The $1M Real Estate Lesson Yolanda Wants Every Investor to Know
In this week’s episode, we sit down with Yolanda, a Venezuelan-born entrepreneur who always loved real estate but didn’t see herself as a “real estate investor.”
For over a decade, she held a few cash-bought properties that helped her family, but she never knew how to grow her portfolio. That changed when she joined the Open Spaces community, learned how to leverage equity, and surrounded herself with accountability partners who pushed her to think bigger.
Today, Yolanda has crossed the $1M portfolio mark, learned how to scale using commercial financing, and even teamed up with another member for her first JV flip; all while breaking free from cultural money beliefs that kept her playing small.
In this episode, you’ll hear how she went from “stuck” to scaling a $1M+ portfolio, the mindset shift from buying in cash to leveraging for growth, and how community and accountability partners fast-tracked her deals.
If you’ve ever felt like you were “just” holding a few properties without a clear plan to scale, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you get the right strategies, support, and mindset.
