No Longer the Only Woman in the Room with Ashley Wilson The Real Estate InvestHER Show

    • Investing

As female investors, we often times find ourselves alone in a room of men. On today’s episode, we talk with Ashley Wilson, investor and now published author, on her new book, The Only Woman in the Room, in which she shares the stories of 20 female investors of how they found success and overcame challenges in their careers. Ashley left a real estate conference in 2018 triggered by the fact that women were so outnumbered by men not only in the room, but also on stage and she felt called to do something about it. She began to take mental notes over the next couple years of woman she met that truly inspired her and had a story to tell. Her goal was to share the authentic and raw experiences of female investors to create a long-lasting impact to elevate women out of the breakout rooms and onto the mains stage. Ashley Wilson, also known as “BadAsh Investor”, started investing in real estate in 2010, and is the Co-Founder of HouseItLook LLC and Bar Down Investments, LLC.  Previously, Ashley worked for Sanofi-Aventis, Wyeth (Pfizer), and GlaxoSmithKline where she achieved the role of Director of Global Project Management within the department Vaccine Clinical Research and Development.  During this period, she learned effective skills to manage from afar.  Ashley has since applied these skills to real estate.  Specifically, she co-founded HouseItLook, a house flipping company located in the suburbs of Philadelphia, with her father Tom while living in Europe. Ashley also co-founded Bar Down Investments with her husband Kyle, specializing in owning and operating large multifamily properties throughout the United States.  In addition to her two companies, she provides consulting services to other multifamily owners, coaches other real estate investors and speaks regularly at conferences across the country.  When Ashley is not working on her businesses, she enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband and their two daughters and competing with her horse, Wow!.  On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Ashley, including: The power of transferable knowledge Her inspiration behind the creation of her book Why it’s so important to share what inspires you with those you trust A sneak peak of the amazing stories complied in the book Books/Resources The Only Woman in the Room Rich Dad Poor Dad   Contact Information www.BadAshInvestor.com Instagram - @BadAshInvestor BiggerPockets Contributor   In The Only Woman in the Room, 20 incredible women share how they were able to achieve financial freedom in a world historically dominated by men.
