About Me
Hello, my name is Nicole. Ever since I was little and my parents bought an apartment complex, I have been interested in making money from real estate. As an adult, I became an interior designer, and I also dabbled in the world of real estate sales. When I met my fiance, a contractor, we decided to buy a foreclosed property, fix it up and sell it. Ultimately, we couldn't sell it so I decorated it and rent it out. Through the years, we have done many similar projects, and I have learned a lot about that process. If you are thinking about investing in real estate, I invite you to learn from my mistakes and successes. Please explore my blog – I hope you enjoy my posts!
