“Managing a 10-unit building is very similar to managing 100-unit buildings.”

Emma transitioned from commercial and wedding photography to real estate investing, drawn by the industry's opportunities and path to financial freedom. She began by investing in duplexes and triplexes, before moving on to raising capital for larger 100-unit apartment buildings.

According to Emma, networking and collaborating with experienced professionals proved to be a key factor in her success.

“You should not get into the landlording business if you're only in it for the money. It should be because you love buildings, and the people who live and work in them, and you find construction, development, and all those things fascinating.”

Emma highlights that capital raising is a multi-step process, requiring patience and perseverance due to its time-consuming nature.

Emma shares how she achieved financial freedom. She balanced smaller, cash-flowing properties she owned directly with involvement in larger commercial deals. Once rental income matched their day job income, Emma and her husband quit their jobs, and eventually reached true financial freedom through the power of compounding.

“There's never a time when you don't wish you hadn’t started sooner.”

Toward the end of the conversation, Emma shares what she’s most excited about currently. She anticipates a demographic shift that will impact real estate investing. While acknowledging the challenge this presents, she’s also excited about the new opportunities it will create.

Finally, Emma shares one point of clarity with the listeners - The sooner you start, the sooner you will say you wish you'd started sooner.
