What happens when you leave your career to pursue real estate investing? Once dead set on becoming a country music star, today’s guest was forced to rethink her future when the world came to a screeching halt. Thankfully, real estate was the exact pivot her young family needed, allowing her to make a huge profit on her very first real estate deal!

Welcome back to the “Real Estate Rookie” podcast! For three years, Tori Tyler had wanted to jump into real estate, but like many newbies, information overload and analysis paralysis kept her on the sidelines. But eventually, with the guidance of a mentor and by attending networking events, she gained the confidence to take down her first deal—a house flip that pocketed her $36,000 with just three months of work!

Now, Tori is completing her second flip, and in the future, she plans to use short-term rentals to offset her family’s W-2 income and give them another place to vacation. If you want to know how to pivot from your current career and become a full-time investor, Tori’s story of bold pivots and bigger payoffs might just be the spark of inspiration you need!
