As a former bank manager and busy mom, I felt stuck in the corporate grind, craving more time with my family. That's when I discovered real estate investing—and I haven't looked back since. I shared how I started small, investing just $3,000 in my first rental property, and grew it into a multi-million dollar portfolio.

We start with acquisition, the hands-on stage where you set your goals, find the right property, and build a reliable team to support you. Next, we tackle the often-overlooked stabilization phase, where the key to long-term success lies in setting up tenants, streamlining operations, and transitioning your investment to a more passive state. Lastly, we dive into the exit strategy, explaining how I assess my property portfolio each year to decide whether to hold or sell properties based on performance and market conditions. Whether you're a first-time investor or looking to grow your portfolio, this episode is packed with practical tips to guide your investment decisions and maximize returns. KEY POINTS: - Phase 1: Acquisition - Determine your market, have a rental strategy, and create your team - Phase 2: Stabilization - Choose tenants, set up property management, and create systems for business - Phase 3: Exit Strategy - Factors to consider: increased expenses, difficulty finding tenants, and low cash flow QUOTES: “Don't just go out there and start buying property. You need to have a strategy — some goals that you are working towards.” – Erika Brown “One indication that you truly have stabilized your property is that you don't have to be actively involved on a day-to-day basis. That is an example that things are stable.”  – Erika Brown RESOURCES:  [BACKFLIP] Struggling with property data and financing?

I had chills this entire episode because I'm sitting down with someone who is changing the trajectory for families who want to build generational wealth but don't know where to start. Kendra Barnes, or The Key Resource, is on the podcast today and as she's sharing her real estate and early retirement wisdom, I'm thinking about all of you who will listen and take something away and how that will change your life and your family's life. I'm thinking about the THOUSANDS of people in her online community that she's helped purchase their first property and the seeds she's planted that will be growing for generations to come. I'm really proud of Kendra and the life she's building with her husband. Kendra is a full-time Real Estate Investor, founder of The Key Resource and author of ACRES. Her real estate investments afforded her the ability to retire from the 9-5 life at the age of 32. She created The Key Resource to inspire, empower and educate people about the power of home ownership and Real Estate investment. Her key message to anyone looking to buy a home or a rental property is: “You don't have to hit the lottery or be left an inheritance to buy property. You can start with what you have right now. You are worthy of wealth.” Even if you feel like real estate or building wealth is not your thing, we also talk about her writing a book and having her daughter during the pandemic, how she's learning to celebrate her wins without being too hard on herself, prioritizing yourself even when there are a million and one things pulling at your attention and so much more.

I will be shouting out all 5-star reviews on the show!Today, we sit down with returning guest Kendra Barnes, founder of The Key Resource and a real estate investor. In today's conversation Kendra speaks to us about her new book, Acres, which contains inspiring stories of 25 real estate investors who are normalizing Black wealth, one acre at a time.Part of her inspiration behind writing this book is her observation that there is a “Black Renaissance” of sorts taking place today, where investing among the Black community is drastically gaining steam. To Kendra, this is Black history in the making, and it's well worth documenting.Listen in as Kendra offers her tips on navigating times of uncertainty such as the pandemic, and how to determine whether it's time to sell a property. She also speaks on the unique opportunity that is the Travel Nurse rental, and her two pieces of advice for new or aspiring investors.Highlights1) Kendra acknowledges that her story is unique, inspiring, and empowering; but, everybody else who has tasted success in this industry has a story as well. It's important to collect different experiences and viewpoints, as doing so can result in a rising tide that raises all boats.2) Real estate is considered “passive income”, but there are seasons. There will be weeks—if not months—where nothing happens, and other weeks where you have an influx of business. Take note of the pros and cons as you hold your properties over time to give you greater clarity on when it might be time to sell.3) If you're just getting started in real estate investing, begin with a money goal in mind. This will help you work backwards and create a game plan for where you need to be. Also, once you acquire your first property, put yourself in a position to pivot in case your initial plan doesn't work out.How to find herWebsite - https://thekeyresource.com/Book - https://getyouracres.com/?ref=32IG - @thekeyresourcePre-order my new course "A Beginner's Guide to Finding Your First Tenant"- https://bit.ly/firsttenantcourseLearn how to invest out of state- https://www.outofstatemoney.com/ Access all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.com/linksJoin the B.R.E.D.

From board games to financial freedom! Today, Stacy sits down with Kendra Barnes, real estate investor and founder of The Key Resource.Kendra is a real estate investor who has used the buy & hold strategy to reach financial freedom with her husband. Formerly working for the government, she played the game “Cash Flow” on a Saturday night and was looking for rental properties by Monday morning!Cash Flow is a board game that's similar to Monopoly but mimics real life better. The object of the game is to get out of the “rat race” of life. To get out of that race, you have to invest & get passive income to live your dream life. Realizing that she needed to invest in real estate to win “Cash Flow” and win real-life, she bought her first duplex and has never looked back.As Stacy says, the real estate game requires courage & grit!

“We were living well, but we weren't building wealth.” This describes Kendra Barnes's life before she took the plunge into real estate, house hacking, creating her business, and, yes, building that wealth. What started as a duplex in Washington, D.C. would become a well-rounded real estate portfolio and the founding of Kendra's company, The Key Resource. Not only does Kendra generate income from rental properties, but she also offers coaching and course resources for beginner real estate investors trying to earn their own passive income. Kendra admits that house hacking was an adjustment when she and her husband started renting properties. But adjusting and refining are key characteristics that have allowed Kendra's real estate know-how to grow over time. Whether learning about the right renovations for a property, navigating her family's reactions to her real estate investments, or coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, staying adaptable has made Kendra a savvy and agile landlord and wealth builder. Tune into this week's episode of the Real Estate InvestHER Show for a conversation with Kendra about how she built her business and portfolio.

Join Theresa G. Kennedy, Creator and Host, for an exciting and informative conversation about Wealth Building through Real Estate with our guest, Kendra Barnes who is the Founder & Creator of The Key Resource. Kendra helps beginner Real Estate Investors learn how to make passive income with Real Estate (even if you don't want to be a Landlord!). Over the past four years, she has built a Real Estate portfolio that generates over $150,000 in rental income per year. By the age of 30, Kendra owned and managed 7 rental units. No, she did not hit the lottery nor was she left a hefty inheritance. She started out in Real Estate Investment with the goal of building wealth but she had no idea what she was doing. Kendra learned some hard lessons and had some major wins- but it wasn't easy. Her real estate investments afforded her the ability to retire from the 9-5 life at the age of 32. Kendra is on a mission to change the perception of what a Real Estate Investor is supposed to look like by encouraging and empowering millennials to invest in Real Estate. #dearsisterpodcast #dearsister #thekeyresource #realestate #landlord #wealthbuilder

Until 2020, the word “pandemic” wasn't one we heard very often. Fast forward to 2021, and our vocabulary of public health-related buzzwords continues to grow. One term you may have heard in recent months is “long COVID,” also called long-term COVID, post-acute COVID or long-haul COVID-19. The condition has become so widespread that, in January, the World Health Organization revised its COVID-19 treatment guidelines to include the condition.   What exactly is a COVID long-hauler? In this informative episode, respiratory disease specialist Erica Gregonis, MD, joins host Kendra Barnes to discuss what physicians are learning about the long-term effects of having the novel coronavirus. Dr. Gregonis, chief medical officer for Baptist Health Richmond and a physician with Baptist Health Medical Group Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, also discusses treatment for long-term COVID. Tune in to learn more from Dr. Gregonis about long-term COVID symptoms, complications and treatment.    You can find more information about COVID-19 at BaptistHealth.com/COVID-19.   Note: Baptist Health has developed a program for patients who have had COVID-19 and are still experiencing symptoms or do not feel they have fully recovered. If you are experiencing any issues after having COVID-19, such as persistent shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, or ongoing symptoms, you can get care now from Baptist Health's long COVID program via a virtual visit with a provider. To get started, visit BaptistHealth.com or sign-in to MyChart via your computer or mobile app.

If you’ve ever had with a landlord, you probably don’t dream of being one: The thought of dealing with on-going maintenance and tenant calls can sound less than glamorous. But done right, real estate investing can be lucrative and freeing. You can add an additional income stream, and possibly leave that 9-5.  Not only that, but with current technology and management resources- you don’t necessarily need to show up often, if at all. The challenge is, not many people know where to start when it comes to investing in real estate- or what kind of property is best for them. Today’s instructor, Kendra Barnes, is a full-time Real Estate Investor and founder of The Key Resource. Her real estate investments afforded her the ability to retire from the 9-5 life at the age of 32. She created The Key Resource to inspire, empower and educate people about the power of home ownership and Real Estate investment. She currently owns and manages 4 properties (8 rental units total)- and today, she’s going to teach us how to achieve our own investment goals. By the end of this class you’ll have tools for conquering your biggest real estate fears, tips for starting your journey on a budget and first hand knowledge of what to expect when you become a landlord. Class is in session.What are the most common fears of real estate investing and how can people overcome them? Educate yourself, know your goals and figure out what type of investing is right for you. What are some tips for investing with the least amount of risk? Fundrise, invest in tax liens and Kendra's favorite is house hacking! Buy a multi-unit property and live in a unit/rent the other. AirBnb is also a great way to diversify your portfolio. How do you know if you’re financially ready? Have at least 3-6 months of your personal living expenses saved up (at minimum). Are you personally able to pay the mortgage alone for 3 months? What are some options for down payment assistance? There are so many grants and options for down payment assistance. Keep in mind, you have to use these on houses you're actually going to live in (another reason why house hacking is so great). When you’re looking at properties, what are the key characteristics to look for in a good rental? Location! What's nearby? Hospital, college, military base etc. Public transit is also something to be aware of. Go to the city planning office and see what they're planning on in the next few years. Also look at trends in the area! Once you buy the rental, what do you typically do to get it move in ready? Any budget friendly tips? Craigslist, furniture auctions (BACauctions.com) and buying unboxed appliances. How have you streamlined your process to make it easier on yourself? Using online systems for payment + communication, and setting boundaries. Kendra mentioned: Cashflow: Find it here Homework: Write down your long term goals. Write down your short term money goal.

Today in the guest chair, we have Lisa Brown Alexander, Founder, and CEO of Nonprofit HR, and owner of the Wellspring Manor & Spa. I’ve interviewed a lot of side hustlers, but it’s not often that I interview a side hustler who is not an employee at their full-time job, but the CEO! Lisa was driven to serve the often-overlooked human resources needs for the social impact sector, and that is what first led her to found Nonprofit HR, now a 50-plus employee organization and the leading talent management firm in the country that works exclusively with the nonprofit sector.  It took her about 15 years to build a solid team at Nonprofit HR, that would allow her to take a step back and focus on other initiatives. One initiative was opening the Wellspring Manor & Spa with her husband. It is an oasis of peace, quiet, and renewal created for guests seeking a relaxing, wellness-infused experience. Neither she nor her husband had a background in hospitality, but they purchased a property and launched within a year.   In today’s episode, you will find out what led her to create the Wellspring Manor and Spa, even though she already had a booming career AND how she juggles being the boss at Nonprofit HR and at Wellspring Manor and Spa.

For most Americans, owning a home is a major factor in the accumulation of wealth. However, research indicates that there exists large gaps in the rate of homeownership between black and White Americans. Specially, more than 70% of white households own their own homes compared to 45-percent of Black Americans. Today, we focus on how to close that gap by interviewing Kendra Barnes, a real estate investor and founder of The Key Resource, a company and community geared toward helping millennials to accumulate wealth through real estate. In this interview, we discuss different types of investments (30:33), how to invest in real estate at any financial level (33:24), myths and misconceptions about investing (37:20), and mistakes that Kendra learned along the way (40:22). We also have a conversation about life as a landlord (43:47) and advice for first time investors (47:14).

Today's guest, Kendra Barnes, is an economist by day and a real estate investor on the side.  Once Kendra started on that path, it became addicting and she's now acquired over 4 real investment properties.   Real estate is still one of the most stable types of investment and a smart way to accumulate wealth and pass it down to the next generation.   In a world where entrepreneurship is sexy - we're encouraged to pour everything into building a business - by way of business coaches, graphic designers, copyrighters, 5-figure masterminds and some even encourage to forsake real estate at the expense of building a business. In this episode, Kendra and I discuss how she got into real estate, some of the mistakes she's made, some of the common misconception about how easy it is to acquire real estate investment property, and what Kendra is doing to spread the word.   Kendra has been featured in Black Enterprise and Forbes.   To find out more about this episode, visit www.artsteele.co/ep59-kendrabarnes

On this episode of the Todd Capital Millionaire Podcast we interview Mrs. Kendra Barnes. Kendra owns 8 rental units and is currently working to retire early using real estate. Key points from the show: Verify the rent roll to make sure that what the seller is saying they receive in rent is actually being received Maintain cash reserves so you can remain solvent if there is a vacancy Representation matters When using AirBNB, be transparent and let the guests know what kind of neighborhood the rental is in, even if its in a sketchy area. Don't be afraid of buying in not so good areas Books mentioned: Rich Dad Poor Dad Cashflow, the board game Kendra can be found at: www.thekeyresource.com instagram.com/thekeyresource

Listen to Kendra Barnes of The Key Resource share her experience as a Real Estate Investor. Her key message to anyone looking to buy a home or a rental property is: “You don’t have to hit the lottery or be left an inheritance to buy property. You can start with what you have right now. You are worthy of wealth.”

Investing in real estate can be very risky yet very rewarding. Learn how Kendra Barnes without knowing much, in the beginning, started her fast-growing real estate empire. It all started when she and her husband had an epiphany while playing a board game which inspired them to get serious about building wealth and they haven't looked back since.  While buying real estate isn't for everyone (as discussed in last week's podcast episode with Kristy & Bryce), if you do your proper research and invest wisely, you can eventually build a nest egg of asset producing properties that will serve you well on your path to Financial Freedom.  In this episode with Kendra Barnes we discuss the following: How she and her husband owned seven rental units by the time they were 30 years old Why and how real estate is a good or not so good investing option for people What makes someone successful as a real estate investor What are the steps someone can use to buy their very first property (especially if they don't have much money) Tips for someone living in a HCOL area who wants to get into the real estate game  The costs that you should be prepared for when buying and maintaining an investment property and primary residence Why you need to step out of your comfort zone to build wealth plus so much more!   Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Kendra's site- The Key Resource Naca.com Loftium.com Episode 11- Rejecting Homeownership, Traveling the World & Retiring by 31 Years Old YNAB -  You can try it free for 34 days and after that its $5 a month or $50 a year.
