INVESTOR STORIES
CONTRIBUTOR CORNER
The Contributor Corner Meet Michele Van der Veen An investor and designer living in the gorgeous Historic Gold Country of California, Michele Van der Veen has a knack for transforming run-down investment properties into beautiful works of art that are just as breathtaking as their natural surroundings. For the past couple years, she has shared many of her innovative design tips and fix-and-flip investment strategies with Think Realty readers. We are fortunate to have Van der Veen’s expertise in the pages of Think Realty Magazine and recently she divulged that she is enjoying contributing more and more, so of course we asked why.
Q: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUTWRITING FOR THINK REALTYMAGAZINE?
A: When people find out I am an investor/designer and that I renovate homes for a living, I find myself ending up in deep, yet informative conversations with them about the renovation process and the real estate industry. I have found that because of home renovation shows on television, a majority of Americans have one major question: “How does one get started in investing in and renovating real estate?” Since writing for Think Realty Magazine, I have come to realize I have a passion for sharing my years of knowledge, not only through conversations but through writing now as well! It has become incredibly rewarding to be able to share with so many readers who are enthusiastic about learning something that I am so passionate about. •
