I never thought I’d be a Realtor. In fact, I started my real estate journey completely by accident over a decade ago.
Back then, I was an online coach helping women heal their gut and balance their hormones. Business was thriving, and I started making more money than I ever had before. So I did what many people think they’re supposed to do when they start making money — I bought a house.
Let me tell you, I had no idea what I was getting into.
I still remember buying that first home — I was so nervous.
“What if I can’t make the payment?”
“What if I hate the house after putting all my money into it?”
Well… that’s pretty much what happened.
I spent a decent chunk remodeling it, and after a year, I realized I hated the neighborhood. I turned to a wealthy friend for advice, and they said something that, at the time, sounded crazy:
“Rent it out. Even if you just break even.”
I thought, Why on earth would I do that? But I trusted this person, and I wanted the kind of financial freedom they had. So I tried it.
I ended up making around $200 a month in profit — nothing life-changing, but it was something. I rented that house for two years while living in my new neighborhood, I loved the new neighborhood and knew, there was no turning back. Then I got pregnant, and selling that first home suddenly made sense — I was able to cash out with a six-figure profit, just in time to give myself breathing room as I transitioned into motherhood and a new work schedule.
That was the first time I truly understood the phrase,
“Make your money work for you.”
I was hooked.
I started dabbling in hard money lending for other investors — which was fun… until it wasn’t.
I got burned by someone who pulled a fast one on me, and I lost money.
That loss was a turning point. I realized I wanted to be more active in the real estate world — not just sitting on the sidelines.
So I slowly began winding down my coaching business and got more serious about investing. I flipped my second personal home and made multiple six figures on that sale, which gave me a solid cushion for the career transition.
Then I joined a real estate coaching program, and one of the first things they said was:
“Get your license — find your own deals, fix them, sell them.”
I debated between getting licensed in Las Vegas or Southern Utah. I chose Southern Utah because the opportunities were better, and I already had connections with investors who were eager to find nightly rentals in the area (which are surprisingly easy to come by in Utah).
Since then, I’ve helped investors:
-
Find land to hold and develop later
-
Flip single-family homes
-
Build spec homes from the ground up
-
And in some cases… some of my investors fell so in love with Southern Utah that they decided to move here!
So, why am I sharing all this?
Because I didn’t start with a background in real estate. I started with curiosity, a willingness to learn, and the guts to take calculated risks — even when they felt scary.
If you’re looking to build wealth, diversify your portfolio, or just explore what’s possible through real estate investing — I’d love to help.
Whether you want to find your first flip, buy land to hold, or dive into short-term rentals, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s make your money work smarter — and have some fun doing it.
