If you’re stepping into 2026 determined to improve your cash flow, protect your rentals, and scale smarter, this episode is for you.

We’re kicking off the year by talking about the real opportunities available for landlords in 2026 — and the roadblocks that keep so many people stuck. Before you make another move, you need clarity on what’s holding your portfolio back and how to break through it this year.

Inside this episode, I’m sharing three simple but powerful ways to cut your expenses as a landlord — strategies most investors overlook, even though they can save hundreds (and sometimes thousands) each year:

• How smart thermostats and routine HVAC servicing prevent expensive repairs

• Why an annual insurance review is non-negotiable — and how raising your deductible can reduce premiums

• How disciplined landlords can manage property taxes through a high-yield savings account • why hiring a real-estate-friendly CPA is one of the most profitable decisions you can make in 2026

These changes aren’t flashy — but they are transformative. This is how you protect your cash flow, strengthen your rentals, and scale with confidence this year.

2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Black and Brown investors — but not for the reasons you might think.

If you’ve ever looked at someone’s success and assumed they’re gliding through life with confidence and clarity… this episode will free you.

In Episode 3 of the Reinvention Series, Erika pulls back the curtain on what success actually looks like behind the scenes — the stretch, the doubt, the quiet fear, and the faith it takes to keep going when life feels heavy.

She shares the real story of the season that almost broke her while building her first conference, how she trusted God through uncertainty, and why the messy middle is where your identity shifts the most.

You’ll walk away knowing you’re not falling apart — you’re being stretched into the woman you’re becoming.

This episode covers: • what the “messy middle” looks and feels like • why fear doesn’t disappear when you become successful • how to reframe your thoughts through answered prayers • why stretching is necessary for elevation • the lie about success that keeps most women stuck • how to keep moving even when things feel uncertain • an invitation into the OILI Mastermind for women ready to live life on their own terms

If you’re tired of doing life alone and want more breathing room, options, and clarity — this is your episode.

This episode kicks off our year-end real estate series with a clear and honest breakdown of what actually happened in 2025 — for both buyers and landlords.

I’m walking you through the major trends that shaped this year:

Why buyers finally gained negotiating power

How increased inventory changed the tone of the market

What longer days on market really meant

And why rent growth stalled — or even dropped — in major cities around the country

You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, the surprising data behind the rent freeze, and the real-life lessons I learned inside my own multifamily portfolio this year.

If you want to walk into 2026 feeling clear and confident about your next move, this is the episode to start with.
