She has been preaching the gospel of wealth building through real estate to women around the country for years. In this post she expounds on why women are such great investors (better than men LOL).

Dear Realtors: It’s no secret that your world is about to get rocked. If we’re being honest, it’s already started.

Between the massive growth in discount brokerages willing to play matchmaker for skinny commissions (I’m looking at you, Redfin ... Purplebricks ...), and now iBuyers like Opendoor and Offerpad, who are willing to skip the middleman altogether, it’s a brave new world out there.

You’ve seen their infomercials on late-night TV, and you’ve seen their flashy ads appear on the internet. Real estate gurus claim to have the secret to becoming an REI success, and they want to help you achieve your dreams.
