GUEST SUMMARY
In the lab we have Stephanie Walter, CEO of Erbe Wealth. She’s a capital raiser, syndicator, real estate investor, business owner, and financial educator who recently retired and sold her insurance agency of 16 years. Stephanie is able to share with Experiment Nation a unique perspective having worked in the corporate world, been a business owner and having real estate syndication replace her business and corporate income by achieving better cash flow through real estate syndication. Stephanie shares key principles that she teaches other professionals to use, how she pushed back against frustration from her early career by starting her own agency, and the path that led her from owning single family properties to real estate syndication.
Stephanie worked as an insurance claims adjuster straight out of college and was frustrated after a two percent raise for eight years' work. Shortly after a conversation with her Father about it, She gave her two weeks notice and then started her own insurance agency. Sixteen years later, she sold her agency and got into real estate as part of her retirement plan. She learned about syndication after attending a boot camp and since then never looked back. Since retiring and selling her agency in 2021, Stephanie and her partners have closed their 11th syndication and have committed to educating other professionals on how to protect, grow, and preserve their wealth.
If you’re looking to scale from single family homes to syndication as a business owner and/or while still being an employee then this episode is definitely for you.
