Episode 40: Real Estate Investing: Secrets to Building Wealth and Earning Travel Points
Description
What if your real estate expenses could pay for your next luxury vacation? In this episode of Prescription to Travel MD, Dr. Courtney Downes sits down with Jaina Pallasigui to uncover exactly how she turned everyday property expenses into millions of travel points.
Jaina shares how she got started in real estate, the lightbulb moment that changed how she approached renovations, and the creative ways she now stacks credit card bonuses to travel the world nearly free. From co-hosting Airbnbs to arranging corporate housing, she reveals the hidden opportunities real estate investors (and business owners) often overlook when it comes to earning points and miles.
This episode is equal parts practical and personal. Jaina opens up about her family’s health challenges and how points have allowed her to say “yes” to experiences—like a healing retreat for her sister in Big Sur and a dream trip to Japan for her parents—that money alone might not have made possible.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
The smartest credit card strategies for real estate expenses
How to maximize points through renovations, software, and even property taxes
Why points aren’t just about free flights but about freedom and flexibility
How entrepreneurs can use points to reward teams and boost morale
If you’ve ever wondered how to travel better, build wealth smarter, and create memories that last a lifetime, this conversation will change the way you think about both money and travel.
