I started by accident! I was working in Boston and needed to live close to the city, so when we were looking for our first home, we decided to buy a multifamily home so we could split the housing cost with our tenants.

I had no idea this was a type of investing called House Hack! I was then hooked.

I realized that in my corporate life, I had very little control over my career trajectory, salary growth, or time. This led to the interest in achieving financial freedom with real estate.

Not knowing what you don’t know. There is SO much info out there but also not a lot of direction.

Additionally, lack of support. Most people around us felt real estate investing was risky and though it came from a good place, they discouraged us from pursuing it.

What helped you to overcome those challenges?

Realizing that we had to blaze our own path to achieve financial freedom, and the goals we had for our family were the most important.

So, we leaned heavily into networking with other like-minded people!

What was the most stressful challenge you had to overcome during your career?

The transitions. Every time you are trying a new strategy, entering a new stage, etc., it’s hard and you need to work really hard on your mindset.

The most rewarding thing has been being able to free up time and space to spend with my family and also teaching other women how they, too, can achieve financial freedom!

We tend to utilize the Massachusetts MLS but lean heavily into our network, as well as relationships with real estate agents and lenders.

What software tools did you try using in your investing business but found them not useful?

We’ve tried many real estate investment tools and I wouldn’t say they weren’t useful. It was just too many tools at once and we wanted to run more lean.

Not any one program, but definitely lean into networking through Meetup. This is where the biggest part of our education happened.
