Description

After a strong case of “mommy guilt” working as an assistant principal, pregnant with her second child, Deba Douglas knew she needed a way out of the rat race. A run-in with Rich Dad Poor Dad prompted her to begin saving so she could start buying rental properties. She called her lender, found a property, and spent her and her husband's entire savings on the down payment. Little did she know that this one decision would set her life’s course in an entirely different direction.

Now, just seven years after first looking into real estate investing, Deba has thirty rental properties and doesn’t work at her W2 anymore! How did she do it so fast, especially with kids to care for, bills to pay, and no prior experience in real estate investing? One BAD piece of beginner advice could have thrown her entire investing career off track, but she quickly learned from her mistake and leveled up at light speed!

Deba is sharing how she went from real estate investing zero to hero, doing everything from BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) investing, building new construction rental properties, flipping houses, and becoming an agent herself to help other investors. Want to escape the nine-to-five grind and get on the fast track to financial freedom? Do it all like Deba!
