From Single Mom (Working 3 Jobs!) to 5 Rentals in 2 Years

Think you’ve missed your shot at real estate investing? Whether 25 or 55, you’re about to learn that it’s never too late to start. Today’s guest got started as a single mom in her 40s, and she’s already bought five rental properties in just two years. She’s not reinventing the wheel either—everything she’s doing, YOU can do, too!

While raising two children, Liz grinded away at three different jobs to rapidly increase her income, pay off debts, and save for a down payment. Now, five properties later, Liz is diversified across three different markets and has built teams in each one to make managing her real estate portfolio that much easier.

And she’s not done yet! Liz is still trialing different investing strategies in search of the right niche for her. You don’t need to have everything figured out either. Tune in as Liz shares why taking action today, no matter your age or marital status, is the best thing you can do for your future self!
