The InvestHER Podcast

In light of everything happening in our society regarding race, racism and racial injustice, we wanted to have an open dialogue with some amazing community leaders with the goal to empower our InvestHER community to take action against racial injustice. In this episode, we speak with four outstanding women: Cheryl Lundy Swift, Tennille McCoy, Kim Avant-Babb, and Patricia Red Hawk.

Our mission is to serve ALL women and we hope this discussion will help inspire real movement so we can be a part of the solution.

Investors frequently hear that others are scaling their portfolio, but we rarely learn how. On today’s episode, we talk with Whitney Hutten, who went from an accidental house hack to partnering in over $378M in real estate assets by aligning her vision with her husband and creating profitable relationships. We discuss the importance of vetting anyone you work with from turnkey providers and syndicators, to property managers and contractors and talk through all the tough questions one should ask when doing so. As investors, we can’t do it all and Whitney shares with us how she leveraged partnerships to grow and build her portfolio. Whitney is a real estate investor and personal finance trainer whose vision is to help thousands of families on their path towards financial independence. After purchasing her first rental in 2002, and hitting a home run, then nearly losing it all on her second deal, Whitney took control and figured out how to invest in real estate the right way. She realized that success must leave clues, so she studied, and using her skills in research and business operations and training, she replicated the very personal finance and wealth creation strategies the wealthy use to create financial freedom. Today, Whitney is a partner in $378M+ of real estate assets, including 3,000+ residential units (SFR, MF, MHP, and assisted living) and 1,430+ self-storage. She loves trail running, mountain biking, climbing and camping (really anything outdoors!). She’s passionate about spending time with family and friends. Fun facts about Whitney: She was a Division I soccer player (played overseas when at 14); first (almost 2nd degree) black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and literally had to rip out her own hair on a big wall climb in Canada to free herself. In a previous work life, Whitney worked as a public health epidemiologist investing disease outbreaks and working in bioterrorism.   On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Whitney, including: –      Transitioning between assets classes –      The importance of running your own numbers on a turnkey property –      How to leverage your relationships to find and fund deals –      Ways to prove you have the experience to sponsor a syndication –      The positive outcomes of being aligned with your partner Books/Resources The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki Investing For Good Podcast Contact Information GoodEggInvestments.com Looking for Funding?

Having little money and poor credit doesn’t mean you can’t invest in real estate; it just means you’ll have to be creative. We are excited to sit down with Mercedes Torres, investor and businesswomen, to discuss how she escaped the rat race and completed over 2000+ real estate transactions. We cover so much with Mercedes like how to analyze trends and market conditions, how to create win-wins for both the buyer and the seller, and the biggest lesson she learned from one of her largest failures. Mercedes also shares with us her tried and true letter of intent for off market deals. In her very first two years in the world of Real Estate, Mercedes Torres flipped 24 properties. Now, she has 2000+ real estate transactions to her name. She’s appeared on the A&E show Flip That House, graduated from UCLA — and is currently divulging all her life’s lessons and real estate savvy to her friends, followers, clients, and connections. If you see her on the town, she’ll be sipping a spicy margarita while dreaming up that next big deal. “Family first, then financial freedom” I’ve heard her say. And she does more than speak those words, she lives by them. In the real estate world, Mercedes is known as a fierce and relentless Latin leader that lives a fully focused and mindful life. She knows how to ‘step away’ from work when she’s with the fam. And at work, she uncovers solutions that deliver wins for everybody — wins that create lasting relationships built around more than just table talk. She loves nothing more than taking someone from “this isn’t possible” to “finally, I’ve escaped the rat race”. Catch her live every Tuesday on the Epic Real Estate Investing Podcast.

Investing in apartment syndications may seem out of reach when you’re deep in debt, but today’s guest shows us the power of real estate on her journey to financial independence. We are excited to sit down with Megan Lamke on this week’s episode! Megan started with over a half a million dollars in debt between her and her husband and through years of determination and sacrifice, was able to become debt free. She did this by house hacking, utilizing the BRRR strategy, and snowballing their debt. After creating a financial foundation, Megan began pursuing multifamily real estate syndications both passively and as a general partner. She shares with us how she is able to do it full time and what she looks for in a great deal. We cover so much with Megan like how she was able to become debt free and what motivated her to live a debt free life, the mistakes one should avoid when tackling debt, and how she transitioned from house hacking to apartment syndications. Megan also shares her daily executable tasks to find investing opportunities.  Megan started in the real estate industry working for Wells Fargo in 2008 during the refinance boom for investors. While working full-time climbing the corporate ladder, Megan began house hacking and started implementing the Buy, Renovate, Rent and Refinance (BRRR) strategy in 2011. After working for several fast-growing technology companies, Megan started leveraging her sales and marketing skills to grow a local property management company. That lead Megan to get her real estate license in 2016 and start passively in multifamily real estate syndications. Megan was passionate about becoming 100% debt-free and F.I.R.E. before the age of 35. Together with her husband, they paid off $535,000 in debt including their house in 4 years and 10 months. Now Megan is a licensed realtor in the state of Minnesota and pursues multifamily real estate syndications full-time.   On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Megan, including: How her parent’s bankruptcy lead to her debt free dreams How to get started in apartment syndications Systems you need in place to invest out of state successfully Specific actions she takes to find deals and her buying criteria The morning routine that sets her up for a productive day   Books/Resources Michael Blank Deal Analyzer Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod The Challenging Sale The Real Estate InvestHER Meetup- Minneapolis, MN   Contact Information MeganLamke.com Instagram – @meganlamke LinkedIn – Megan Lamke   Looking for Funding?

Recession proof asset classes might not exist but there are certainly benefits in some over others during markets like we’re experiencing today. We are excited to sit down with Corinn Altomare, investor and musician, on this week’s episode! Corinn began investing in small multifamily properties to give her the financial foundation needed to pursue her true passion, music. After expanding her portfolio through syndications, she ultimately made a strategic pivot into self-storage given its most alluring aspect of being recession resistant. She now owns and controls over $9 million in real estate. We cover so much with Corinn like the benefits of self-storage during not only a market downturn, but also during an upswing, how to best transition between asset classes, and what to look for in a self-storage facility. Corinn also shares the one thing she would have done differently when first starting out. Corinn Altomare is a classically trained musician turned real estate investor. During her professional career as an opera singer, she performed a diverse range of repertoire spanning the baroque period to contemporary, from pop-up locations in city centers to reverent chapels nestled within European country sides. After 13 years as a vagabond musician, however, Corinn was ready for a new challenge. She found this-ultimately-in real estate. Corinn comes from entrepreneurial parents-her mother founded and ran a Montessori preschool; her father a family and financial planning law practice. Her youngest childhood memories are of accompanying them on daily operations. This early exposure served Corinn well as she pivoted to the realm of IT project management for 5 years. This time was marked by continual growth, training, and development in a world completely different from her previous artistic and entrepreneurial ones. Corinn’s next career shift was into real estate investing. As an individual investor, she acquired a triplex in the Francisville neighborhood of Philadelphia. This purchase was followed closely by multiple others within a few very busy years, acquired through syndication with-at first-close friends and family. She jumped into her new roles of owner and property manager across a quickly-growing portfolio. She started her company, Hearthfire Holdings, with her now-husband and business partner. While only dating at the time, after navigating a few investment property purchases, landlording, and hands-on repairs and maintenance together, they knew a formal partnership-in life and business-was in order. Hearthfire Holdings made a strategic pivot into self-storage after 7 years in residential real estate. This decision was made largely upon the assessment of an overheated, overextended market high, and the recognition of an inevitable downward correction. This move turned out to be made just in time, given the impact of COVID-19 on our global economy in 1Q2020. Pre-planning for this shift started in 2017, and Hearthfire Holdings sold off smaller syndications 4Q2018-1Q2019, delivering investor returns of 23-24% IRR. Funds from these sales were consolidated into a successful acquisition of a 35,000 NRSQFT self-storage facility in Lancaster County, PA, in 3Q2019. Hearthfire Holdings maintains a portfolio of commercial and residential multifamily properties in the Philadelphia MSA, which with their self-storage facility represents a total portfolio valuing $9M. On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Corinn, including: -      The importance of studying a market when investing in self-storage -      The differences between self-storage and other assets classes -      How to present yourself to sellers to give yourself the edge over other offers -      How the current Corona Virus epidemic is affecting her portfolio and self-storage in general -      The complications that come with over structuring your partnerships Want to hear more from Corinn?
