On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Portia Louder, a former real estate investor who served five years in federal prison for mortgage fraud. Portia shares the gripping story of how she transitioned from a hardworking photographer and mom to being deeply involved in high-risk real estate deals that spiraled into illegal territory. She offers powerful insight into how easily these “gray area” deals can turn into life-altering legal troubles, and emphasizes the importance of integrity and doing business the right way. Her journey of redemption serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to turn things around.
