Creative Capital Podcast 102: Scaling Up to 36 Units in 6 Months with Alessandra Thompson

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome back to the Creative Capital Podcast with Josh Ferrari! In this episode, I welcome Alessandra Thompson! Alessandra Thompson is a 25-year-old real estate investor and large multifamily underwriter. From her experience in selling solar panels door-to-door to being a Senior Manager at a tech and marketing startup, she quickly realized that she needed to take control of her freedom. She recently closed on her FIRST deal - a 36 unit multifamily property in Little Rock, Arkansas. Her mission is to continue to scale her portfolio. She lives by the saying, “success lies on the other side of fear" and truly believes life begins when we step outside of our comfort zones.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Alessandra tells us her story of taking the leap of faith - getting away from her 9 to 5 job to pursue the real estate industry - with the aims of attaining financial  and time freedom. In her journey, she shared how she quickly scaled up, the ways to find the right mentors, and how she developed the mindset transition to prepare herself for success.
