How REI Baddies Began

How REI Baddies Began!

We met on a Deal Sauce Zoom hosted by Justin T—proof that “be open to meeting people in the community” is not a myth. We instantly connected, floated “what if we started a podcast?” …and it quickly leveled up into the REI Baddies Talk Show. We chose the show route because we knew we wouldn’t stop at interviews.

 

Two investors—Rachel Davis (Army veteran, author, operator) and Kate Baldwin (Key West native, Luxury Real Estate Agent, capital raiser)

 

—kept getting the same DMs: “Is creative finance real?” and “How do I find a buyer for this deal?” So we turned those questions into a show.

 

Our one rule: guests must have closed their We feature action-takers and guests who are actively building in real estate and entrepreneurship.—just real numbers, real scripts, and real mistakes you can learn from. As the community grew, we added quick-hit Deal Sauce tutorials (how to build lists and bird-dog for active buyers) and live Baddies After Dark pitch sessions.

 

Today, REI Baddies is a weekly, community-driven show where creative finance gets practical, beginners become doers, and first wins turn into repeatable playbooks for everyone.

Now, What We Do


We’re not all talk—we close deals. Here’s exactly what we do:

Buy & Hold (Co-Living):

We acquire, convert, and operate co-living assets to maximize cash flow and stability—yes, we have a clear buy box.

Wholesale & Creative Dispo:

We lock up deals and move them—assignments, novations, and clean exits to real buyers.

Capital & Private Lending:

We raise, structure, and place capital; we also lend—secured, underwritten, and built to close.

JV & Partnerships

Bring the deal or the dollars; we’ll bring operations, underwriting, dispo—or all of the above.
