EPISODE 497: When done right, creative financing can be a great way to grow your business as a real estate investor.

However, how can you use it to thrive in today’s market? 

If you’re not sure where to start, then this is the episode for you!

In it, we sit down with Sunitha Rao, a former Olympian turned real estate investor who has been using creative financing to invest in real estate.

After nearly a decade of professional tennis, Sunitha retired with little money and minimal knowledge of the world beyond sports. Determined to succeed, she decided to move into the world of real estate investing.

Today, she has graduated with honors from Villanova University’s MBA program, has no student debt, and is running a thriving real estate business. 

Sunitha has grown her portfolio through a mix of creative financing methods, which she’ll be sharing with us in this week’s episode of The InvestHER Podcast.

In this episode, she’ll also be discussing how she used skills learned during her time as an athlete to thrive in the business world, her worst and best real estate deals, the importance of building strong professional relationships, and more.

This woman is an incredible force of nature, and we can’t wait for you to get to know her.

Are you ready?
