Need Inspiration! Any Solo Women Investors Out Here?

I'm looking for a little inspiration on this investment journey.  I want to hear your story as an example of what's possible as a single woman investor doing portions of the Rehab / Remodel / Flipping yourself in order to cut construction costs.  A lot of the stories I'm seeing are those of amazing couples who are able to tag team on a project, actively doing the physical labor to save money.  Any tips, tricks, challenges, mindset, resources welcome!

Thank you!

My husband and I are a star team and we do ALL the work ourselves. The first thing I think of is: We get exhausted a lot of the time! It's no small feat to rehab entirely on your own but we do see 6 figure profits doing it this way on almost every house thus far. I do the designing, and also work with vendors, shop for best deals, pick up the products and supplies, then if I have extra time I help with the physical work and do paint, trim, bath tile installs, flooring, roofing, wood cutting and more! And I feel rather unique since I am technically a smaller woman with health issues so I do have to push myself and work harder than most ppl who feel normal. When ppl ask me if rehabbing is easy - I always tell them it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life!
