It's WINSday!!


Hi there Reader,

Happy WINSday!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend celebrating the moms in your life and being celebrated in return!

We've had so many exciting things happening within this group and in the market. Thanks to everyone that adjusted their calendars to accommodate my artist dreams with a temporary time change in our Tuesday night zoom. I'll share some photos below from my art class.

In case you missed it...

Another great start to the year and Tuesday night Blessed & Bossin' zoom discussing important topics for landlords and investors.

  • In March, I hosted our 3rd annual Vision Board Party, setting our intentions and goals for the year (due to inclement weather, home renovations, and life lifin', we were a bit delayed) but a great time was had by all who attended!
  • Multi-family pros and cons. Why would you sell?
    • Multi-families can be cash cows, often one side can cover most, if not all, of the mortgage, but can neighbors sharing walls stay neighborly? We explored some real life user stories and lessons learned.
  • Section 8 rent increased! A great strategy in underserved communities.
    • See photos below for a list of the current rents by zip in the Augusta area.
  • De-titling a mobile home - why is this necessary and how long does it take?
  • Daniella shared tips for listing a home to sell and the challenges renovation shortcuts cause for sellers.
    • Small issues such as poorly painted doors and trim, old vents, and even crooked switch plates can cause buyers to question the quality of work and function of larger items. Don't let a $10 repair cost you $10K or more!
  • Masters rentals - Yay or Nay?
    • Renting your short-term or mid-term rental can be very lucrative with rent rates doubling or tripling during that week, but is it causing vacancies in the month leading to and following the tournament?
  • Thanks to Linda for hosting us at her completed modular home! It's beautiful and ready for its new family.
  • On Saturday, May 2nd, Ingrid graciously shared her lessons learned during our New Build Q&A.
  • On Sunday, May 10th, I led a group of investors on 2 house tours through Section-8-ready rentals.
  • Upcoming events - please let me know in the Facebook group what you'd like to do and see to help you on your investor journey.

Helping women secure their financial futures through real estate investing is my passion and purpose. As a 20+ year corporate baddie in my 40's, I know how difficult it is to spend half my life climbing the proverbial corporate ladder only to feel my job and finances are in someone else's control. I didn't want that for myself or for any other woman! 5 years ago, I took the reins! I invested in my first rental property and have grown my portfolio to 7 figures, securing passive income that will continue to grow over time and has allowed me to exit my "day job" for a more fulfilling future helping others do the same. If you're ready to build wealth and legacy and secure your financial future through real estate investment, this is for you! I'm here for you. We can do it together.
