In this episode of the REsimpli podcast, Sharad Mehta interviews Erika Brown, a multifaceted real estate investor and coach based in Atlanta, Georgia. Erika shares her journey from working in the banking industry to becoming a full-time real estate agent and investor. Initially seeking a stable income while transitioning from her 9-to-5 job, she discovered her passion for real estate through helping friends and clients find properties.
Erika's first investment came through creative problem-solving, where she collaborated with an investor client to close a deal, eventually using that experience to grow her rental portfolio in Atlanta and Texas. Over time, she diversified her ventures into flipping properties, co-founding a real estate brokerage, running a landscaping business, and coaching aspiring investors. Erika emphasizes the value of taking risks and learning from failures, highlighting that a mindset shift is often necessary for success in real estate.
She also discusses the advantages of being both an investor and a real estate agent, providing her clients with unique insights and opportunities. Erika's coaching and mentorship focus on helping beginners get their first deal while offering advanced support through a mastermind program for more experienced investors. Looking ahead, Erika aims to grow her portfolio and become more passive in her investments, ultimately creating a legacy of financial freedom.
Erika's passion for education drives her to build a platform that supports women and minorities in real estate. She shares her love for travel and family experiences, and her goal is to continue expanding her impact through education while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
