From climbing the career ladder to making investment magic.
Your first year as an investor is often the most challenging. We remember the scrapes and bumps along the road from that first year, but we look back on them fondly. After all, those obstacles are what helped shape us into the force that Black Swan is today.
We understand that real estate investing can feel like an uphill battle. Perhaps you’re in that first year right now, or maybe you’re a seasoned investor and you know exactly what that battle (and overcoming it) feels like. We call it the Transformative Real Estate Investor Journey.
The journey starts long before you’ve even considered real estate investing. So take it as a win, no matter where you’re at in your journey—know that being here, being a part of this community, is proof that you’re well on your way to real estate investing success.
The transformative investor journey looks something like this:
Jane spent years working hard in med school, residency, and as an attending physician to get where she is today, climbing that career ladder.
Turns out, working hard doesn’t pay off quite like Jane imagined it would; she’s doing well but she’s burning out. She imagines something better than the 9 to 5 life with little autonomy. She pictures lifestyle freedom.
When she’s not working, Jane takes action. She talks to like-minded people, reads blogs, and enrolls in an investing course. Then, she chooses a lane.
She decides that real estate investing is where it’s at, and she gains momentum.
She picks a real estate investment, and then another, and soon Jane has a budding portfolio to back up her efforts. She’s building a legacy and seeing extraordinary results.
She has cut back her work hours, but Jane doesn’t want to quit her day job entirely, she’s still fulfilled by her work as a physician. So next, she invests in a passive real estate investing opportunity, where she won’t have to do any hands-on work.
She is living a freedom-focused life, ripe with infinite possibilities.
Jane is now the transformative investor.
