In this inspiring episode of Pivot to Prosperity, Ginny welcomes Diana Lin, a former architect turned multifamily real estate investor, to share her remarkable journey. Based in Dallas-Fort Worth, Diana recounts her shift from a decade-long architecture career to becoming a full-time investor and syndicator.

Discover the lessons Diana learned from multifamily value-add projects, her passion for development, and how her architectural background gave her a unique edge in real estate.
