Elisa Zhang controls a $100M multifamily portfolio in Texas, Arizona, and Washington. She's a former product manager in the tech world, and after quitting her day job to invest in real estate full-time, she is passionate about teaching others to do the same. She now focuses her time and expertise on helping typical nine-to-fivers to quit their job in 10 years or less. Today, Elisa and Mark discuss the power of a side hustle, how to add value from a distance, and building momentum in top markets. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/2LDLW0B

Elisa Zhang got started in the 2008 financial crisis with the goal of quitting her job. She reached and blew past that goal and now helps typical 9-5ers to do the same. You'll get to hear her story of how she graduated from reading BiggerPockets blogs to owning 1000 units of multifamily apartments.

Mothers of Multifamily: As Large Multifamily Investors and Operators we are called to go to conferences, walk the assets we manage and others that we are thinking to invest in. We have meetings with our peers and perspective investors. We have a calling to make those connections constantly. Elisa Zhang made no excuses when she got back from a trip and realized her young baby missed her terribly. This breastfeeding super Momma made a series of posts that caught my eye. She took her baby on a weekend business trip to do ALL THOSE THINGS WITH HER SON. With the help of a great support system of family and friends, Elisa was able to be a GREAT MOM and an AMAZING MULTIFAMILY OPERATOR and INVESTOR and I am so thrilled to have her on today!
