Rockstar Tip: The best tenant isn’t always the biggest name. It’s the operator with the strongest foundation.

It's the little things.
I'm walking the Camino de Santiago in Spai
I've never walked /hiked these distances before.
One thing I've noticed is after a few miles, the laces on my shoes get loose. It happens gradually. I don't even notice it . I am focused on other things. Then I stop for a rest and tighten them up! And wow! What a difference my progress makes for the next few miles.
This reminds me of .....
Wait for it!
Prospecting! 😎😎🤷♀️ (yes I guess even in Spain I think of canvassing!)
We are moving along on our journey and we don't prospect as much as we used to. And we don't even notice it. We are focused on other things.
But one day when we notice our pipeline is starting to dry up, we lean in and make a few more calls than we've done in past weeks.
We tighten up!
And WOW! We feel so much better!
So,
Tighten up those laces today and do some prospecting !
Which deal do you remember most, the big win or the one that drained your energy?
On this episode of Women Investor Wednesday, Melissa Korda shared why some of the hardest deals stay with you longer than the profitable ones.
One of her early flips broke even financially, but the time, stress, and emotional energy behind it made it one of the most memorable projects she’s done.
Melissa also talked about investing in single-family homes around the Seattle airport area, where rental demand stayed strong and many properties needed upgrades.
Every investor has a deal that teaches them more than the profitable ones ever could.

What happens when experienced investors start sharing the lessons they wish they learned sooner?
At the 6th Annual Women’s Real Estate Investment Summit, speakers shared honest conversations about fear, risk, problem-solving, and what it actually takes to get started in real estate investing.
A common theme throughout the event was that too many people delay taking action because they think every issue is a deal breaker. The investors and operators on stage talked about learning to evaluate problems, understand the numbers, and move forward with confidence.
The room was filled with women learning from real stories, real mistakes, and real business experience from people actively investing, lending, and developing today.
That is why this summit continues to grow year after year. Women want practical conversations they can apply directly to their business and investments.
Mentees,
When you ask how can I be a better mentee for my mentor, read this!
I embarked on my journey - 500 mile walk/hike almost 30 days ago.
Here's one of the notes my mentee gave me - one of them! This one was marked "Open on your flight!"
The other two:
Open halfway. (Almost there)
3rd one- Open when you reach your destination-
The thoughtfulness that went into this display of affection, appreciation and respect is remarkable!!
I've mentored MANY!
None have displayed such understanding of the position -
AND, this young woman is ONLY 22!
How much do you think I will do for her ?
How far do you think I will go for her?
Mentorship is a 2 way relationship - too many times I have seen and felt it be 1 way....
This Rockstar gets it!
PS, I've really only just met this woman - less than 6 mos ago!
Most vacancies are invisible.
I recently signed a lease with J.Crew in a former CVS space. The first thing I told my client was simple. Get a “Coming Soon” sign up immediately.
Good tenants attract more tenants.
If retailers see J.Crew coming to the center, I want them calling before the next vacancy even becomes available.
I’ve used billboards to advertise shopping center vacancies. I’ve added oversized banners to elbow spaces that no one notices. I’ve changed leasing signs so people know office space is available upstairs.
One vacant restaurant space had almost no visibility from the road. We added a large banner to the end cap. The phone started ringing right away.
If people don’t know the space is available, they can’t lease it.
Drive your property like a customer. Ask yourself one question.
Would I even know there’s space here?
