Emma Powell - Layoff Insurance Through Passive Investing

Emma Powell - Layoff Insurance Through Passive Investing

Emma Powell is the owner/operator of Highrise Group and has partnered on nearly 500 units since relocating to Salt Lake City in 2018 after 20 years in Austin TX, as either a general manager, capital raiser, or loan guarantor. She and her husband of 25 years, Troy Powell, are parents of six homeschooled children ages 24 to 10. Troy has an IT background with a passion for details and serving others to help reach financial independence and give back.

Emma manages the Rise Commercial Real Estate Investing Club, a place for new and experienced investors alike to pool funds to purchase large properties together for a lower barrier of entry and less work.

With extensive property and construction management experience, Emma specializes in small businesses and holds a BS in Business Administration and Entrepreneurial Management with a certificate in Marketing Graphic Design. Emma's favorite part of investing, other than passive cash flow, is building teams to creatively get transactions to the finish line.

Emma has been featured on Business Insider and The Bigger Pockets Podcast, as well as many other programs and stages. She loves to talk and guest on real estate-related podcasts or events with a talkative, easy-to-interview style.

With experience speaking about getting started in real estate by learning to network and learning to analyze deals, thinking bigger, scaling quickly, and a positive mindset with a down-to-earth attitude, Emma accepts with humor the imperfect balance of business success and personal life.
