium-term, and short-term rentals. Over the years, real estate has given Kaylee firsthand experience balancing investing, marriage, family life, and the constant evolution that comes with building a portfolio.

In this episode, Kaylee talks openly about the mindset shifts she’s experienced throughout her investing journey, the relationship and family dynamics that come with real estate ownership, and the emotional highs and lows that happen along the way. Her perspective is thoughtful, honest, and grounded in the reality that building wealth through real estate can be both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging.
