During the second surge of the pandemic, the trend of people reevaluating their careers continues. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in South Florida, where people are exploring real estate as a career due to the historically hot market.

How to Find Motivated Sellers: Stop Chasing Deals and Start Creating Opportunities
One of the biggest mistakes I see real estate investors making is spending all of their time chasing deals instead of learning how to find motivated sellers and create opportunities. They search the MLS, connect with agents and wholesalers, look through online listings, check investor groups, and analyze properties that may be available right now. […]
Wholesaling Rules Are Changing: What Investors Need to Know
I’ve been in this business long enough to watch real estate investing go through several seasons. There was the season when no one had heard of wholesaling. We just called it flipping contracts, and most people looked at you sideways when you tried to explain what you were doing. Then came the season where everyone […]

The Real Reason Deals Fall Apart at Disposition Most investors focus all of their energy on the front end of their business: finding deals, marketing to sellers, and getting contracts signed. That’s important, but here’s the part people don’t realize. If you don’t have a reliable, ready-to-move buyer pool, your deal pipeline doesn’t matter nearly […]

Real Estate Investing Women
Investing Her Way💁♀️💕: Empowering Women to Real Estate Success, Freedom, & Wealth
I’m going to rant here a bit, but I feel like it’s needed…![]()
![]()
Last week, during a live workshop, I went through some of the real estate advice I still see taught all the time that is outdated, misunderstood, or simply doesn’t work the way people are told it does anymore.![]()
![]()
Later, during a hot seat, one woman told us, “Everything you just explained doesn’t work is exactly what I just spent thousands of dollars being taught to do.”![]()
![]()
She was BLEEDING money on outdated advice. Her words.![]()
![]()
Then the chat started going:![]()
![]()
“I was taught that too.”![]()
“Same.”![]()
“That’s exactly what they told me.”![]()
![]()
And this is exactly why I think choosing who you learn from deserves more attention.![]()
![]()
When you’re new, how would you know the difference? You’re paying someone because you DON’T know yet, so of course you trust that what they’re teaching works in today’s market.![]()
![]()
Before you invest, ask what the coaching actually looks like. Who answers your questions? Can someone look at YOUR deal? Is the material updated? What happens when you get stuck?![]()
![]()
Community matters, but most people invest thousands because they want to learn real estate, get support, and eventually CLOSE A DEAL.![]()
![]()
And if what you were taught isn’t working, it doesn’t automatically mean you didn’t try hard enough.![]()
![]()
Sometimes the strategy really is the problem.![]()
![]()
So please be picky about who you learn from. Talk to the women already inside, ask how the coaching works, and make sure the support you think you’re buying is the support you’ll actually receive.
Happy birthday to the one and only Liz!! 🩷🎉![]()

An amazing mother, sister, daughter, friend, and of course, the badass mentor so many women in REIW know and love.![]()

Liz has a way of making people feel supported, understood, and capable of so much more than they may see in themselves (and for that reason you should check out Liz Renee to keep up with her inspirational content!!) She leads with heart, tells it like it is, and is always willing to share what she’s learned to help another woman move forward 🩷![]()

We’re so lucky to have her at the heart of this community.![]()

Help us wish Liz the happiest birthday!! 🥳🩷
One of our favorite phrases we preach at Real Estate Investing Women is do it messy.![]()
![]()
Because waiting until you feel completely ready can keep you stuck for a long time. Sometimes you have to make the offer before you know exactly how it’ll be received, ask the question even if it feels a little uncomfortable, and trust that you’ll figure out the rest as you go.![]()
![]()
That’s how so much of real estate investing works anyway. You learn by doing, adjusting, negotiating, and trying again.![]()
![]()
So this month, give yourself permission to stop overthinking every move. Do it messy, make the ask, and see where it takes you 💫
I’ve had plenty of deals fall apart over the years, like one where a buyer signed the contract, went to see the property, agreed to everything, and then when it was time to put down the EMD… disappeared. Like completely disappeared lol.![]()
![]()
Earlier in my investing career, situations like that would send me into a complete panic because when you’re newer, every deal feels HUGE. You start counting on the money before it’s there, something goes wrong, and suddenly it feels like the entire deal is falling apart.![]()
![]()
After doing this for as long as I have, one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that you really cannot predict how a deal is going to go. Every property is different, every seller is different, every buyer is different.![]()
![]()
Those moments have probably taught me more about being an investor than the deals that went smoother because they forced me to learn how to think through problems instead of immediately panicking when something changed. Is there another buyer? Is there another way to structure this? What does the seller need? What can I do from here that could still make this work?![]()
![]()
Eventually, you learn that you cannot count the money until the deal has closed and the money is sitting in your account. Things happen, and learning how to keep moving when they do is where a lot of the grit and tenacity of being an investor comes from.![]()
![]()
I also think this is why genuinely wanting to help people is so vital in real estate. Of course we want to make money, but there are going to be plenty of deals where making the money requires caring enough to keep looking for an answer when the obvious one doesn’t work.![]()
![]()
If you’ve had a deal fall apart, had to walk away from one, lost a buyer, or had something happen that made you wonder what the hell you were doing, I wouldn’t automatically count that experience as wasted time.![]()
![]()
Some of the situations that frustrated me the most over the years are also the reason I can look at a problem today and think, “Okay, what can we do from here?” or “I learned SO much from that deal.”![]()
![]()
And THAT is a skill I could have never learned from a training.
If you had told me 11 years ago that I would be where I am today, I would have laughed.![]()
![]()
11 years ago, I was living back with my mom in a small bedroom with my son. We had 2 beds on the floor, barely any furniture, and I was only bringing in a couple hundred dollars every week.![]()
![]()
I was miserable. I was suffering from anxiety and panic attacks, completely lost, and just so damn broke it was scaring the crap out of me.![]()
![]()
A few months later, I moved into my first apartment. I didn’t even make enough money to cover the RENT. I went days without eating so my son could, and I racked up over $20,000 in debt with my mom.![]()
![]()
When I thought I had hit rock bottom, the bottom was dug deeper.![]()
![]()
It. Kept. Getting. Worse.![]()
![]()
It took me getting fed the F up with my life. I remember sitting on the bathroom floor crying and thinking, what do I do, God?![]()
![]()
Then real estate investing came into my life.![]()
![]()
I started visualizing a better life for myself. A life where I wasn’t constantly scared about money.![]()
![]()
I started doing the things I didn’t want to do. Cold calling, reaching out to sellers when I didn’t feel ready, talking to buyers, and setting up a virtual system when I REALLY didn’t know wtf I was doing.![]()
![]()
But I believed in my vision, and most of all, I believed in ME. I didn’t give up.![]()
![]()
Fast forward 11 years…![]()
![]()
I am out of debt. Hallelujah lol![]()
![]()
I have a beautiful place near the beach, a kitchen full of food, my dream car, and the freedom to travel.![]()
![]()
I get to show Hunter the world and give him experiences I never could have imagined when we were sleeping on those beds on the floor.![]()
![]()
Today, I am living inside the life I was crying, praying, and visualizing back then.![]()
![]()
Don’t give up. Push yourself out of your damn comfort zone, even when you feel wildly unprepared, and keep chasing the life you want.![]()
![]()
I did it. I built this…![]()
![]()
And you can too.
