Hi, I’m Erika ! I went from burnt out over-committed Mom to full living Real Estate Investor and Multi-entrepreneur. In just a few years Despite not having any money, poor credit, and a lack of resources, in just a few years I was able to scale from 0 to 38 doors with a portfolio worth more than $5 million. I went from living paycheck to paycheck to having financial options! I’m a living example of how even though the world can easily write your sentence one way, it doesn’t have to end how society often finishes it. I’m the daughter of a man who grew up sharecropping in the rural south and a woman who grew up the second oldest of 7 children living in a two-room house in Louisiana. I’m a black girl who grew up south of Dallas, who got pregnant before getting married, and had to get a job before getting a degree. I worked my way up in a corporate job for many years before leaving to pursue my own dreams in Real Estate. With God’s grace, hard work, and learning from the people that I aspired to be like, I turned a career as a Real Estate Agent into a multi-million dollar Real Estate empire that provides jobs, empowers the community, and provides online education to help others write a different sentence too.

How to make the 2025 market work for you (Example inside)✨
|
Hey Reader, In yesterday's email I shared how wealth is built in a dip. Today, I wanted to give you an example of what that looks like in 2025. I love seeing my clients take advantage of the current market and use it to their benefit — especially first-time buyers who are thinking long-term. If you're new to real estate and wondering how you can take advantage of the market this year, check out this story. Let me tell you about Skylar. After attending The Owning It & Living It Experience last fall, Skylar knew she wanted to become a homeowner — but like many first-timers, she wasn’t quite sure where to start. Once she joined one of my programs, we sat down, got clear on her goals, and created a strategy that made sense for her. Just two months later, Skylar closed on her very first home — and she didn’t just buy a house. She made a smart, strategic move that’s setting her up to build long-term wealth. Skylar is what I call a Step-Up Investor — someone who buys their first home intentionally, knowing it will become their first rental property later. Smart, right? I actually broke down the full Step Up Strategy on my latest podcast episode — if you haven’t heard it yet, you can watch it here. What do I love most about Skylar’s story?Not only did they buy a brand new home under market value, but because they used the market to their advantage… they were able to negotiate $26,000 in seller-paid closing costs. Yes, you read that right. They had the option to use that money toward:
In this market? Buyers have leverage. And they are not the only ones. 📊 The Market is Shifting — and Buyers Have PowerAfter the wild seller’s market of 2021–2022… and the high-rate pause of 2023–2024…
What that means for you: ➡️ You have room to negotiate This is a totally different market than we’ve seen in recent years. What questions do you have about the market or buying this year? 📬 And make sure to check your inbox tomorrow — I’ll be sharing how investors are still winning without using their own money.

Hey Reader, One of the biggest reasons I believe 2025 is the best time to invest in real estate in the last 7 years is because of the type of market we’re in right now. I remember in 2020, helping clients look for homes and watching them go up against 15+ offers. Not only did they have to pay over asking price, but they also had to: Waive or shorten their due diligence Cover all of their closing costs And expect zero negotiation from the seller That’s what buying in a hot seller’s market...
Hey Reader, You ever heard that saying, “Buy low, sell high?”Well, I want to show you what that actually looks like — in real life. I have a client who bought 2 properties in 2008… right in the middle of one of the scariest financial moments in our lifetime.Each property cost just $5,000.People thought they were crazy. But here’s what they did: They rented both homes out using Section 8, which gave them guaranteed monthly income — even while the world felt uncertain. Fast forward to today:...
Hey Reader, How did your week go? I know life can feel a little heavy sometimes, so I hope you’ve been able to find a few moments of rest and reset in your day-to-day — even the small ones count. That kind of peace is so necessary right now. I’ve been craving some time outside to clear my head with a good hike, but whew… Georgia pollen said absolutely not 😩 Luckily, I’ve got some fresh air, beautiful views, and zero pollen coming my way soon in the Pacific Northwest with friends. I cannot...
