Despite the hurdles, she took it upon herself to learn the ropes, demonstrating the power of a self-starter attitude.

Her actions led to a profitable sale that exceeded some people's annual income at the time. Dwan's journey didn't stop there, as she continued to grow her real estate empire, refining her strategy and building a team of experts. Tune in to this episode to get a glimpse of Dwan's impressive journey and achievements in real estate investing.

Episode Highlights:

05:26 - I sold the house. I made $22,000. And I was like, "Oh, my gosh, I have $22,000. I am rich." To me, I was rich. I'm looking at my bank statements. I have $22,000. People didn't even make that in a year. Thirty-four years ago, that was a year's salary for people. And I was like, "Oh, I have $22,000. Oh, my God, I'm so rich. I'm going to do it again." And I did another house and would move in. I would fix them up, bring the daughter with me, sell it, move, fix it, sell it. And I did that until she started kindergarten. And by then, I had money, and I understood what fixing up was. Rehabbing. I learned a lot in those first couple of years, but by then, I had enough money and I could have a crew here and have a crew there and work on a house here. And then I just started killing it with real estate.
