To Buy Your First Property

I kicked off 2023 with a workshop for my Women Who Build Wealth Community Hub; the workshop is called Fire Up Your Finances. 

In that workshop, I discussed using SMART Planning to reach your income goals. The community LOVED it for a very simple reason--many of them were familiar with SMART Planning and used it in their 9 to 5's but never applied this robust framework to their finances. 

If you're unfamiliar with the acronym SMART stands for:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Relevant 
• and Time-based.  

The concept is simple--you create a goal that follows all of the parameters I mentioned above and map out an action plan that you can track to ensure you reach your desired outcome. 

Let's say your goal is to save for a down payment on your first property. To apply the SMART framework, you would make sure your plan includes: 

The Specifics: 

Buying a property isn't complicated, but there are things you need to know...

Why Female Investors Should SERIOUSLY Consider The Philadelphia Real Estate Market – The Pros and Cons

As a Real Estate Coach and Growth Strategist, I have become a "data-driven/numbers gal," but today I'm going to generalize female investors. Women like to have all the information before they take the plunge and invest. Still, statistics show that once we're comfortable with the numbers and feel confident that we know what we're doing, we make phenomenal investors!

This week on the Women, Wealth, and Impact Podcast, I share the pros and cons of investing in the Philadelphia market from all angles to help investors identify the best opportunity for them. 

Let's zero in on some of the pros and cons needed to run a Rental Property Business in Philadelphia successfully. You'll benefit from this article if you're a new or aspiring investor.

Introduction

I have a confession: I've never been particularly interested in money. 

Sure, I've always dreamed of being rich (what kid hasn't), but my initial interest in personal finance was about helping others and less about making sure my bank accounts were swimming in cash.

However, as I've gotten older, became a mom, and started my Real Estate Investing Business, I've realized that having wealth comes with benefits! And those benefits shouldn't be available to more women of color #period.

Luckily for me (and you!), there are plenty of ways to make your dreams of financial freedom come true if you're ready to put in the time and effort necessary to achieve them. 

So here's the deal: Wealthy women have a financial blueprint that they use to gain financial success. This blog post can help you map your Blueprint if you're ready.

Something I’m reading

This week has been so hectic that I did not get a chance to start a new book. I'm finishing up writing my book, and the research I am doing to make this book a top resource for women has taken up much of my time. I'm grateful, though, and will return to my weekly reading regime starting today.

Something I'm teaching...

After last week’s Masterclass, it became more apparent that, as women, we need more education around awareness of financial growth. Many of us put it aside and “just get by,” which is not acceptable because our potential is so much bigger than that. I'm doing the Masterclass again this Saturday (1/28) at 10 am to give women the blueprint of achieving their wealth goals through home ownership and real estate investing.
