Episode Details

“We don't yell if people make mistakes. We want them to take risks, we want them to try things,” says Jilliene Helman, Founder and CEO of RealtyMogul. Jilliene has loved real estate since she was a little girl and always knew she wanted to go into the “money business.” After getting rejected from a handful of real estate related jobs, Jilliene decided to start her own real estate company. She compiled her experience from banking, past family real estate investments, and copious amounts of research to create a real estate company with a clear mission: helping individual investors live the lives of their dreams by generating wealth through real estate. Now, Jilliene’s company, RealtyMogul has achieved impressive success and was recently named the #1 Commercial Real Estate Crowdfunding Platform by Motley Fool. On today’s episode, Jilliene shares her wisdom on finding your niche in real estate. She explains that there is a subset of real estate for everyone. If you like design, Jilliene suggests looking into Airbnb where you can decorate your property to your taste. If you like math, you can focus on one piece of the market that tailors to your specific mathematical interests. Her advice is to make money, but also to fill your life and career path with something that is deeply fulfilling and that caters to your natural strengths.  Tune into today’s episode of the Real Estate InvestHER Show for a conversation with Jilliene Helman about why real estate is one of the best asset classes available to individual investors, the politics behind real estate, and the importance of self-care for career-focused women. Then, be sure to check out Jilliene’s features as an expert on startups and real estate on Bloomberg, CNBC, The New York Times, and Yahoo! Finance and Entrepreneur.
