Kate Lynch, the managing partner at Estate Barrels, shares her journey from a Wall Street investment banker to a successful real estate investor and, eventually, a partner in a bourbon investment venture. Faced with the challenge of balancing a demanding career and family life after having three children, Lynch transitioned into real estate to gain financial and time freedom.
She initially invested in multifamily properties in Cleveland, leveraging Airbnb for strong cash flow, and eventually diversified into vacation homes, though she found urban rentals more profitable and less hassle.
