Mentorship has been a critical part of my personal and professional journey. I truly believe that we don’t get where we’re going alone — we grow through the people who guide us, challenge us, and believe in us along the way.

One of the best mentors I’ve ever had is Carmel West . Her grace, wisdom, and steady encouragement helped shape me as a leader. She didn’t just tell me what to do — she saw potential in me, challenged me to stretch myself, and supported me as I grew. Carmel helped me hone my leadership skills, and I carry so much of what I learned from her into how I lead today.

As I continue to grow and pour into others, I’d love to hear from this amazing community:

Who was a mentor who made a difference in your life? What did they do that stuck with you?

Your stories will not only inspire me, but also help me become a better mentor to others.

Looking forward to learning from you all!

Hi everyone,

After 25 years in healthcare leadership and health information management, I’ve recently transitioned more of my time into real estate with a strong focus on short-term rentals. I’ve always loved home design, creating great guest experiences, and running efficient operations—so STRs have felt like a natural fit.

One of the most fulfilling chapters of my career was leading two successful teams under an incredible mentor, and now I’m using those leadership and organizational skills to continue building success in  real estate in the Jacksonville "Beaches" area.

I currently own and manage a few short-term and long-term rentals and am looking to grow my portfolio and network. My goal is to learn as much as I can from this community while eventually replacing my annual healthcare income doing what I love! (Real Estate).

I’d love to hear from others who made a mid-career pivot—

• What do you wish you knew when starting in STRs and Real Estate?

• What helped you stand out or scale effectively?

• Any lessons you’d share with someone bringing strong business leadership but still learning the RE ropes?

Thanks in advance for the support and wisdom—I’m excited to connect and grow!

Hi everyone!

I’m so excited to officially join the BiggerPockets community under my own account! For years, I’ve shared my husband’s profile as we’ve built connections, learned from others, and grown together in the real estate space. Now, I’m stepping out to build my own network and presence as both a licensed real estate agent and investor.

I have experience in both short-term and long-term rentals, and real estate has become a true passion—both professionally and personally. I love helping others find great properties, and I’m always looking to learn more about investing strategies, market trends, and ways to grow sustainably.

I’m here to connect, collaborate, and contribute. If you’re in the same boat—or just want to talk rentals, investing, or real estate in general—I’d love to connect!

Looking forward to meeting more of you and growing together,

Tiffany
