For Female Investors: Can't Rave Enough About The WIIRE RETREATS!

I'm writing this as I'm on my flight home from the Phoenix retreat, which was my third one, & have to share!

If you haven't heard of WIIRE (women invest in real estate), it's a mostly-online community created by @ameliajorei and @grace.investing (instagram handles). I originally heard these two on the BP Rookie podcast a couple years ago, loved their energy, and loved seeing other younger women doing what I wanted to be doing, so I connected with them on IG & have been watching WIIRE evolve since then.

The whole WIIRE brand is about authenticity, fun, collaboration, everyone belonging, finding your confidence, cheering each other on.. It's a really unique vibe that I don't get from any 'similar' groups.

They do have some great online courses, but a few times a year, they also host 3-day retreats in different cities for 17-20 strangers, who seriously do leave with lifelong friends at the end. 

I've gone to the Denver, Orlando, and now Phoenix retreats over the last few years, and would highly recommend these to anyone who's either a beginner investor (1-2+ deals), or 'middle investor,' and doesn't really have many investor ladyfriends in real life to lean on. 

Some of what we usually do over these 3 days: Small group hot seats (3-4 people), masterminds, small group goal-setting.. The mastermind topics from this trip were partnerships, creative financing, and tech/software. With just 17-20 attendees, you can really get to know each person's 'haves and wants' to see how you could collaborate, and the masterminds are so interactive, more like a discussion, so everyone feels comfortable asking questions and gets really thorough answers. There's a good amount of downtime baked in too so that you can dive deeper with anyone you're really connecting with, or get some solo work time in to start implementing what you're learning.

Side note: They always book huge, gorgeous houses, and there never any no shortage of fresh food & drinks. The cost includes your stay, all food, drinks.

I know many women go with a specific goal in mind, but there is so much power in just BEING AROUND people who you can relate to, who are doing what you want to be doing, and who usually happen to have creative solutions to problems you've been stuck on & had no one to brainstorm on with!

Amelia and Grace really foster such an amazing atmosphere where everybody truly feels like they can be themselves, be silly, ask the 'stupid questions,' be VULNERABLE, etc. No one has to put on a front at these retreats. It's so refreshing. And unlike a lot of other coaches/mentors/personalities in this space, they participate in all the activities on the schedule themselves, too!

I seriously feel like I leave these retreats with solutions, feeling un-stuck, feeling inspired, feeling validated, motivated, reassured, confident... If only they had them quarterly lol.

They did just open their waitlist for the next one which is in Utah in September. If you're on the fence about making the investment, literally just figure it out and make it happen because these are so game-changing. 

I had zero real estate investing experience, no one in my family did it... I did have small business experience, but only so much can be applied... And I managed to 8x my net worth via real estate in the last 2y, 99% thanks to WIIRE & the people I've met through this community.

TLDR; Highly highly recommend these retreats to any woman who's ISO a community of like-minded, fun, authentic ladies to help pull them forward. 

Feel free to DM me if you have any private questions about these retreats, happy to chat!
