Key Points:
“Experience and exposure usually dictate who we show up as.”
“There is no bad time to start.”
“It’s nice to have a well-rounded portfolio. It’s good to have things in different pie shapes around the circle of your entire portfolio. But, certainly, real estate should be part of it, in anybody’s portfolio.”
“The biggest lesson out of the gate is to not get in your own way. I think sometimes we can overthink what we are trying to do…”
“What a lot of folks don’t realize is you can buy a second home with 10% down on an owner occupant rate, not an investment rate, and it doesn’t require the 20% down that typically an investment property does.”
“My super simple rule of thumb is [to make] $350 or better a month [on a property].”
“Naturally women are in this mindset of safety and security. If you are that woman, just understand that real estate is a very safe investment.”
“At the end of the day [you say] ‘I’m taking control of my future, my family’s future.’”
