The InvestHER Podcast

EPISODE 435: As you know, today's real estate investing landscape is pretty difficult to navigate. It’s changing rapidly, and this means that it’s much more volatile than it used to be a few years ago. In fact, we’d go as far as to say that it’s so volatile that you really don’t want to be doing any buying right now as a real estate investor. So, when buying isn’t an option, what should you do instead? This is the exact question we answer in this week’s minisode of The Real Estate InvestHER Show. Today, we discuss how you can realign your investment strategy to get through these less than ideal times, survive in this climate, and set yourself up for success as the market changes.  Are you ready to learn more?

EPISODE 434: If real estate and the stock market had a baby, it would be REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). And it is high time for you to invest in that baby and diversify your portfolio through it! This is because as a real estate investor, you already have an advantage when it comes to investing in REITs. You know the market, you know the industry, and you have the experience and qualifications you need to profit off of an investment like this. To discuss all of this in more depth, we’ve invited an expert on the podcast, the brilliant Ange Matthews.  Ange is an investor, investment coach, and the founder of the Happy Investor Method™, where her goal is to make investing accessible and fun for all.  Through her step-by-step investing blueprint, Ange has helped thousands of individuals and businesses learn how to use the stock market to shift their wealth and change their lives. When Ange first started investing in the stock market, she was making $40,000 a year and had a six-figure debt. As a self-taught, first-generation investor, she went on to not only generate multiple six-figure incomes passively in the stock market, but also helped others do the same.  In 2016, she decided to found the Happy Investor Method to share her findings and help other powerful people experience powerful wealth. Now, with more than twelve years of investing experience to her name, her workshops, seminars, courses, and one-on-one coaching are helping people, especially women and people of color, put their money to work to change the world.

EPISODE 433: Negotiation, we love it and we hate it at the same time. When it goes well, it goes really well. And when it goes bad, well… let’s just say we don’t want you to be imagining that. Negotiation is a huge part of every real estate investor’s job, and knowing how to do it right can save you (or make you) a lot of money. Negotiating in real estate is like choosing food. If you want speed and a low price, you often have to compromise on quality, and if you want something truly good, you need to be ready to pay the price. In this episode, we’ll be discussing the art of negotiating not price but terms in real estate, because most people forget about them, even though they are just as important as how much you’re paying (or getting for a deal). Ready to learn more? Let’s dive in. Key Takeaways:  Introduction (00:00) Always negotiate time (03:41) Closing costs (04:35) Rent-back agreement (05:24) Repairs and warranties (06:30) Negotiating with contractors (09:20) Additional Resources: ⚡ Join the InvestHER Movement Get your ticket for InvestHER CON 2024: https://www.therealestateinvesther.com/investhercon Join the InvestHER Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therealestateinvesther/ Apply for your STRIVE Membership here: https://www.therealestateinvesther.com/membership Join our InvestHER Meetups: https://www.therealestateinvesther.com/investhercon Schedule a discovery call with us: https://www.therealestateinvesther.com/investherorg -- The Real Estate InvestHER Show is a podcast by women for women all over the world who want to learn how to invest in real estate, grow their portfolio, and develop the mindset that allows them to run successful businesses while taking care of their families and – most importantly – taking care of themselves.

EPISODE 431: Did you know that women entrepreneurs were more likely to experience burnout than their male counterparts? This is because more often than not, women entrepreneurs are not only taking on more than they can at work, but also at home. Many women find themselves overwhelmed by the amount of daily tasks they need to take care of, whether those tasks have to do with their business or with their households. But instead of asking for help, they simply take on those responsibilities, even if they’re too tired or stressed out to do so. And guess what happens if you do this long enough? You end up experiencing the dreaded burnout. Burnout happens as a result of mental, emotional, and physical stress, and women are especially prone to it.  However, if you want your business to grow, then you need to take care of yourself first, and being burnt out is definitely the opposite of that. So, in this week’s minisode of The Real Estate InvestHER Show, we decided it’s high time we changed that, which is why we’re sharing with you all our tips to recover from burnout. Ready to learn more? Let’s dive in. Key Takeaways:  Introduction (00:00) How burnout impacts women more (01:02) The signs of burnout (01:54) Who you need to be to stop the burnout cycle (04:29) How do you fill your cup?
