For some strange reason I often find that there are not that many women involved in making money in real estate.

Yes there are many female real estate agents, but the number of female mortgage brokers and real estate investors is very minimal.

Then when you take it to the next level of contracting, the number gets even smaller.

Often times, when I am introduced to a new individuals, especially when I am about to do a job for that person, I always get this “crazy” look like what am I doing there.  I guess it doesn’t help much with me looking much younger than I actually am.

Oh and don’t let me be in a hardware store like Home Depot or the local small store and ask for certain materials for certain jobs; then I really get the looks.

They always tell me that there are not that many women in real estate, especially the investment side, and it just seems “strange” to see me doing what I do and knowing what I know.

I can’t lie though, because there aren’t that many women, especially with my good looks :) , I get away with a lot of things.  I get material and tactics and even cash for deals for little to nothing.

All the “boys” want to teach me and I like to play up to it. I smile and chat with them and (even though I’m a very happy and friendly person to all, including women) I go a little extra with them.

Because of this I learned a lot about assignments and how to structure certain deals.  Yes I paid for a course that was not worth what I paid for it. I read it and learned from it. However, most of my knowledge came from the streets.

You’d be amazed at how much you learn just from doing it.  The exposure alone and word of mouth is worth millions.

Hopefully through this blog, I can help other women break into real estate and make a killing. There is too much money out there to just leave it to the men :) .
