Forget the perfect plan—success in business is about staying adaptable, solving problems as they come, and trusting your own vision (even when no one else does).

Leaving my corporate job for full-time real estate wasn't just a leap of faith—it was a strategic move that required discipline, planning, and bold action. In this episode, I break down the exact steps I took to set myself up for success, even before I left my 9-5. From paying off $14,000 in credit card debt with a smart debt consolidation strategy to saving three months of living expenses and securing my real estate license, every move I made was intentional. But my success didn't stop there—investing in business workshops, networking with the right people, and surrounding myself with a like-minded community played a huge role in scaling fast. Even with early challenges, I went beyond my goal of one home per month—closing 35 houses in my first year!

KEY POINTS:  - How did I make the career transition? - The necessity of financial preparation  - On learning about real estate and getting a license - On establishing credibility and connections  - On balancing full-time job and real estate work  - Reflections and lessons learned during the transition  - Taking a leap, declining job offer, pursuing entrepreneurship - The pivotal role of financial tools like HELOC  - Stay connected with other entrepreneurs  - Erika's success story of houses sold QUOTES:  “God has put a burden on your heart. He has put something in you to help solve, and it's just waiting on you. It's waiting on you to say yes." – Erika Brown “If you have a list of tasks and you are doing the $10 an hour task versus focusing on the $1,000 an hour task —- then if you're just focused to $10 an hour but you're not able to do the $1,000 an hour task, then you're going to be out of business.” – Erika Brown  [INVESTOR ROADMAP] Ready to take control of your future?

Click HERE to download the Backflip app.  This episode is extra special because it's a FEATURE episode where I was a guest on the Goal Digger podcast, hosted by the amazing Jenna Kutcher. It was a phenomenal conversation, and I knew I had to share it with you! We dove deep into the big question: Is it really possible to work less and earn more? 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. Join us as we uncover the mindset shifts needed to embrace passive income, the importance of valuing your time, and why building a supportive community is a game-changer in your real estate journey. KEY POINTS:  - On the nuances of having a passive income - How Erika's exposure to entrepreneurs encouraged her in real estate - Erika's initial real estate investment journey through self-education  - The importance of overcoming fear and intimidation in real estate investing  - Erika's approach to generating income from a vacation home property - Strategies for balancing business, real estate, and family  - The transformative impact of a $37 entrepreneurial class on Erika's business growth - Erika's vision: Create a hub for women and minorities in real estate & personal finance QUOTES: “Instead of looking at that long list of 10 things that I have to do, how can you focus on the one thing that can drive the most impact?" “You need to focus on the $1,000-an-hour task versus spending your time doing a $10-an-hour task – that was a game changer for me."

Click HERE to download the Backflip app.  In this episode, I walk you through the entire lifecycle of a real estate investment, breaking down each crucial phase so you can make smarter decisions along the way. 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?
