Have you had one experience completely change your life?!? In this episode of Find Your Freedom, the Best Entrepreneur's Podcast, Melissa discusses her incredible journey from Jailhouse Social Worker to Real Estate Mogul.
Melissa had dedicated her life to becoming a social worker and it wasn't until her father was diagnosed with a disease that she realized her current profession wasn't providing her the freedom or resources she needed to properly care for him. This realization, and paradigm shift forced Melissa to look for alternative professions that would ensure she never ended up feeling like she couldn't provide sufficiently for her family again.
Through massive amounts of self-education and discipline Melissa learned about real estate investing and the world of opportunities it opened as an entrepreneur. While waiting for her clients in the LA County Detention Centers Melissa listened to endless Podcasts (like Bigger Pockets), read books and soaked up as much information as she could about real estate. Eventually when she felt she had enough knowledge she took the plunge and bought her first multi-family complex. Boom, she was hooked and saw the life-changing opportunities and freedom that becoming an real estate broker and investor provided. Social Worker to Entrepreneur and she hasn't looked back since, opening her own Real Estate firm and building a massive portfolio in Portland. Her Inspirational story of complete transformation is a true entrepreneur success story as she found her Freedom!
