Hello beautiful people! My name is Kat ....
Just heard of this group today from Bryan Field. I am new to real estate and starting my journey to set up and build a real estate portfolio that I can pass on to my children. I am still in the beginning/research phase. Browsing through YouTube, I came across Ashley and Tony's episode (Real Estate Rookie), in which they interviewed Bryan. Hearing his story truly gave me hope that it is possible for me to do this. So, here I am, pleased to meet you. I'm excited to learn, connect, and network with you all!

Hi @Katherine Cabrera! I'm a full-time active real estate investor (former engineer) in Edmonton with 32 doors, and another 24 under contract. I'm the co-host of the Edmonton InvestHER chapter, and love supporting other women in real estate, so let me know if I can help.
A few recommendations - learn as much as you can from books, podcasts, and attending free or low-cost real estate investor meetups in your area (in-person is best). Ask other investors about their story - what's worked, what hasn't, and what are they doing now. What they are doing going forward is really the most important, as what's worked in the past may not work in today's market. Try to figure our what strategy would suite your lifestyle and goals (there's SO many ways to do it!). Only then consider paying for help through a mentor or coach, who's been successful in your niche.
It is definitely possible for you if that's what you REALLY want.
