Episode notes

Anyone can buy rentals, whether you have some money to deploy or very little to your name. With seemingly everything working against her, today’s guest managed to buy not one, not two, but THREE properties to support her and her daughter on their journey to financial freedom!

Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Bella and River are a mother-daughter investing duo who, just a few years ago, were facing dire circumstances. In a short amount of time, Bella lost her eyesight, foreclosed on her home, and went through a divorce—leaving her with low income and no immediate way to increase it. But when a family member introduced her to real estate investing and brought her a deal, she jumped at the opportunity. Today, this duo has a small portfolio of three rental properties and five doors!

In this episode, you’ll hear about the unique strategies Bella and River are using to choose their markets, vet contractors, screen tenants, complete home renovations, and manage their portfolio. Stick around until the end to hear how they plan to take down their next property, a short-term rental in Indiana, and achieve financial freedom within the next five years!
