The problem is not a lack of resources. It's a lack of resourcefulness. - Tony Robbins

I hear from so many women that they'd LOVE to get into real estate investing, but there's always an excuse why they think they can't invest now. I'm going to be honest. I’m tired of the excuses.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand why so many women hold back. Real estate can be intimidating, especially when you look around a male-dominated room. All the moving pieces, figuring out the money, thoughts of dealing with the 3 Ts (tenants, toilets, termites), not being sure who to trust, not knowing where you'll find the time - I understand.

But, here’s the thing. There is a way for any goddess (regardless of budget or situation) to get into the game of real estate investing. My mission is to help one million women create financial freedom through real estate investing, and I'm obsessed with making it happen. That's why I've packed all the possible resources and support I can find into our...

Ready to be inspired? It's time for a Goddess Spotlight!

I want to introduce you to members of our community who are successfully building their real estate portfolios and are on their way to financial freedom. Some are relatively new, while others have been at it for a while.

These goddesses invest in almost every niche imaginable, and they ALL have a lot of insight to share!

Today, I'm sharing my interview with Donna Byron - our Wealthy Goddess last May!

Here’s a recap of what we talked about:

• Donna had been investing before she found Real Estate Investor Goddesses, but she had been going slowly (about 1 deal per year for 5 years.) She really wanted to accelerate, but she didn't know what she didn't know!
• She heard about the Virtual Wealth Through Real Estate Event on a podcast and bought a ticket. It was deep, transformative, and connecting -- even for an introvert like her!
• The big lesson she learned about being around people who are...

Brene Brown said it - “If you’re not in the arena getting your butt kicked too, I’m not interested in your feedback”.

When I invite experts to speak to the goddesses in my Wealthy Goddess Program, I look for people who have fought my fight and won. Leaders who experience and speak to the highs and lows of investing instead of pretending they have all the answers. Women who are in the game, in the arena, right now.

Last August 9th South Africa celebrated National Women’s Day in honor of the more than 20,000 women who shifted the course of history for their nation when they marched for social justice in 1956. They understood the importance of being brave and getting into the arena. These women also understood the power of standing together, raising each other up, and walking together.

Within the REIG community, I know that often we need to know how other women are handling the challenges of the real estate industry - financially, socially, in our...

How are you managing your finances? Do you hire someone to do this for you? Do you do this yourself?

Being aware of your finances is KEY to living a financially free life. It's so important to know where your income is coming from, what your expenses are, what you can write off, and what your profit is. Being aware of these numbers can help you uplevel your financial circumstance to live the life of your dreams!

Something truly miraculous happens when you start measuring and tracking your finances. So use today as inspiration to get started!!

I'd love to know- what practices do you have in place to ensure that you always have financial awareness?

Get creative in real estate investing! If everyone is doing the same thing, it will be competitive and expensive for you. So try to think outside of the box instead.

For example, hotels weren't doing so well during the peak of Covid because people were not traveling. Therefore, a lot of hotel owners were trying to sell their property. However, a lot of investors are looking to purchase apartment buildings so their tenants can pay their mortgage and they can live for free. If you allow yourself to think creatively as an investor, you may be able to think of a new, creative solution that no one has tried before. What if, instead of doing what everyone else was doing, you purchased a hotel, at a low cost, and turned it into apartments? Then you can purchase it for a low cost and be able to make a lucrative cash flow from it. THIS is how thinking creatively can help you get ahead in real estate investing.

Most investors are looking down the fork in the road and deciding if they should...

Back in 2005, Candace Bushnell (the author who brought Sex in the City to life) told an interviewer this quote. Bushnell had a point. Women are bombarded with limiting beliefs about money from childhood on - from media, movies, magazines, and, often, our own families.

But, you? You have the opportunity to interrupt that cycle for your family. Real estate offers the opportunity to step through the door of investment opportunity.

The United Nations found that when we economically empower women, we find improved productivity and economic diversification. The world is better when women have the money and power that Bushnell pointed out as uncomfortable.

Inside the Real Estate Investor Goddess program, we tackle the tough topics with support and community. The I shared a FB Live on Women, Power and Money -- two things we need to do to get comfortable with having more power and money.

Let's get you over any discomfort or limiting beliefs. The world needs...

On average, women see better results in real estate investing and yet there are significantly less women involved in this field. Why is that? I believe it's a lack of awareness and education on what investing in real estate really is, and fear of this male-dominated space. Women can be extremely successful in this field if they allow themselves to show up.

So if you are interested in living a financially free life, please comment below. I'd love to help you reach financial freedom through real estate investing!

I wish I could go back and speak to myself from 2016. The decisions that she made, the risks she took, the learning that she did set up the 2021 me to make the most of this year: time with my family, prioritized self-care, and joyfully chasing my goal to inspire 1 million women in real estate.

If I could go back, I’d tell her the work and investment was worth it.

I remember those first thoughts about what was possible through real estate for me and my family.

I remember realizing that the rat race didn’t have to be MY path.

I remember my first real estate mastermind - when I was the only woman at the table with 18 men.

I remember seeing people doing seven and eight+ figure real estate deals for the first time, and then the breathless disbelief when I signed contracts to do my own.

Past me was scared and full of doubts, but nevertheless, she made her decisions to invest in her education and growth, and she took step after step in the direction of her dreams.

In fact,...

It's true! Not all debt is bad debt. I don't recommend getting debt to buy consumer goods (clothes, shoes, cosmetics, etc). However, secured debt for investment purposes is a great way to go much further, faster. That's how the wealthy build wealth and accelerate growth. Here's an example:

You borrow 80% for the purchase of an investment property at 4% and after you put in tenants and pay all property expenses, including your loan, you're still cash-flowing. Your tenant is paying down your debt through their rent and you're making money off the money you borrowed. Additionally, your loan interest payments are tax deductible! That's why I LOVE this kind of debt.
