This is part 2 of my conversation with Christina Stevens. Christina Stevens, CRNA is the co-founder of Queen Capital alongside her wife, Stephanie Anderson. When the pandemic hit, their mindset shifted about how they spent their most precious asset: time. After listening to the Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook, they knew they were meant for more than continuing to trade time for money. Christina is a limited partner (LP) in a fund through The Apartment Queen, and Stephanie and Christina have residential buy and hold and BRRRR investment properties in Michigan.

In this episode, Christina Stevens talks about some of the most important factors to keep in mind when investing in real estate, such as understanding your market and researching the right property before making an offer.
