Ashley Hamilton was living paycheck-to-paycheck when she decided she wanted to buy real estate.
In 2009, she used her $7,000 tax return to purchase a $6,300 foreclosure in Detroit.
Since, she's scaled up to 35 units and is financially independent thanks to rental income.
Hamilton didn't have the cash at the time, but was anticipating a big tax return later that year.
Hamilton, 36, owns 35 units in Detroit, Michigan and is financially independent from her rental income.
