Accredited Investor
Many of you in our REIG Investor Club had questions about our latest multifamily investment opportunity, which is only open to Accredited Investors. So I thought I would send out this explanation.
Early in my real estate investment career, I realized that many deals were first (and often only) offered to men who were part of an established network. The reality is that many investments require there to be a “pre-existing relationship” between the sponsor (the person bringing the deal) and the passive investors. I created the REIG Investor Club to provide opportunities to women that they might not otherwise have the time for or access to.
So, are you an ...
As you probably know, my mission is to help 1 million women create financial freedom through real estate investing. For women that are in committed partnerships where their money is tied together with their significant other's, this means that they need to make decisions about how to invest successfully as a couple.
Unfortunately, many couples try but fail because they make some serious mistakes. These mistakes mean that not only are these couples unsuccessful with their investing (either having lackluster results or even losing money), but these mistakes put a serious, and sometimes fatal, strain on their relationship.
I made a quick video with my hubby Peter (< 2 min.) sharing the 5 biggest mistakes that couples make when trying to invest together. Click here to check it out.
5 Biggest Mistakes:
To be honest, it's a lot easier to attract people to you, than going after people to join your team or business. When you create a platform and put yourself out there it's kinda like you are the honey and the bees come to you. It's a lot easier to do it that way! Instead of chasing people down, I like to put out as much value as I can and attract people to me! (This is also how I've created my list of investors...)
What if you’re really excited about investing in real estate, and your partner’s not on board yet? How do you entice them to collaborate with you? If you're in a long-term relationship, it can be critical for you to have their significant other's support in order to achieve maximum success.

Here are three tips to help you get your partner as excited as you are to move forward:
First, spend some time together dreaming about what a future in a 10+ life might look like. What would it be like to be financially free if you had enough passive income streams from real estate investing? What would you do with your time? What would you do as a couple? As a family, what are your plans? What would you do if you could give back to the world in some way? The more exciting your vision is, the more eager your partner will be to join you on your journey.
Second, inquire about your...
Real talk: not all advice is good advice. Often people are giving you advice based on their own experience (or lack thereof) and/or opinions. Often they’ve never even had experience in the area they’re trying to give you advice about. Or sometimes people are coming from a place of fear, so their advice might not be that applicable or helpful to you. So we encourage you to be selective about the people you take advice from. We recommend taking advice from people who are already succeeding in the field that you hope to be succeeding in. They are already in the arena, they are doing the work and they can speak honestly to their experience and how it can help you. Anyone else has the potential to negatively impact your journey before you even begin, or give you advice that doesn’t apply to you or will hold you back.
Be selective about the people you let into your space, goddesses, and don’t let anyone scare you out of going for your dreams!

Some people prefer to keep their work and personal lives separate. Others relish the opportunity to share their passions and careers with their significant others. Real estate investing is ideal for designing a life that's good for family and business because of the flexibility and freedom to carve your own path.

Women are 50% of the population, but less than 30% of real estate investors are women. Why is that?
One reason is that many women don't even see it as a possibility for themselves. Another big reason is fear.
Women are scared to get involved in real estate investing because: they don't know enough about it; they don't think they have sufficient resources; they don't know who they can trust; and/or they don't have the right guidance or mentorship to begin powerfully.
That's why I'm so passionate about the REI Goddesses community.
Alice went on to get a scholarship to college and then she got heavily involved in the Civil Rights Movement. She wrote many short stories, poems, and novels. Her novel, "The Color Purple" won a Pulitzer Prize, was later adopted into a movie by Steven Spielberg, and eventually turned into a musical produced by the queen herself, Oprah.
