From a $120K Gamble to a 53-Unit Deal: Ian Lally’s Leap into Real Estate Freedom | E31

Ian Duffy

In this episode of the Scrubs2Estates Podcast, Ian sits down with Ian Lalley — a former salesman, rock climber, and musician who turned getting fired from multiple jobs into a launchpad for freedom. After putting his entire $120K savings on the line for a six-unit deal that almost fell apart, Ian doubled down instead of backing out. That decision led him to partner with Ranger Real Estate, where he helped scale operations from 100 to 700 units in a year. His story is a masterclass in betting on yourself, creating leverage through relationships, and designing a life that’s truly yours.
