I'm a 77-year old widow on fixed income, an Asian-American with a special need son. 

You don't want sketchy areas because you will get crappy tenants and smart females won't want to live there (too dangerous at night).

I'm also in Chicago (like @Jonathan Klemm :), and am always looking to connect with more female RE investors, especially those who are actively doing, or aspiring to work on, fix & flips.

I am 74 female, been managing a duplex for yrs without too much difficulty but tired of it - have vacancy coming and several repairs required. 

Whether you like it or not this is actual currency and by the seconds of time valued in actual US dollars with US cash dispensing ATMs etc...It has been mostly an Asian deal so far...We can speculate if the new tech is fully adopted by Americans what that could mean for the future.

As Ian said, it's like missing the bus - if doesn't feel great, but another bus is coming.  

Another female developer?!

Blackrock has partnered with Coinbase to offer institutional bitcoin access.Send me a link when the NY TImes publishes your opinion on anything.Blackrock would sell young females to the Taliban if they thought there was money in it.  

Had very interested person who is an adult female almost 40 with no employment history to speak of (acting in plays, etc) but nothing for several yrs living with retired Dad. 

I have a female MF developer/investor client in Phoenix that would be a GREAT contact for you.
