Shownotes

She agreed to buy a $230,000 property she had never set foot in. Sent contractors to walk it in her place, ran the numbers from her kitchen table, and signed.

Six months later: a projected $115,000 to $165,000 in profit. Her first deal. Ever.

Shelly didn't grow up around money, or real estate. She grew up watching her mother give thirty years to the same company. When her mother died, the company's entire response was one flower arrangement.

Years later, Shelly gave that same company her own thirty years. Director of Business Development, a billion-dollar sales quota, and a body that started breaking down under the weight of it. Two spinal surgeries and a reorg later, the company made the decision she'd been avoiding.

Palak sits down with Shelly to break down the real numbers behind that first deal, exactly how she moved that fast with zero real estate experience, and why she wasn't going to let a company write the ending to her story too.
