I’ve been fascinated by real estate for as long as I can remember. At 14, I’d ride my bike around my neighborhood, wondering who owned their homes. By high school, I landed a job at a title company, handling closings for investors making incredible money—and I knew I had to figure this game out.

In my late teens, I considered getting my real estate license but lacked vision. Instead, I started connecting with homeowners in distress, trying to buy their properties. With no money, I got creative—passing leads to investors in exchange for a fee. I had no idea I was wholesaling; I just loved the chase and the uncapped income potential.

While working full-time and studying finance, I bought my first property at 23—a two-bedroom condo. When I moved out and rented it, I realized something huge: owning real estate could make me money, not just cost me. That shifted everything.

A few years later, I met my husband, who shared my passion for investing. He had experience flipping homes, and we were all in. I quit my job, got my real estate license, and focused on finding deals. What started as a way to save on commissions turned into a business—I loved helping others build wealth through real estate.

Over the years, we completed countless flips and built a strong rental portfolio, creating the cash flow to cover our expenses. That freedom lets us focus on what matters—personal growth, family, traveling, and making memories.

For me, real estate isn’t just about money; it’s about time. And that’s the real wealth.
