About this episode

She read Rich Dad Poor Dad, got angry at herself for not having built multiple income streams... and decided to do something about it!

Tricia Baxter is a real estate rookie who got in the game in her mid-40s. In this episode, she shares how she built a healthy portfolio of small multifamily properties on the Jersey Shore.

Tricia's a busy professional with her own law practice, but she still decided to self-manage when she got started—namely, to learn the ropes and create standard operating procedures, which came in handy when she eventually hired a property manager (spoiler: that's her MVP!).

This episode is full of great tips for anyone who aspires to treat their real estate investing like the business it is!

In This Episode We Cover:

  • Self-managing your first property as a learning exercise
  • Why Tricia chose to buy long-term rentals in a touristy area
  • How she finds great vendors using private Facebook groups
  • How to handle raising below-market rents
  • Her tips for financing deals creatively
  • Juggling real estate with a demanding career
  • The importance of multiple income streams
  • And SO much more!
