She followed in his footsteps in financial technology during the 2020 re-fi purchase boom, but soon thereafter began to empathize with the struggles investors were facing when seeking loan approval.

Hey friends! This week, we are excited to welcome our friend (and MTR student success story) Virginia Wall Bubar to the show! Virginia is a member of our Facebook Community and one of our student success stories from our MTR course.Virginia currently lives in the Atlanta area with her husband (a pastor) and their three children, whom Virginia homeschools. In 2014, they bought a house with the intention to flip part of it and turn it into a rental space and while they may have taken their time to get it rented, they did what worked for them, and that has definitely worked in their favor. The one unique challenge that Virginia and her family have when it comes to buying real estate is buying properties on only one income, but they are excellent at making it happen.Virginia’s first memory of the rental property space came from her childhood when she thinks back to the time her family lived in the Bay Area and wanted to move to Florida so her parents were preparing the rental property they had in CA for sale. They were talking about how much of a headache being landlords had become and Virginia found her curiosity piqued; why were they buying another house then? Why were they so specific in the cities they were looking at living in once they moved to Florida? Her curiosity carried into adulthood and she knew this would be a space she could make a living in.A few takeaways from Virginia:Decide what you want and go for itFigure out what your hesitation is and try to attack itDon’t live in fear; move past itBe willing to make mistakes, learn from them, and keep goingIf you want to see what’s next for Virginia, head on over and follow her on Instagram!That’s all for this week. We’ll see you next time, friends!   Resources:Connect with Virginia on InstagramListen to Katie Newman’s episode WIIRE 64Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on InstagramBe the first to know when registration opens for our next retreat
