#32 - A Financial Advisor’s Frugal Path to Freedom w/ Scott Jensen

Twin Cities Real Estate Investing Show #32 

"A Financial Advisor's Frugal Path to Freedom" w/ Scott Jensen

 

What does a financial advisor actually invest in? For Scott Jensen, the answer might surprise you. A lifelong DIYer and frugality-focused wealth builder, Scott has spent years advising others on how to make smart financial decisions — all while quietly building his own real estate portfolio on the side. But recently, he made a major shift: selling off his physical properties and transitioning into more passive, less hands-on investments so he can spend more time with his family. In this episode, we talk through the “why” behind that move, the tax code strategies he’s using, and how his perspective on risk and control has evolved as his priorities have shifted.

Scott’s not just numbers on a spreadsheet — he lives this stuff. From Airbnbing his house when he travels, to fixing his own toilets, to saying no to lifestyle creep, Scott brings a practical, grounded approach to wealth-building that challenges a lot of mainstream assumptions. Whether you’re deep into real estate or just trying to figure out how to build financial freedom without losing your sanity, this conversation will give you tools, perspective, and permission to do things your own way.
