Is it a man's world?

Hello. My name is Hillary Dandridge and I'm currently residing in Atlanta Georgia. I'm a newbie in the real estate investing world, however, I'm doing all I can do to learn more about investing. I come from a background of investors (my dad and uncles) which spark something in my to get my feet wet into investing. However, all  I've come across so far are men who are investors. From Youtube channels to Podcast that I've watched and listened to, it has always been MEN. So, I question: is this investing business a "man's world"?

With first name like your's I am not surprised at your question.. LOL

To answer your question directly.... YES ! It is woman.. Deal with it. But its probably a lot better than it was 30 yrs ago. Just like most teachers are women and so are most nurses.

As a woman you also have inherent advantage - especially if you are good looking woman, more than us dudes have.. Use your charm to your advantage.

You usually give decent answers, Chinmay. But this one is completely uncalled for.

"Yes it is woman. Deal with it." Really?!?  

And her first name has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
