This is my journey to personal & financial freedom.

how we got here

2010

My husband, Noah, and I got engaged in May. In October, we started our first LLC together to buy foreclosures, fix them up and sell them.  As of November, we had bought our first foreclosure property for $42,000.

2011

In January, we bought five rental properties and another couple of foreclosures to fix and flip.  As of September 17, we were officially Mr. & Mrs. Hurley!

2015

Hurley Homes LLC, our home building company, was born. We built two custom homes in our first year. This was also the year that an 18-month subdivision plan went down the drain and we lost $150,000.

2014

I quit my full time, salaried job and took the leap to become a full time entrepreneur.  I got my real estate and brokers licenses (mostly to sell our own fix and flip homes).

2016

Our daughter, Tesla, was born. And, we built 12 custom homes this year!

2019

Introducing Hurley, party of 4! This year, our son, Jace, made his entrance into the world. With a baby on my hip, I attended the RISE Business Conference hosted by Rachel Hollis with Marie Forleo, Amy Porterfield, Ed Mylett, Trent Shelton, and so many other inspirational business moguls!

2020

In the midst of a pandemic,  we hit our first $1,000,000 year in business. We officially reached the mark of 'financial freedom' where our monthly passive income covered our cost of living. With this financial success, we simultaneously hit a point of massive burnout.

2021

We shifted gears and put a pause on new custom home building projects. I started business coaching, writing my first manuscript, and began lots of inner healing work.

2022

The Building Dreams Co. brand was launched and we hosted our first ever business conference. And, I finished writing my first book (coming soon!)

me and Rach!

2017

We built a total of 17 custom homes this year, and continued building 17-20 homes annually for the next few years.
