From Lawyer to Developer with Medina Jett

What does it take to walk away from a thriving legal career to go all-in on real estate development?

In this episode of The Property Profits Podcast, Dave Dubeau sits down with Medina Jett—an experienced real estate investor and developer with over 35 years in the business. Medina shares how she transitioned from practicing law to launching and scaling her real estate development company.

She opens up about her rocky start with rentals, her pivot into Section 8 housing for stability, and how she built a portfolio that eventually replaced her legal income. Medina also dives into her current deals, including a 50-home subdivision and a 64-unit multifamily acquisition, and explains the realities of development timelines, raising capital through syndication, and the importance of having cash-flowing assets like Airbnbs to support long-term plays.

Listeners will also hear how Medina is building a family legacy by working alongside her daughters and the mindset shift it takes to move from small flips to large-scale developments.

If you’re thinking about scaling your real estate business, moving into development, or leaving your 9-to-5, this episode offers hard-won lessons and practical insights from someone who’s done exactly that.
