Women Invest in Real Estate Amelia McGee, Grace Gudenkauf

Hey friends, we are so excited to have you join us for what has become one of our favorite (and one of our most requested) topics on the podcast: creative financing! Today, however, we are going to dive deep into how you can find and negotiate creative finance deals in places you might not have even considered looking, so get ready to take some notes.

We are so excited to introduce you to this week’s podcast guest and our friend, Brittney Krznaric. Brittney has done more than 100 (yes, read that again, 100!) deals on the acquisitions side and owns 17 doors herself. Brittney started her journey doing acquisitions for Jenn and Joe Delle Fave on their Creative Finance team. Brittney and her husband own and operate their 17 doors together in the southeast Pittsburgh, PA, area.

One thing we talk about a lot of the podcast is scaling your real estate investing business, and how we scaled our own businesses. What we don’t talk about enough is how to keep yourself from scaling too quickly, and this episode is a deep dive into how to get organized from the start so that when you’re ready to scale, you aren’t working in and on your business, but instead are a prepared CEO running a streamlined and successful real estate investing portfolio.

Hey WIIRE friends, we hope you are as excited as we are because today is our first-ever in-person interview, with Kelsey Porter. Kelsey is a friend of Amelia’s, located in Des Moines (another IOWA girl!), and is a realtor who grew up around new construction and investment properties and spent time watching her stepdad invest in luxury homes. While not all of those are what she spends her time doing in her current zone of genius, she saw value in owning property from a young age and has truly stepped into her own in the world of real estate investing.

Curious how your property walk-throughs stack up against ours? Or are you maybe in the beginning stages of buying your first property and simply not sure exactly what you should be looking for in a property walk-through? Either way, this episode has you covered. Today we are breaking down exactly what you should be looking at and how it can help you in the long run.

Feel like you’re trying to balance it all? We get it, and so does today’s guest, Kristen Witalka. Kristen is a CEO and stay-at-home mom who loves to blend the two by letting her kids share involvement in their family business. As an out-of-state investor with 10 doors (most of which are MTR properties), Kristen recently began her investing journey in 2023.
