What inspired you to become interested in real estate investing?
My husband Todd (!), tax advantages, financial freedom, and the appeal of real estate investing vs getting a "real" job again!
Tell us about one of your favorite real estate transactions
Our recent purchase of a single-family home as a long-term rental. I was able to implement several "who not how" strategies to really make this deal work smoothly. We are trying to transition from a mind-set of "we can do it ourselves" to a "how can we leverage our time" mindset and this project went well in that regard.
Do you have any real estate mantras, rules, or words of wisdom you try to follow in your investing?
Does this feel light or heavy?
Passive investing is a game-changer.
Diversify your portfolio.
Please share a favorite business or real estate-related resource.
My two favorite real estate books (and yes, I recognize the irony!)
The Book on Managing Rental Properties by Heather & Brandon Turner
The Hands-Off Investor: An Insider's Guide to Investing in Passive Real Estate Syndications by Brian Burke
What do you like to do during your "off" time?
I love to travel and especially love traveling with our children (Henry, 12 & Madeline, 9) and showing them different cultures.
Run, read, hike, cycle, eat, drink good wine.
What else would you like your fellow meetup members to know about you?
Where WE can help: Todd, has a wealth of knowledge on tax strategy and analyzing/investing real estate syndication deals! Elizabeth can share how she manages our long-term rentals.
Where YOU can help: We are interested in adding a short-term rental to our portfolio (our first!) and another long-term rental (or two!), please reach out if you have a property that might be a good fit.
What is the best way for someone to get in contact with you?

Other thoughts?!
I sincerely appreciate everyone's support of BREW and sharing their valuable time to learn, invest, and connect. Whether that is through the meetup itself, facebook, the newsletter, or in our conversations, I am truly grateful for the encouragement and enthusiasm of our BREW community.
I especially appreciate the members who are willing to share their stories in the newsletter and a tremendous THANK YOU to our speaker's willingness to freely share their knowledge. You all are awesome!

Short-Term Rental Long-Term Wealth by Avery Carl This short easy read packs practical advice throughout. I appreciated the specific resources and best practice recommendations. If you are a new or seasoned STR investor, my guess is you will find at least one tip in this book that is worth the $17.99 cost!
4 out of 5 Cheers!

The Splendid and The Vile by Erik Larson This is NOT a short easy read or a real estate book but it's a great book on leadership! It is a fascinating look into Winston Churchill's first year as UK Prime Minister and his unparalleled ability to lead and inspire during a year of incredible destruction. An excellent book on leadership and courage, if you are interested in a deep dive into this period of history, this is the book.
5 out of 5 Cheers!

The BREW meetup is a casual no-pitch group with the purpose of learning and networking with other local investors. We talk about all types of real estate investing as well as pursuing financial independence. Our typical meetup format is networking, listening & learning from a speaker, and ending with a related book raffle!
Ingredients to BREW:
-We like to talk about all types of real estate investing, pursuing financial independence, meeting new people, and enjoy a great craft beer
-No-pitch group
-Family-friendly: Our 12 & 9-year-old will frequently be attending & look forward to making friends
-No cost to attend (but please plan to purchase a beverage and/or food!)
