Investing in real estate is one of the biggest purchases of your life and shouldn't be taken lightly.

This is why you must protect yourself, financially and most importantly, legally.

-Where attorneys come in during the closing process

I get tons of questions on REITs so I decided to create an episode for it!

The biggest misconception potential investors ask me, is if they can still invest in REITs AND be a homeowner? The answer is yes.

REITs do not impact your credit score or any other area of your finances. They exist separately, which means that you can invest in both and they won't negatively impact you.

In fact, REITs are required to pay 90% of it's re...

One of the many reasons I left my home (Cali) is because I wanted to invest in real estate with less money.

A lot of you probably feel the same and that’s why I invited my girlllllllfriend (*cues Girlfriends intro music) Jessica (Host of @prettygirlsloverealestate podcast) on to talk about how to buy and manage real estate property from out of state.

Jessica has been investing in all types of real estate for years and her first p...

There are many reasons why now is a good time to buy in the Los Angeles real estate market. Not only are interest rates down, but the weather, nature, location and overall healthy lifestyle are big draws of the city.

I know, I know. We’re in a pandemic and it has impacted everyone differently. Some have lost a lot, like their employment for example. However, some have gained during this time and/or have been unaffected at all. If yo...

You've closed on your home but what's next? Homeowner expenses.

This week, I invited Lynn Charles on to discuss her journey of homebuying and home owning. Not only does she highlight her biggest lesson, but she also offers insight into:

1. The biggest shock she experienced after moving in
2. Big "one time" expenses she had to pay for
3. Recurring expenses that you should budget for now
4. The disastrous experience her ho...

Purchasing a home is going to cost you, and that’s before you even step foot into it as the owner.

When I started my homebuying process, I was unaware of many things that I was responsible for like inspections, title search fees etc. However, I quickly realized that obtaining these would save me time, money and a future headache so I was willing to invest a lot to ensure that my investment would generate the ROI (equity) I needed. I...

A few weeks ago, I watched a documentary called Segregated By Design and it really blew my mind.

It really just reaffirmed that the black history of real estate is very complicated. From being seen as property, to attempting to buy property, to faulty lending practices, to the widening racial wealth gap - it's deep.

With everything that's going on right now (my heart goes out to Breonna Taylor's family), I figured that it...

Imagine hearing about a whole town for sale and actually purchasing a portion of it? 👏🏾👏🏾

That’s exactly what Ashley (@ashleyscottkw on IG) and Renee (front_page_nay on IG) of Freedom Georgia Initiative (@freedomga2020 on IG).

I had the pleasure of hearing the story of these visionaries and left the conversation inspired to do the same in my hometown. We will probably start with a building thou...

Is now a good time to buy in Atlanta? The answer is yes.

I know, I know. We’re in a pandemic and it has impacted everyone differently. Some have lost a lot, like their employment for example. However, some have gained during this time and/or have been unaffected at all. If you fall into the latter, then now is the time to put some action behind your homebuying dreams - mainly because interest rates are lower than they have been in a...

2020 has been rough, but it’s also been a blessing.

With all of this time at home, i’ve really been able to sit and examine my money. This forced me to realize that I not only was wasting A LOT of money. I also realized I was sleeping on a lot of gifts that I have since started.

If you’re anything like me and want to be honest with where you are financially, I encourage you to check out my Episode 16 where I talk in detail about some...

Have you prepared your mindset AND finances for real estate investing?

Trust me, it’s necessary to do both because the journey will be tough!

Have you ever thought about renting out a portion of your home for profit?

That’s exactly what my guest Myka of Sharebnb has been able to do. In fact, he built a successful business out of it which helps him to generate wealth and live life on his own terms. The best part is that it’s passive!

These are all of the things I discussed this week with Kendra Barnes of The Key Resource. Kendra is the OG when it comes to this and she’s been able to do it successfully with househacking.
