EPISODE 529: Many women entrepreneurs justify not growing their real estate portfolio for lack of money, lack of funds, or lack of experience.

However, this week’s guest on The InvestHER Podcast, the brilliant Deba Douglas, was able to do just that without any prior real estate experience.

Deba is a real estate investor and former assistant principal. Prior to starting her real estate investing business, she served 16 years in education as a teacher, coach, bus driver, and principal. 

In 2018, Deba quit her education job to become a realtor. She founded Douglas Dwellings, a real estate investment firm based in Texas and has grown it to $3M in annual revenue with a portfolio of over 30 properties. 

In this episode, Deba will be discussing the importance of having knowledge over money, the lessons she learned from her very first deal, how she scaled her business using hard money lending, and so much more.
