In this episode of Unfiltered, Dylan Scroggins talks with Katie Linkous, President of Freedom Investment Group, about building a multi-company real estate business while keeping people at the center of property management. Katie shares her journey from working as an ICU nurse to becoming a real estate investor and leader of five companies.
They dive into how Freedom Investment Group has built a business around property management, construction, brokerage, and nonprofit housing initiatives, including their work providing housing for people facing barriers to traditional housing. Katie also shares how her team approaches accountability, company culture, and creating a better experience for owners, tenants, and employees.
The conversation also explores AI and technology, including how Freedom Investment Group uses tools like Claude and Rent Engine to increase capacity and give their team more time to focus on the “people things.” Katie discusses the changing property management landscape, the importance of proving the value of professional management, and why she sees the future of the industry as an opportunity.
