The 3 Cs to Evaluate Potential Team Members

Uncategorized Dec 09, 2021

What makes a great team member? I always come back to the three C’s when I’m evaluating someone to be on my team, to work for me, or to welcome into my inner circle. These 3 C’s are (in order of importance):

1. Character: this tells me everything I need to know about them. I evaluate how trustworthy they are, I evaluate how they treat all people (like the waitstaff, their assistant, me, etc), and I evaluate their overall integrity. I only want to work with people who are trustworthy and who respect the people around them, so character is a big one for me.

2. Commitment: you don’t want to bring someone on your team who you can’t rely on! So commitment is another key value that I consider before I start working with someone. I look at their commitment to our shared mission/vision/values- are they practicing what they preach? I also evaluate their commitment to our shared project- are they holding up their side of the deal? Are they hitting deadlines? Are...

AKA: Taxes!

Did you know that the government actually encourages real estate ownership? Buying real estate often lowers your taxes and with depreciation it can appear as though you’re running at a loss. Even though you’re making income, you have lower taxes and no self employment tax on rental cash flow. So more money just goes right into your pocket! That’s the beauty of real estate- it allows you to keep more of the money you make, instead of giving it to the government.

3 Things to Do Between Thanksgiving and the New Year to Make Sure You're Ready to Crush it in Real Estate Next Year

Uncategorized Nov 25, 2021

If you're in the States, I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. I want to say THANK YOU! I'm so grateful that you're along on this journey with me!

I firmly believe that real estate is one of the best ways to build wealth, and that women with wealth give back to their families, communities, and the world. Thank you for doing your part to make the world a better place!

As you enjoy your Thanksgiving feast (or not), remember that not much happens in the Real Estate Investment world in this period between Thanksgiving and New Years' Day.

After Thanksgiving, most sellers will wait until mid-January to put their properties on the market. Many of the insurers, lenders, contractors, lawyers. etc. go on their holiday breaks, so the timelines for closing deals and doing rehab slow way, way down.

It's a sleepy time for deals, but there are definitely things you can be doing. So what can you do to get ready to start making some/more money in real estate next year?

I have three...

5 Reasons Why Real Estate Investing is the Best Investment

Uncategorized Nov 18, 2021

IMHO real estate investing is the best investment. It's better than the stock market and it's WAY better than just putting money in the bank. Here's why:

1. Passive Cash Flow: when you put your money into real estate, you have tenants pay your mortgage. So you receive passive income every month. When you have enough passive income streams that it equals or exceeds your expenses, that is financial freedom!

2. Federal Tax Benefits: because of the way the tax code is structured, you can be making money on real estate, but for tax purposes, it looks like you've lost money. That means you're paying less in taxes. When you're building wealth it's important to remember it's not just what you make, it's what you get to keep that matters! Real estate helps you keep more of your money.

3. Leverage: if you want to buy $100,000 worth of stocks you'll have to put $100,000 in a brokerage account. However, if you want $100,000 worth of real estate you can put 20% down, 10% down, or sometimes 0% down...

Shirley Chisholm was the first black woman elected to Congress, representing New York’s 12th District. She served for seven terms!! Chisholm was also the first African American to make a bid to become President of the United States in 1972, as a Democratic representative.

She was an advocate for women and minorities, and she, and her all-female staff, made incredible improvements to the lives of many inner-city residents.

Shirley was a trailblazer. She made her own opportunities and didn't let anything stand in her way. Today we celebrate her.

This is How to Calculate your NET WORTH

Uncategorized Nov 11, 2021

Do you know your net worth? It's not that hard to calculate.

One of our Goddesses asked if she can include her Cryptocurrency in her net worth. Another asked if her car can be included.

The answer is Yes! You can include those things in your net worth calculation, along with a lot of things you probably hadn't thought about.

Your net worth is the value of your assets (what you own) minus your liabilities (what you owe).

An asset is anything you have that has significant value. Here are the assets you can include in your net worth calculation:

  • Properties (residence*, vacation homes, investment properties)
  • Furnishings
  • Cars and other vehicles
  • Art, jewelry, and other valuable possessions
  • Investments -- stocks, bonds, etc.
  • Equity value of investments in syndications ( This value usually rises, the longer you are in a deal!
  • Businesses you own or have an ownership interest in
  • Cash (savings accounts, checking accounts, CDs, Crypto accounts)
  • Retirement Accounts, College Funds, Health Funds...
