While this experience was invaluable, I felt an undeniable pull towards entrepreneurship. In 2007, I made a pivotal decision and moved to the U.S. on a short-term visa. Armed with a master’s degree in finance and training in process improvement, I had little real estate knowledge, but I was eager to carve out a new journey. My venture into real estate was anything but traditional. Against all odds—and despite the skepticism of friends and family—I enrolled in real estate training that focused on buying properties without money or a strong credit rating. People scoffed at the idea, convinced that one didn't need formal education to buy property. To me, it felt like the boldest, yet most crucial investment of my life. The turning point came when I met my mentor, Phil Pustejovsky, who saw potential in me when others only saw risks. Under his guidance, I purchased my first property—a duplex in a blue-collar neighborhood of downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. The property was a short sale; the seller was desperate to offload the asset, and I managed to negotiate favorable terms with the lender. It wasn't an easy deal to find. I had spent countless hours scouring Craigslist, cold calling “for sale by owner” ads, and pushing through roadblocks. After consulting with Phil, I realized that many investors struggled with the same issue—finding reliable leads on motivated sellers. That’s when I recognized an opportunity. I started offering lead generation services to investors, wholesalers, and real estate professionals. What began as a side gig soon evolved into a full-fledged enterprise. I applied Six Sigma principles—emphasizing process improvement, refining systems, and consistently delivering greater value to my clients. 15 years later, I’ve turned that venture into a thriving Proptech business. In a crowded marketplace of lead providers, I’ve built a reputation for delivering fresh, personalized data tailored to each investor’s needs. Many of the properties I identify aren’t listed publicly at the time, giving my clients a competitive advantage and helping them secure better deals. Today, I'm a serial entrepreneur and global real estate investor, having helped thousands of client's close deals successfully 📈. My company primarily serves clients in the U.S., while I live in the U.K. I proudly lead a dedicated team of 100 professionals, mostly women, in India, developing a system that supports investors and boosts market visibility for homeowners. Through it all, I’ve learned that the best investment you can ever make is in yourself.
