Hey everyone, welcome back to The Freedom Blueprint! I'm Adrienne Green, and today’s episode is for every investor who's juggling family life, finances, and freedom goals.

I’m joined by Sarah Bratcher — a real estate investor, mom of three, and bookkeeping pro — who went from drowning in debt to owning 5 doors, midterm rentals, and a laundromat. She shares how she found her first off-market deal, the strategy behind rural investing, and the money mindset shifts that helped her go from surviving to scaling.

In this episode of The Freedom Blueprint, I sit down with Alex Steeg—a short-term rental strategist who scaled from zero dollars and zero properties to managing 40+ STRs.

🎯 Inside this episode:

The one mindset shift that took him from grad student to STR operator

How he underwrites STR deals in today’s economy

The #1 mistake that kills bookings (and how to fix it fast)
