There are countless reasons we want to get into real estate investing. They may include to increase our income, to spend more time with our family, and to have more time in general. There are so many benefits, but one big excuse keeps many women from being in the game.
This third most common excuse I hear from women is that they don't want to be a landlord. They fear getting late-night calls about the toilet being clogged, asking to check the fuse box, leaking pipes, and infestations. They fear having to ever evict anyone. They fear having a nightmare tenant that makes the whole process distasteful.
The wonderful thing about real estate investing is that there are SO MANY WAYS to do it! It's not one-size-fits-all. And guess what? You can invest in real estate, having your money working for you, WITHOUT dealing with the 3 T's: Tenants, Toilets, and Termites. And, these strategies can be pursued at a wide range of price points.

If you've already started investing in real estate, youâre ready to dig in and break out of the comfort zone youâve built so far in your real estate investing business. You're ready to take your investing to the next level!â

What Happens When You Take Your Real Estate Investing to The Next Level?
â
1. Strategic Confidence:
When you wake up in the morning, you know that the time you are investing in your business has a direct impact on your forward progress towards your goals.
â
2. A Team Thatâs Been There:
You know that the plan youâre creating was built with the help of experts who are doing it themselves, who are in the game.
â
3. Visibility and Access:
You are not a beginner, friend! Itâs time to show up and be a part of the real estate conversations that make this industry move.Â
â
4. Space to Live:
Growing your real estate business like a goddess is not about the hustle. It requires holding space for the things that fuel you, that recharge you, that fulfill you and allow in ease, g...

The active investor, sponsor, or syndicator (these terms are used interchangeably) is the person that is arranging a syndication. They bring together a group of investors to collectively purchase a property.
Typically, they will find the deal, structure it, enroll investors, arrange outside financing, and then manage the asset afterward.
A syndicator is not necessarily acting as a property manager, but they will need to manage the property manager(s) and other aspects of the deal (e.g., get insurance for the property, make sure that necessary rehabs are done, ensure taxes are done for the entities and K-1s are provided each year to investors, etc.)
If you're considering syndication, you don't have to do all of this yourself. You can partner with other syndicators and be a sponsorship team. I recommend this approach and this is how I do it myself. As a team, you split the responsibilities and the rewards.
NOTE: PRACTICE SAFE SYNDICATION. Typically (at least in the United States)...

My husband and I decided we wanted to get into multi-family real estate investment because we wanted to be able to have some passive cash flow, build up some equity, and leave a legacy for our kids.
We started looking and asked our real estate agent to help us.
The real estate agent that had helped us get our single-family house knew nothing about investment property. Though she tried her best, she really was completely ignorant about what we needed to look for, and alas, mostly so were we.
The commercial brokers who could have helped us were not interested in speaking to "small fries" who had no real experience in multi-family investing.
We were looking for a fourplex in Los Angeles where we live, and the prices were unbelievably high. It was really hard to find a deal where (a) we could even afford it and (b) where we'd be making any money.
I was incredibly frustrated and eventually despaired that we'd ever find anything.
Then, fate stepped in, as it often does when you're o...

There are a lot of different ways of investing in real estate! You can be an active investor or a passive investor, you can invest in homes, apartment buildings, land, notes, hotels, industrial, and more. There are so many options!
That's what I love about our REI Goddesses community- women are investing in many different ways, in many different locations, and you can see all of these women CRUSHING it in real estate - all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, ages, marital statuses, etc. It is SO inspiring!â
You need to create a plan that will work for you. If youâre making a blueprint for a building, the blueprint will be very different if the building is going to be a 2-bedroom house or a 100-story skyscraper.
If you have the wrong plan, youâre not going to make the right investment decisions for you and your goals. This could result in you losing money or not having your money available to you when you need it.

Investing in a money-making market is KEY to ensuring that your investment is cash-flowing for a long period of time.
Whether or not your property will make money has almost everything to do with its location. So how do you find the right market and submarket that will allow you to profit with your real estate investments? Here are 7 factors that I look for before I invest to make sure it'll be a worthy investment:
Â
Remember when you have rental property, you are a landlord & you are a business. Laws & policies that favor landlords & businesses will make a big difference in your ability to profit.
Â
The next factor in a good investment property market is to have a low-to-medium cost of housing.
The cost of housing is important because (a) it will determine your ease in being able to enter the market (the more expensive a market, the harder it will be for you to purchase there), and (b) you will have to be able to cha...
Modern women are fast-paced women who juggle their time between family, career, and friends. I always ask women who join my community -- what's the biggest challenge you face with regards to real estate investing? The #2 biggest challenge is time. I get a ton of responses saying: "I am stuck because I am a mother, I don't have time," or "I am feeling burned out with my career, I think I don't have time to do real estate."
That is the 2nd BIGGEST EXCUSE women use for not getting into real estate investing:
"I DON'T HAVE TIME"
It seems like a valid excuse -- people imagine that there's a tremendous amount of time needed to find and purchase a property, rehab a property, find a tenant, manage tenants, etc.
And sometimes those things are needed, but not always. The great thing about real estate investing is that there are many ways to invest -- quite a few of which require little to no time!

âSuccess occurs when your dreams get bigger than your excuses.â ~Anonymous
I am OBSESSED with my mission to help 1 million women find financial freedom through real estate investing. I know that real estate investing is something that is accessible to any and every woman, but so often I hear excuses from women about why itâs not possible for them now.

In my Investing in Real Estate from $1 to $1 Million Guide, I share with you various strategies for investing in real estate at all different price points, including ones for as little as $1(or less)!

Andrew Carnegie said, â90% of millionaires become so through real estate. More money has been made in real estate than in all industrial investments combined.â
I know I preach a LOT about how important investing in real estate is to build generational wealth. I know I am always sharing how it has allowed me, and so many goddesses I know, to achieve real financial freedom. But itâs not just me who believes this to be true! People all around the world have created millions because they invested in real estate. They put their money in properties, homes, complexes, commercial buildings, etc and their money made them more money until they achieved the millionaire status that they enjoy today.
Here is a list of some of the female real estate investors who have had the greatest impact on the real estate industry:Â
