This week on the She Buys It Podcast, Whitney sits down with Jennifer Peek. Jennifer started with apartments and is now working on 1031 Exchanges and a Delaware Investment Trust. Jennifer has been investing for 12 years. It all started with Jennifer and her husband looking at duplexes and single-family homes while they worked for corporate America. Their next-door neighbor who was a real estate attorney and had done a lot of development said, "What do you think about commercial properties?" This led them down a path into looking at apartment buildings. Their first apartment buildings were red brick boxes that were 100 years old and had 12 units in them. They bought the first one and closed on the second one 3 months later. Why did they decide to get into real estate? Jennifer and her husband decided that they needed to diversify their investments. They wanted to make it into an income stream for the future so they could retire comfortably. Their goal was to start this process while they still had their corporate jobs so if they messed it up that they would still have their paycheck to fall back on. Listen in to the rest of this week's edition of the She Buys It Podcast to hear Whitney and Jennifer talk about staying in real estate when it gets tough, the flexibility of real estate investing, getting into real estate with your partner, and 1031 Exchanges and Delaware Investment Trusts.
