How did you get started investing in real estate? I was a female executive in corporate America
and realized that I was quickly heading toward a corporate ceiling that as a woman I was not going to be breaking through. I decided to turn my attention and talent toward something that I could grow and develop without limits and real estate was that opportunity for me. A few properties and a few months in, I bought my first 'sight unseen’ at a sheriff's sale. When I opened the front door and realized I had purchased a ten-family I became an instant landlord and I haven't looked back since.
What are the top two characteristics you exhibit that have made you a successful investor?

How do you manage work/life balance? It is my greatest challenge. I absolutely love what I do, so for me it really doesn't feel like work. That being said, though, I do recognize that it can—and at times has—thrown my life off balance. Three of our company core values are God, family and work, and I ask my team to live out those values and to live them in that order. I won't say that I am successful with that challenge every day but it does help us to find that much needed balance.
