Two words that come to mind for our interview with Rita Medeiros is MASSIVE and PASSIVE. After being a Psychiatric Registered Nurse for many years, she became incredibly frustrated when she learned how much her retirement income would be. So Rita decided to take her destiny in her own hands and took massive action to buy 21 out of state rental properties in 11 months. We cover so much with Rita on today’s show, including: how to REALLY invest (and rehab) properties out of state, how to build a remote team long distance, the power of perseverance and networking, and why worrying is useless.

Welcome back to another MINIsode of the Real Estate InvestHER Show. These MINISODE episodes will be 10 minutes or less and be a real life story from Liz or Andresa!

Today’s minisode lessons include: When faced with a tough challenge, remember to go inside and connect with your values.
