Happy Friday, Fellow Real Estate Go-Getter! This week has been a whirlwind. I had to walk away from one deal that I worked really hard on for weeks, only to have an owner reach out to me that I'd been trying to reach an agreement with FOR FIVE YEARS! I'm hopeful that our most recent communications will get us to the closing table sooner than later. Then I went to see a 30+-unit apartment building in the DEEP hood. If you want to check out the video I did on IG, here's the trap house tour I posted. Next up, let's talk about teaming up with a friend or associate to take down real estate deals together. While everyone is asking ChatGPT to generate their ideal spouse or mate, I asked Chat to generate an image of my ideal investing partners for my 2026 RE goals. Here was the result: That said, my goal for 2026 is to do more partnering to get more deals done. If you decide to go this route, here's the game plan I recommend so you don't lose your shirt in the RE game (or precious relationships): Ok, who's ready to team up and invest in deals TOGETHER for 2026? Stay tuned, because I'll start posting deals in my newsletter as well!

Hey, Reader! Happy Saturday, Fellow Go-Getter! Can I tell you something that took me embarrassingly long to understand? God never designed any of us to be a one-trick pony. I know that sounds almost too simple. But stay with me. I spent years trying to be the thing — the finance writer, the homeschool mom, the wife, the person with the tidy brand and the published book and the life that made sense on the outside. I followed the plan. I worked the system. I was the "together" one. And then,...
Hey, Reader! Happy Saturday, Fellow Go-Getter! I want to tell you something I don't say often enough. I didn't move to Puerto Rico because it made perfect sense on paper. I moved because after my divorce, after 17 years of building a life, a brand, a family, a whole identity around something that no longer existed, I was sitting in a house I couldn't afford, in a city that reminded me of everything I'd lost, trying to figure out how to pay for housing, school for my kids, and care for an...
Hey, Reader! Happy Saturday, Fellow Real Estate Go-Getter! Puerto Rico is having a moment. And if you're thinking about investing here (or anywhere in the Caribbean), I want to talk to you about something before you book your flight and start making offers. How you show up matters.
