Getting Started in Real Estate Investing with Farrah Ali

Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

Getting started in real estate investing can be tough at times. If you're feeling a little stuck; if you’re not moving forward at the pace that you would like to; then this show is for you.

Listen in today as my guest Farrah Ali tells you how she built an impressive portfolio of 38 rentals, completed six flips, and did 21 wholesale deals in just six short years. However, it took 9 months from her first deal to get her second deal, and she’s going to tell you why that was a blessing in disguise.

Farrah is also an author, and she has a brand-new course that she will tell you about. If you’re looking for inspiration, you will find it in this show.
