Send us a text

What if you could earn steady rental income without ever having to fix a leaky faucet or chase down a tenant? In this episode, Steven chats with Lindsay Davis, CEO of Spartan Invest, as she explains how her team helps busy professionals build real estate income through fully managed, turnkey single-family homes. No landlord duties. No guesswork. Just a clear process that handles everything from buying and renovating the home to managing it long-term. We talk about how they keep things simple, what kind of returns you can expect, how they lock in 5.5% rates even today, and what questions you should ask before working with any turnkey provider. If you’ve ever said, “I want to invest, but I don’t have time,” this one's for you.
Lindsay Davis is the Broker and Founder of Spartan Realty. She graduated Cum Laude from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and Business Management. After graduation, she quickly moved up the ranks at Cintas in Tuscaloosa, AL, landing multiple management positions. Shortly thereafter, she joined her business partners and helped co-found Spartan Invest; a growing investment company that specializes in the purchase, renovation, and resell of properties. As Broker of Spartan Realty, Lindsay oversees the purchase and resell of over 300 properties a year in Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Lindsay's true passion is bringing properties back to life. She works tirelessly to take distressed properties that have lost their functional use in our community and make them useful, comfortable homes for Birmingham residents.
