The InvestHER Podcast

Investing in real estate and tackling your own home renovation projects may be intimidating but that didn’t let our guest stop her from trying. On today’s episode, we talk all things DIY and social media with Brittany Arnason, the girl who famously beat Bigger Pockets’ Brandon Turner in the race to 100k followers on Instagram. We dive into how Brittany has successfully grown her buy and hold real estate portfolio to 13 units utilizing the BRRRR strategy and the challenges and benefits of being a female in the renovation space. She shares the secrets to growing her Instagram following and how you too can create an active and committed community. For those new to renovating, we discuss the best projects to start with, how to save on costs, and tips to learn more advance skills. At just 18 years old, Brittany Arnason bought her first investment property and has since built her empire through Instagram and DIY renovations. Brittany is all in all the time from analyzing markets and properties, negotiating, and securing the deal, to designing the spaces, getting her hands dirty on the renovations, and ultimately managing the unit and refinancing. To fight back against those who say girls can’t renovate, Brittany began documenting her journey on Instagram and has since grown her following to over 110k followers. There she shares tips and tricks on her DIY projects, beautiful before and after photos, and inspiration to investors everywhere that you too can figure it out. Brittany Arnason lives in Saskatchewan, Canada and loves to spend her time away from DIYing with her friends and family. She also loves to travel, making sure she carves out the time for 4 or more trips a year.  On today’s episode, we discuss a lot with Brittany, including:  -      How you don’t need formal experience to tackle your own renovations -      The importance in knowing renovation costs -      How to crowdsource information from your social media community  -      Tips to add value to your social media audience and grow an engaged following -      How to streamline your business to focus on your strengths Books/Resources The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E.

For many real estate investors, the hardest real estate deal to complete is often the first one. Not only do newer investors lack the knowledge and experience, but they also experience a ton of fear and uncertainty as they navigate this business. Well, on today’s episode, we have one of our amazing InvestHER Meetup Leaders, Stephanie Banno, with us discussing how she finished and sold her first real estate deal while working full time and long distance! During today’s interview, we discuss how she found her first deal, how she leveraged relationships, how to find and talk to distressed sellers, how to utilize virtual assistants, and how to manage expectations as you get started! Stephanie Banno is a partner of Yellow Dog Property LLC in Austin, Texas. She began her real estate investing career last June by attending a real estate conference. After attending the event in June, she started networking with as many people as she possibly could via social media. She began making offers on single family homes in San Antonio working with a great agent in the area. She was able to successfully acquire a preforeclosure 2 bed/2 bath house in San Antonio with a JV partner that only required cosmetic repairs. It took about a month to get it ready to put on the market and they had 6 offers in 72 hours. They successfully closed on their first deal and are in full steam ahead to find new deals! Stephanie also leads the Austin chapter of the InvestHER Meetups (there are 22 chapters in the USA and growing!)

The secret to being more engaged, more productive, and more profitable is closer to home than you think. On today’s episode, we dive deep into self-care and work-life rhythm with CC Sutton who is a work-life integration specialist and productivity keynote speaker.  We explore the fact that self-care is not a luxury, it is a necessity and CC shares practical steps to help you make it a priority.

We discuss ways to become more intentional with our actions, how to get clear on what rejuvenates us, and the language required when communicating our needs with others. After 11 years of feeling overworked, overweight and over it ALL, CC took matters into her own hands and traded in her fancy business suits for a t-shirt and yoga pants to work remotely. And not only did she gain balance back into her professional & personal schedule, but she also increased her work productivity, multiplied her earnings, and she even lost the extra pounds! ​Today, CC is a 13-year professional speaker, certified John C. Maxwell Speaker, Coach & Trainer and a certified Life & Relationship Coach. Organizations call on her when they want their attendees to have a paradigm shift and take action. Prior to becoming a professional speaker, CC worked in the oil & gas, IT and higher-education sectors recruiting for top talent across the U.S. CC Sutton is a consummate speaker who has hosted her own radio talk show, and has extensive experience speaking at an array of events, including the International Swing Dance Championships, celebrity luncheons, galas, fashion shows, fundraisers, conferences, and more. She has also been featured on Fox 26 News, The Houston Business Journal, the Houston Chronicle and on several radio talk shows and podcasts. ​CC resides in Houston, TX with her husband, Tristen, and their Pointer named "Peppy". Outside of speaking, CC enjoys competitive ballroom dancing, working out (only because she's a HUGE foodie), traveling, and mentoring young ladies. She also loves rain, candles and fruit smoothies…in that order.

On this special episode, we are so excited to celebrate our 100th episode of the Real Estate InvestHER Show! Andresa and Liz are thrilled to sit down with two newer investors – Amina Sanders and Kristin DiPasquo from Philadelphia, PA. On today’s episode, we discuss with these newer investors – their investing journey, their learned lessons along the way, and how the Real Estate InvestHER Community has helped them take action and build their investment portfolio – one property at a time. Amina Sanders is originally from Long Island, New York and moved to the South Jersey area six years ago after graduating undergrad. For the past six years, she has worked in the biotech/pharmaceutical industry as an analytical scientist. She stumbled onto real estate investing in 2016 after working on a family research project by finding BiggerPockets and then the Real Estate InvestHER Community (both the Facebook community and the Philadelphia InvestHER Meetup). She spent the next two years educating herself about real estate investing and she found that the best way for her to get started was through house-hacking. She quickly realized that investing in real estate was her chance to gain financial control and stability over her own life. In 2018, after a roller coaster of emotions her and her husband bought their first home: a 3b/2b Single-Family home in Philadelphia. They rented out two bedrooms and lived in the master. This past August, they acquired their husband's childhood home which is a single-family home rental in Atlanta, GA. Currently, they are under contract for what will be our third property, a duplex conversion. Kristin DiPasquo had a winding path in her adult life, starting out professionally as a software engineer, taking off several years in her 20's to explore different parts of the world, landing in Philly as an elementary school teacher and occasional yoga teacher and then truly landing in my mid 30s as a realtor and now investor. She loves working as a realtor, helping people in a very concrete way and being her own business person. Thanks to many things, including her supportive family and the InvestHER community, she has been able to take the leap into Real Estate Investing. Aside from owning our home, which she was fortunate to purchase in a time when our neighborhood was ripe for appreciation, they have one rental property that they acquired in the summertime, which she has rehabbed, rented, and will refinance soon and now has their 2nd investment property under contract. She plans to grow her portfolio significantly over the next few years using the BRRRR strategy! Aside from Real Estate, some things she loves include: her family (especially her 5 year old daughter and 2.5 year old son!), spending time in the outdoors, connecting with community, dancing and bike riding.
