She’s a mother of 6, grandmother of 19, and says her claim to fame isn’t just all the green smoothies she’s made, but a real estate empire that helps pay for it all. She started investing seven years ago and says: “If a stay-at-home mom of six can do it -- so can you!”
Kim Bosler says she always had a passion for real estate but lacked the confidence to do it on her own. She finally got going by networking with other real estate investors who were doing what she wanted to do. And now her adult children are following suit. They are all investing in real estate.

TRANSCRIPT
Rich Fettke: [00:00:00] You're listening to The Real Wealth Show with Kathy Fettke, the real estate investor's resource.
[music]
Kathy Fettke: If you've been listening to me for a while, and I've been doing this a long time, you know I've interviewed some really interesting people. You might be surprised to hear me say that today is one of my all-time favorite interviews. I'm Kathy Fettke and welcome to The Real Wealth Show. Our guest today prides herself on making more green smoothies than she can even count because she has 6 kids, and 19 grandkids.
She's going to share today how she's built a real estate empire, made lots of mistakes, but made even better choices over the years, and is going to share how she's done that, how she's financially free, and how she's now getting her kids investing in real estate, and wouldn't change a thing. Kim, welcome to The Real Wealth Show. I'm so excited to have you here.
Kim Bosler: It's so great to see you, Kathy. I just love, really, honestly, it's because of Real Wealth Network that's given me so much. It's all because of you that I got involved in real estate, and I really can't thank you enough.
Kathy: Thank you. It hasn't been all rosy, has it? You started investing with us, seven, eight years ago, something like that.
Kim: Seven years ago.
Kathy: It was kind of the Wild Wild West back then. There were a lot of foreclosures, the property management systems weren't really in place and we've learned a lot since then, but oh, boy. You've had ups and downs. I received a lot of emails of you being frustrated, but here you sit, in 2021 ahead, right? Tell me a little bit about that.
Kim: Right. I just want to thank you for your just patience and perseverance with me, too, because we were-- I think in some ways we were learning together. [00:02:00] There was some things you just can't predict in real estate but all in all, it was just a phenomenal, it has been a phenomenal experience. It started seven years ago, really. Actually, was about 10 and I was on the plane and a friend of mine, her husband had just passed, and she had nine children, very large family. She said, "The greatest gift that Gordon gave me was, he owns five properties outright, and that allows me to go see my grandkids." She was just saying what a gift that was.
I thought about that for a long time and I thought, I came home that day and I really believe in vision boards. I thought, "That's exactly what I want to create too, somehow." Her husband was also professional, but you don't have the built-in pension. You don't know how long you're going to live. There's just so many variables. I already knew that having a hard asset was something that couldn't be stolen, and it could only grow in equity. I put down on my vision board, "I would like to own six homes." [laughs]
She had five, so I thought maybe six would be good and I actu
