On Slumdogg Millionaires, Desiree Doggett and Kayla Lamb sit down with Marc Cunningham of Grace Property Management to discuss scaling a property management business, client attrition, acquisitions, organic growth, and exit planning.

Would one bad real estate deal make you quit or change how you invest?

Florida Realtor® Desiree Doggett manages 350+ doors across the Suncoast and brings 13+ years of local experience. On Slumdogg Millionaires, Desiree and co-host Kayla Lamb join John Casmon to discuss house hacking, a $25,000 contractor loss, and investing through setbacks.

Learn how to strengthen your rental property strategy through clearer tenant boundaries, contractor checks, and lessons from difficult deals.

🎙️ Hosts & Guest

Hosts: Desiree Doggett and Kayla LambGuest: John Casmon

• Keep tenant requests manageable by setting communication boundaries when living on-site.
