What does it take for a crime scene cleaning queen to become a real estate powerhouse?
This is the exact question we answer in this episode!
This week, we will be sitting down with the brilliant Laura Spaulding, a crime scene franchisor, former law enforcement officer, veteran, and real estate investor.
Yes, Laura wears a lot of hats, and she does it well.
Laura started a crime scene cleaning business as a side job and turned it into a franchise with over 50 locations nationally. 
But that’s not all she does!
Laura also boasts an impressive real estate portfolio. She purchases crime scene homes, turns them into beautiful properties, and flips them for profit. She is also currently writing her first memoir (which we can’t wait to read).
Today, Laura will be discussing her incredible journey, creative financing, the cost of her very first property, why she decided to merge crime scene cleaning and real estate investing, and more.
Are you ready?
Let’s dive in.
