Hosted by Desiree Doggett and Kayla Lamb, the Slumdogg Millionaires podcast is where real-world investing meets practical execution.

Insights on Florida property management, Sarasota investment properties, and sustainable approaches to creating passive income real estate, without the hype.

From Cars to Cash Flow: Why We Started SlumDogg Millionaires

Welcome to the very first episode of Slumdogg Millionaires, where hosts Desiree Dogget and Kayla Lamb share their messy, unconventional, and highly successful journeys into the world of real estate investing. In this introductory episode, the slumdoggmillionaires story proves that you don’t need to be a trust fund baby or come from a wealthy real estate family to build an empire. Kayla shares her inspiring path of moving out at 16, living in her car, and accidentally falling into property management while waiting tables at Chili’s. Desiree recounts her wild journey of getting deported from Taiwan, working for a relocation firm in Costa Rica, and surviving the 2008 housing crash. Along the way, they offer a few hilarious and terrifying “property management horror stories” and reveal the core mission of this podcast: to demystify real estate investing, show there is no "one right way" to succeed, and help you survive, thrive, and retire by 45!

SlumDogg Millionaires was created to make real estate investing feel less scary and more accessible. As working moms and property managers, we share honest stories about building portfolios, juggling family and business, and learning from the chaos of this industry. Each episode also spotlights a charity chosen by our guests, so we can give back to the communities we serve while reminding investors and property managers that they’re not alone—and that health matters just as much as wealth.
