This episode is extra special because it’s a FEATURE episode where I was a guest on the Goal Digger podcast, hosted by the amazing Jenna Kutcher. It was a phenomenal conversation, and I knew I had to share it with you! We dove deep into the big question: Is it really possible to work less and earn more?
As a former bank manager and busy mom, I felt stuck in the corporate grind, craving more time with my family. That’s when I discovered real estate investing—and I haven’t looked back since. I shared how I started small, investing just $3,000 in my first rental property, and grew it into a multi-million dollar portfolio.
Join us as we uncover the mindset shifts needed to embrace passive income, the importance of valuing your time, and why building a supportive community is a game-changer in your real estate journey.
KEY POINTS:
- On the nuances of having a passive income
- How Erika's exposure to entrepreneurs encouraged her in real estate
- Erika's initial real estate investment journey through self-education
- The importance of overcoming fear and intimidation in real estate investing

- Strategies for balancing business, real estate, and family
- The transformative impact of a $37 entrepreneurial class on Erika's business growth
- Erika's vision: Create a hub for women and minorities in real estate & personal finance
QUOTES:
“Instead of looking at that long list of 10 things that I have to do, how can you focus on the one thing that can drive the most impact?"
“You need to focus on the $1,000-an-hour task versus spending your time doing a $10-an-hour task – that was a game changer for me."

In this episode, I walk you through the entire lifecycle of a real estate investment, breaking down each crucial phase so you can make smarter decisions along the way. We start with acquisition, the hands-on stage where you set your goals, find the right property, and build a reliable team to support you. Next, we tackle the often-overlooked stabilization phase, where the key to long-term success lies in setting up tenants, streamlining operations, and transitioning your investment to a more passive state. Lastly, we dive into the exit strategy, explaining how I assess my property portfolio each year to decide whether to hold or sell properties based on performance and market conditions.
Whether you’re a first-time investor or looking to grow your portfolio, this episode is packed with practical tips to guide your investment decisions and maximize returns.
KEY POINTS:
- Phase 1: Acquisition - Determine your market, have a rental strategy, and create your team
- Phase 2: Stabilization - Choose tenants, set up property management, and create systems for business
- Phase 3: Exit Strategy - Factors to consider: increased expenses, difficulty finding tenants, and low cash flow
QUOTES:
“Don't just go out there and start buying property. You need to have a strategy — some goals that you are working towards.” – Erika Brown
“One indication that you truly have stabilized your property is that you don't have to be actively involved on a day-to-day basis. That is an example that things are stable.” – Erika Brown
