Imagine saying goodbye to your 9-to-5 grind before you even hit 40—April Crossley did just that, and in this episode, she's spilling the secrets on how real estate investment became her golden ticket to early retirement. April's journey from healthcare to house-flipping is as compelling as it is instructive, and she's not shy about sharing the highs and lows of her path to success. From acquiring mobile home parks to mastering multifamily properties, April opens up her playbook on building a real estate portfolio that works as hard as she does. Her brainchild, Lazy Girl Real Estate Investing, isn't just a catchy name—it's her philosophy for smarter, not harder, wealth-building strategies that she's eager to put in your hands.

April and I indulge in the lighter side of life, sharing our mutual love for chocolate and the sweet escape of travel—like the lure of Arizona's winter warmth or the life-changing experience of traversing the U.S. in an RV. We also touch on the profound importance of family and community, how April re-centered her life around her loved ones, and why making time for those connections is as crucial as any business deal.
