“Cancer.” One word would change this mom's life forever, requiring her to drop her career and become a full-time caregiver. But little did she know that real estate investing would bring her more time, flexibility, and freedom than she had at any W2 job. Today, she owns several rentals, including one that brings in over $6,000 in monthly cash flow! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Jane Ng and her husband had been climbing the corporate ladder when a family medical crisis turned their lives upside down. Following her daughter's leukemia diagnosis, battle, and long recovery, Jane knew her next job would need to accommodate their new normal. Real estate has provided that and more, allowing her to spend more time with her children, work without being chained to a desk, and bring in more than enough money to help support her family. After dabbling in wholesaling, long-term rentals, and other investing strategies, Jane has since pivoted to short-term rentals, leveraging her hospitality background to craft memorable getaway experiences. Stick around and she'll show YOU how to copy her success, whether you're a stay-at-home mom or a nine-to-fiver! In This Episode We Cover How Jane turned a medical crisis into a launchpad for financial freedom The luxury rental property that nets Jane over $6,000 a month How to find more affordable real estate deals (beyond your backyard) How to (legally) avoid paying capital gains tax when selling an investment property Maximizing your monthly cash flow with short-term rental investing Planning and completing a successful renovation project (step by step) And So Much More!
