Rebecca Thompson transformed her first real estate investment by strategically subdividing a Philadelphia duplex. After joining the WIIRE Community post-divorce, she discovered an off-market property for $265,000 with significant potential. Navigating the subdivision process, Rebecca worked closely with township officials and an engineering firm, investing $7,000 to convert the duplex into two marketable units. Her total renovation cost of $75,000 strategically positioned her for success, ultimately generating $35-$40,000 in profit. What distinguishes Rebecca is her problem-solving approach and commitment to learning. By leveraging community mentorship, she overcame the typical obstacles faced by beginner investors. Her method focused on understanding local housing needs, building critical relationships, and remaining adaptable throughout the investment journey.Rebecca's story illustrates that successful real estate investing isn't about perfection, but about persistent learning, strategic thinking, and willingness to take calculated risks.

In our 200th podcast episode, we're revealing our five-year journey from corporate jobs to successful real estate investing. Starting with zero experience in 2020, we quickly learned that success comes from persistent action and strategic learning. Our early years were marked by hustle and extreme frugality. We quit our corporate jobs within two years, acquiring multiple properties through creative financing and bold negotiation. Each mistake became a valuable lesson in building our investment portfolio. By 2022-2023, we shifted from pure acquisition to developing systematic approaches. We hired property managers, created business infrastructures, and learned to work smarter. Our 2024-2025 strategy focused on portfolio refinement, including selling high-maintenance properties, diversifying investments, and exploring passive income streams such as short-term rentals. Our biggest takeaway? Real estate success is a journey of continuous learning and strategic risk-taking. We went from being scared first-time investors to confident entrepreneurs, proving that with determination and the right mindset, financial freedom is achievable. For female investors feeling intimidated: if we can do it, so can you. Your financial independence is waiting!

What if one moment shattered everything you thought your life would be? For Kathy Fettke, that moment came when her husband was suddenly diagnosed with melanoma - and doctors told them he might only have six months to live. Two little kids. A mortgage they could barely keep up with. No plan B. But instead of breaking, Kathy turned that fear into fuel. She used her tiny weekend radio show to start interviewing successful people, desperate to learn how they built real, lasting wealth. What she discovered changed everything - and set her on a path to financial freedom, purpose, and impact. Today, Kathy is the Co-Founder and CEO of Real Wealth, helping thousands of families create passive income and true financial independence through real estate. In this raw and powerful conversation, we talk about the mindset it takes to rebuild when life falls apart, the truth about money and fear, and why living unapologetically might just be the most radical thing you can do. It's not just a story about real estate. It's a story about resilience, faith, and finding freedom on the other side of fear.

In this podcast episode, we dive deep into why women often struggle with analysis paralysis in real estate investing. As female investors, we understand the psychological barriers that hold us back - from social conditioning to perfectionism and fear of making mistakes. We share practical strategies for overcoming these challenges, including creating a precise investment Buy Box, starting with low-risk properties, and tracking personal wins and lessons learned. We emphasize how critical community support is in transforming hesitation into confident action. Through our personal stories and experiences from successful female investors, we reveal that second-guessing is normal but shouldn't prevent wealth building. We encourage you to trust your own research, embrace imperfect first investments, and take bold steps in real estate. Our key message this week is simple: you don't need to be perfect to start investing. Whether it's a small duplex or a partnership investment, taking action is more important than waiting for the ideal moment. We've learned that surrounding yourself with supportive investors can dramatically shift your mindset and accelerate your investment journey. By understanding these barriers and implementing strategic tools, women can confidently build their real estate portfolios and create lasting financial success.
