in Las Vegas on Short Sales, her real estate investments
began soaring. “Within a few months I had 30 properties
under contract and a short sale negotiator working for
me full time.”
With a promising new job in Corporate America,
Laura had planned to keep investing in real estate as a
side business. But when this part-time income outpaced
her salary, she took a leap of faith and plunged into real
estate full time – and her career skyrocketed. And then,
the rubber met the road…What came next can only be
explained in Laura’s own words:
“After a few years, it began to get boring. I knew
there was something missing; there had to be more to
this. The money was great but my heart wasn’t in it.
Writing a book wasn’t interesting for me – I’m more
of a hands-on person. In 2010, with the Internet so
popular, I decided to build a website teaching about
real estate.
For a year and a half I worked on this website
at night, every night from 8 pm to 2 to 3 am in the
morning. I had a limited budget at that point so I did
the work myself and was still doing real estate in the
daytime. I didn’t really know yet if I was going to do
something with this website – I didn’t really know
where I was going with it. So I basically did the videos,
and basic content and started it as a membership site
and launched it in August 2011. It was called RealEs-
tateMentorshipOnline.”
My focus at this point was just to give training to

people about buying real estate, and within a year it
was successful, I guess, for a membership site. But
people kept telling me, ‘You need to go out there, you
need to talk to people, you can’t hide behind a com-
puter – you have much more of a presence, charis-
ma.’ This one person, now a good friend, he kind of
pushed me to do that. That’s why I started doing these
live events. I started first in St Louis, as that’s where I
lived, and slowly expanded into other areas.”
It had come full circle. This bright young woman
– nurtured by a Hawaiian firm full of sage agents so
openly generous with their time and wisdom – realized
her own life would really only be complete by inspiring
others to fulfill their dreams.
