“Are your investments
earning you enough
income to enjoy the
life you deserve?”

eal estate just happens to be an industry with
change as its only constant. New data can
move the market up, or down, in an instant.
Economics, weather, acts of God (earthquakes,
hurricanes) can reduce some housing values to dust
overnight, while adjoining states might see a surge
from migrating away from affected regions. Prices can
soar with success of a new industry, such as Silicon
Valley, or even marketing campaigns like the ‘imported
from Detroit’ phase.
These ups and downs have lead some people to bail
out from what could have been a profitable investing
career. What were they missing, and why are others
earning huge amounts of money in a ‘seemingly unsta-
ble’ career field? Truth is, there’s money to be made on
both sides of the fence.
Buying and selling, holding and renting, lending,
fixing and flipping are all possible tacks to take – it’s
all a matter of timing and balance.
Of course, you don’t want to jump off without a net.

limiting your risk is going to come down to experience.
When you don’t have it yourself, it makes perfect sense
to find a mentor who’s ironed out the wrinkles so you
can (literally) avoid losing your shirt.
Laura Alamery is such a mentor. Laura remembers
what it feels like to crave financial independence. She
remembers what it’s like not knowing where to start, or
who you can trust. She’s been there and done all of that
– and you can benefit from the lessons (good and bad)
that’s she’s endured or profited from.
That said, there’s a method and diligence required.
And intentional purpose alongside accountability to
soak in before you head out on your own. Laura’s got it
down to a science, from creating a plan of action based
on your goals to sharing her tools and resources to get >
