The Women Building Wealth Blog was created in2007 to help women who are already investing in real estate pick up a few more ideas and for those who are just starting out and want to learn exactly how to get started in investing. I am a realtor and an investor. My niche has always been helping women build wealth through real estate. As an atypical realtor I counsel women to look towards the long term hold. At least 5 to 10 years and rather than sell, take the equity and roll it into another investment. Sure…I could use the commission with a quick sale but in the end that’s not what I am about. I am on the path to building wealth through real estate and other ventureses…and I’d like to help other like-minded women along the way.
Prior to investing in real estate, I was a technical recruiter with a San Francisco based search firm that worked with high-end IT professionals. Prior to that, I worked with a San Francisco technology driven market research firm that specialized in messaging and collaborative intelligence. Even though I did quite well in the corporate world, I realized that the 9-5 daily grind was not going to help me retire early. So I started reading dozens of real estate investing books (after work or on the weekends), got my real estate license and structured my own deal then moved onto other investments. Today I own a few properties and hope to add more to my portfolio. I’ve made a million mistakes and sometimes the risks seemed incredibly high. But I learned from my mistakes and moved on. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a complete newcomer this blog shares my past experiences, current ventures and information I think is important.
