In the beginning, she was new!

Hello All. I’ve had a real love for real state for many years now. I’m saying it like am 50 years old…but I’m only 34. And yes I send “only”… I loved it so much that I even acquired my Real Estate License in my lovely state of Maryland, hoping that being an Agent would help my satisfy my craving for that RE itch I get every so often. It’s cool that I assist in selling and buying homes for my clients. It’s great and I love it, but something is still pulling me even closer to RE. Something is telling me that being an Agent is not the end, but the beginning.

I’ve owned two RE properties in my life, my first house, that I purchased at 20 and rented it out, later selling for a good profit and now another property that I am currently renting. Nonetheless, I still go to my fulltime job everyday, sit at my desk and do work for other people. I want to stop working for others and work for myself. How would I do that? Is RE investing the answer? YES IT IS! I need to make the next big step, but I still have a lot to learn. And as I look around and listen to podcasts and read blogs, most of the investment world of RE is full of men. Look at me; I am a 34-year old woman with a passion for not only selling real estate, but also investing in it. In my past experiences, being a lady, men rarely take me seriously and even try to take advantage of me. What is a little lady to do? Well, I will not let this testosterone filled industry scare me. I will sprout my way through the rugged bushes and bloom a pretty pink rose. Just what in see!

So what do I do now?
