To all the female investors!!!

To all the amazing women investors on BP! My name is Jenny Cunningham from FL, I started investing in real estate about 2 years ago with my partner (male) and have mainly focused on doing flips while recently looking to get into the rental market as well. As I'm sure you all know being a female in the investing world has its challenges of which I have faced with many with people not showing me the same respect as my partner receives. I did some quick searches but can't find any groups directed to women investors and I want to see if anyone is interested in a female group chat where we can bounce ideas, questions or anything to do with the investing world and help each other out! I think it would be very beneficial for the less experienced investors to get a chance to talk to the experienced investors and hear some of the challenges they have been able to overcome as a female investor. Hoping this can help everyone from the beginner to some of the most experienced. If you're interested please comment here or send me a quick message. I'd love to hear from everyone!!

John Thedford Let's not be ignorant here. I think you could have seen from the amount of interest alone that this is something female investors have to deal with. I'm Jenny's partner and I witness it first hand on a very regular basis. Sometimes it's minimal and other times it's blatantly obvious that she isn't getting the respect she deserves just because she's a young female doing business in a male dominated industry. It's very easy for us to say it doesn't exist when we have absolutely zero knowledge of what it's really like to be in their shoes. Josh and Brandon ask this question to almost every female investor that they have on their podcast for a reason.

    Am I allowed to post in this thread???:)
    At our last REIA meeting, a female HML introduced herself (all new attendees get that opportunity). After the meeting, she was surrounded by investors wanting her card. I got one as well. I believe there are lots of opportunities. ANYONE can put in an offer. Anyone can sell their flip regardless of gender. Are there fewer women investors? I don't know, but I certainly see a LOT of women who own RE brokerages. I am not sure the barrier you feel exists is as great as you perceive, or possibly doesn't exist at all.
