About Lindsay Lovell

Lindsay had an explosive, successful start in real estate investing. In just the first 18 months, Lindsay scaled from zero to 36 doors, reaching her goal of financial freedom along the way. She started with a focus on the BRRRR method, and then quickly expanded into flips, STRs, joint ventures, and passive investments. Now, only two years later, her portfolio consists of 57 long-term rentals and 15 short-term rentals. Scaling this quickly involved leveraging various creative financing strategies including hard money loans, tapping into equity from BRRRRs, forming relationships with local banks, and even utilizing a self-directed IRA and self-directed Roth IRA.

Lindsay recently co-founded G-VI Capital Management, LLC which has over $15M in assets within 3 funds under management. The unique opportunity that G-VI Capital Management offers to investors is access to all the benefits of investing in various markets, with a blend of vacation rentals and long-term rentals, without any of the workload it takes to successfully run rentals. Additionally, Lindsay co-founded Wanderlust Stays, a co-hosting/vacation rental management company that oversees properties across the country.

Along this journey, Lindsay started The Millionaire’s March coaching, which has been able to bring to life her passion for helping other women learn how to reach financial independence.

She lives in San Francisco with her husband, Cory, and their two dogs Paxton and Piper. When not working on real estate, you can find Lindsay skydiving with Cory horseback riding, or traveling.

About Jim Manning

Jim's first job out of school was working for a self-made billionaire. He had the private jets and every material thing you could ever want. Unfortunately, the billionaire was absolutely miserable. So 15 years ago, Jim set out to find a way to become financially free without sacrificing his personal life.

The passive income that real estate has provided has allowed Jim to own 3 multi-million dollar real estate companies, work a balanced schedule, parent 4 kids under 9 and even coach multiple teams, and invest in over $250 million in properties.

Along the way, Jim discovered that he also had a knack for creating financial freedom for others. He's now on a mission to show others how to generate passive income from real estate without doing any of the work.
