Facing Death Made Me Reevaluate Life.

In 2021, my husband and I moved to Atlanta to be closer to family and friends and help my dad recover from heart surgery. As you can imagine, when you move to a new place, you have to get all new everything, hair stylists, dentists, doctors, everything. Shortly after moving to Atlanta, I got super sick. I was so sick that I rushed myself to the hospital in the middle of the pandemic only to learn how bad a shape I was in. I had a gut infection and could have died from it if not treated. I will never forget laying on my bedroom floor asking God if 38 was the age I was going to live to, if 38 is it, it’s when I die. And I meant it. I seriously thought I was dying. I could feel how sick my body was. I recovered from the gut infection and unfortunately, got it a second time, a month later, on my birthday. Funny to be sick with a gut infection on your birthday and think this might be your last day, again. I fought my way back to health for months and finally got to a healthy place, where I wasn't worried about my health, my life, on a daily basis.


After this experience, the world looks different. Nothing looked the same. Nothing! My mission to help people invest in real estate was reignited. Passive income is something we talk a lot about in the real estate investing world. However, until you’ve been in a situation where you couldn’t work for months because you were literally dying or when your parents were constantly pulled away from work for FIVE years while you were sick as a kid from a chronic neurological disease (happened to me to), and in a hospital in a different city, it only means a little extra cash or a bump to your retirement account. After you’ve experienced something like this, this passive income is a lifeline, it’s a little bit of a deep breath in a time in your life where you couldn’t take a deep breath anywhere else.
