I’m guessing you found my page because you, yourself are thinking of getting into real estate investing and wonder how to get started. I was right there with you, and continue to learn, grown and take action as I begin my adventure too.

For the last 30 years, I have supported my family as full time social worker, mostly working with underserved populations like seniors and persons with disabilities. I have been committed to serving my community and have managed a busy career to make ends meet. My family means everything to me and I am willing to work hard for them. After a while though, I realized that 5 days a week schedule kept me from meeting the needs of the health and well-being of me and my family. With increase efforts, I have not received increase financial rewards that keep up with my goals. Keeping on this same path does not manifest my fullest potential both spiritually and financially. I know I have needed to break from this “comfortable” road for years and pour my heart and soul into my own business.

So I made the big decision to move into the world of real estate investing to ultimately obtain financial freedom. I decided that I need to focus my creativity energy and innovative ideas towards my business plan and begin taking control of my time.

To start, I have been consuming all the knowledge I can find with webinars, masterclasses, podcasts, and I even fly to Florida to spend 3 days with Women investors, realtors and entrepreneurs. At times I feel overwhelmed. Some weeks I felt so busy, I wanted to give up.

Then after listening to so many successful women speak the truth about how we deserve to live the life that truly has purpose, meaning, and prosperity, it finally clicked that real estate is the path to financial freedom and the most rewarding way to pursue my entrepreneurial goals. I am gaining more control of how and where I would put my time and effort to finally pursue my life goals.

And just at that moment, we just went for it and converted our Whidbey home to a short term rental. This has been a massive undertaking with a year long of projects and financial investment. We went live and listed our STR in the fall of 2022! We are still learning and adjusting our business strategy which will ultimately lead us to our dreams of more time for family and travel.
