Shownotes

$580,000 in real estate assets. Two properties, a third underway - all while working full-time as a Director of Data Engineering and raising two kids solo.

In this episode, Pratiksha breaks down exactly how she got there, starting with her very first deal: purchase price, rehab, closing costs, and the $96K in equity it left her with (real value built in, not cash in hand yet). Plus the mindset shift that had to happen before any of it.

If you've ever told yourself "not right now" because of your job, your kids, or your bandwidth - this one's for you.
