The InvestHER Podcast

How can you transform transactional conversations into genuine relationships? Join Liz and Andresa in this minisode of the Real Estate InvestHER Show as they discuss something super important: building genuine relationships. We'll discuss what a genuine relationship looks like versus a transactional one that you won't remember the name of or care to remember. We'll also share three tips for transitioning from a transactional conversation to one that builds real connection and rapport. Plus, we have an acronym that you can use to help make connections quickly.   Tune in to learn these tips and how physical cues, like eye contact and presence, can help you build meaningful relationships with people in your network.   Quotes   ·      "Building relationships is about genuinely listening and understanding what the other person is saying, rather than thinking about your next question."

The eyes, the physical, and the body language must be present in your conversations.” (07:56 - 08:00) ·      "When building relationships, if someone doesn't meet my criteria, I get out of there."

She is also a published author and a member of several real estate organizations.   In this episode, we'll hear Beth's inspiring story and her journey to success, balance, and mental health. Despite achieving great success in business, Beth found herself feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, which led her to reassess her priorities. She talks about how Covid-19 and personal events helped her realize the importance of slowing down and focusing on family, health, and self-care. We'll also discuss the power of resetting, the strategies she used, and the importance of setting boundaries, being aware of our limitations, and taking time for reflection.   Quotes   ·      “We very much have the opportunity to say what we take on and what we don't. It is all about staying in tune with your internal barometer that says: ‘Is this truly how you define yourself?’” (05:03 - 05:19) ·      “Striving for the next level isn't necessarily malicious, but it's important to recognize our own limitations”. (16:06 - 16:17) ·      "Identifying your 'why' is crucial. It's not always about money, but rather what you're striving for. Set that foundation and expectation for yourself to avoid getting carried away." (26:35 - 26:39)   Connect with Beth: Website: Lend2Live LinkedIn: Beth P.

Ladies, tune into this conversation for essential insight on making the most of today's real estate market! Quotes   ·      “Assess what you're looking for and ask yourself - does it make sense?

(04:50 – 04:52) ·      “Getting crystal clear on your deal sources is the first step to success. Relying on one realtor alone won't cut it in this market.

Are you ready to hear an inspiring conversation about finding empowerment in difficult times? Welcome, ladies, to the Real Estate InvestHER Show! In this minisode, Liz and Andresa share their personal experiences on how they moved away from a victim mentality and shifted their perspective to achieve success. This engaging conversation explores how naiveness, hard work, and holistic thinking can help people overcome obstacles. The speakers discuss how to become a victor instead of a victim when things don't go according to plan and the importance of owning your strengths and limitations. They also share the story of how they lost $750,000 in business, the difficulty of going through a divorce, and how it was ultimately a blessing in disguise that allowed them to reset and focus on what they wanted out of life.   Take this opportunity to listen to an inspiring conversation about finding empowerment in difficult times!

You need to know where your strengths are.” (07:46 - 07:55) ·      “The key is to be shifting from victim to victor”. (12:24 -12:28) ·      “When bad things happen, it's natural to feel angry and want to blame someone. But we must move through that and experience all the feelings to make the best of the situation”.

Through her blog, social media, courses, and podcast, she inspires over 450,000 people weekly.

She also suggests that taking time to slow down, meditate, and give ourselves a few seconds to respond can be beneficial in every situation. During the show, Terri discusses different types of boundary issues, such as boundary destroyers and bullies, and how codependency can be related to boundaries. She points out that high-functioning individuals may be codependent without realizing it.

Welcome to The Real Estate InvestHER Show! In this episode, they have a special guest, Leigh Leite. Leigh is the Founder of Twenty-Five Eight Capital, a real estate investment company focused on multifamily syndications. Leigh has over 6 years of experience flipping over 150 homes and building a value-add single-family home rental portfolio and has recently transitioned to the multifamily space. As GP, she acquired $25 million in multifamily assets in 2022. In addition to her real estate experience, Leigh is also a physician assistant and has been practicing for 12 years. She has left her full-time job to pursue real estate full-time and enjoy time with her family in Virginia Beach, where she is raising her two children, Lillian and Xander. Leigh is passionate about helping others achieve financial freedom.   Leigh shares her journey in real estate investing and how she retired from her career in medicine by the time her daughter started kindergarten. She also talks about her experience in buying and flipping over 150 homes, as well as a 62-unit apartment building that she and her team renovated and increased the rent on. She emphasizes the importance of finding properties and adding value to them, rather than just raising the rent without any improvements. Leigh also discusses the importance of building relationships and networking, as well as sharing your "street cred" or credibility in the industry. Leigh advises listeners to be succinct, and upfront about their business and experiences, and use numbers to back up their accomplishments. In the future, Leigh is planning on spreading the education about real estate investing to other busy working professionals and starting syndications to allow her family, friends, and colleagues to invest as limited partners in large assets.   Ladies, this episode was full of valuable insights and strategies for finding success in the multi-family real estate market. Whether you're an experienced investor or just starting out, Leigh has shared some expert advice that you can put into action right away.   Quotes   ·        “If I had built my team and sought resources like coaches and mentors from the start, I think I would have gotten to where I am today even faster.” (07:33 – 07:53) ·        “What's most important to me is time.

(09:34 - 09:45) ·        "We aimed to generate passive income and replace our W2 jobs. We flipped houses to build our portfolio and eventually transitioned to multi-family properties for faster growth. The flip market has slowed due to current conditions, but we are fortunate to have made the transition. (17:05 - 18:11) ·        “The crowd is less busy for the properties that [we] speak about. And I think in an economy we're in, in any economy, you have to keep asking the question, how do we observe what everyone else is doing?
