Joining us today on the Clever Investor Show is Real Estate Investor, Author, and great friend, Candy Valentino.

Candy Valentino started her business at 19 years old with no degree, no corporate background, and no money (and no internet). She successfully started, scaled, and successfully sold businesses in service, retail, e-commerce, and product manufacturing in addition to creating a vast real estate portfolio as a flipper and investor. 

At 26, Candy founded a non-profit charity. Through her business success, she bought and donated a building to the organization. Since then they have saved thousands of lives and Candy has been actively involved, personally raising millions for the charity. 

During her two and half decades as an entrepreneur, she has been named to Top Business Leaders 40 Under 40, Top 50 Women In Business, 10 People Making a Difference, and Top 10 Business Consultants by Yahoo Finance, and was the youngest female to receive the Governor’s Award in Entrepreneurship in Pennsylvania.

Candy was recently selected by Success Magazine as one of just 6 ‘Women of Influence’ and additionally listed as ‘Leaders Who Get Results’ with names like Will Smith, Gary Vee, and Brene Brown.
