Megan Talbot - From 0-18 Units In 2 Years, Learn How She Profits From Problem Properties

If you've ever had the opportunity to meet Megan at the meetups, you know she's got more tenacity than most. After obtaining her Master's in Education and being immersed in the educational sector 20 years, she is ready to make a difference in Vermont's communities in a new way.

Megan began her investing journey in 2021 when she bought a single-family home which included an accessory dwelling unit. She house hacked that property for two years, and ended up walking away with a total of three units at this location. In 2022, she bought a single-family home in Burke as her foray into short-term rental ownership. 2023 brought the purchase of a multifamily building in Brattleboro, which will be utilized as long-term affordable housing once construction is complete. Looking to the future, Megan will be focusing on creative strategies to acquire and develop multi-family properties.

Her priority is to provide clean, safe housing to Vermont locals and tourists alike. She co-founded Lean Capital in fall 2023 along with Mady Marquardt and Mike Cohen with an eye toward this vision. The company's underlying mission is to strategically purchase and hold multi-family rentals by applying lean manufacturing principles to real estate, with the goal of exceeding expectations for guests, renters, sellers, and investors. They're in the process of acquiring a 5-property portfolio and are looking to expand operations across the state of Vermont.
