Revitalization and Empowerment as a REI Mission

[Heather Brown]

I would like to hear from people whose real estate investing mission is to not only make money, but to improve the lives of their tenants and their communities in some way.

Like a lot of people, I have a successful career…that I absolutely hate. I want to pivot to something that is in line with my true self and live authentically before it’s too late. That’s how I ended up looking at real estate. It checks a lot of boxes for me. I love the search, analysis, maps, possibilities, etc.

But I was left feeling like, is my mission in life to collect houses? Something rang hollow.

Because of the soul searching, I have been reading books and doing some programs trying to figure out “my calling”. Currently doing The Artist’s Way. There are a lot of questions throughout about what I did as a child, interests , traits, etc. I have been reminded on more than one question that my natural drive was to want to help the underdog, the kid getting picked on, the homeless. To be clear, I’ve never been into care taking, but in helping people out of a bad situation by empowering them somehow. There’s a difference.

So of course, I thought, why can’t I focus my real estate investing on this mission somehow??

Enter serendipity when I saw today that Coach Carson's latest podcast episode is about exactly this thing! He interviewed Charm City Buyers who are revitalizing areas of Baltimore with their REI. What they are doing inspires me like crazy and found me at exactly the right time.

So, who else is doing something like this? Or helping improve lives and communities some other way through their REI?

I would love to hear your stories and get more inspiration. And open the dialogue for those interested to communicate and network.
