38. The Importance of Quality Partnerships with InvestHer, Liz Faircloth
Liz Faircloth is the Co-Founder of The DeRosa Group, a developer of commercial and residential property with a mission to revitalize urban America. She is also the co-Founder of The Real Estate InvestHER community - a platform to empower women to live a financially free and balanced life on their own terms. She is co-Host of the The Real Estate InvestHer podcast and author of an Amazon Bestseller – “The Only Woman in the Room – Knowledge and Inspiration from 20 Successful Real Estate Women Investors!" In this episode, Liz discusses the importance of transparency from general partners when explaining who is involved in the management of a deal, why being comfortable with the sponsor is key to success and why she started a community for women investors.
Liz talks about analyzing your own success so you can let go of what isn’t working. She mentions that she started syndicating in NJ and Philadelphia but markets became overheated so she needed to find new markets. Initially she started investing in Lancaster, PA before moving on to markets in NC and KY.
Liz discusses the importance of understanding the focus and strengths of the sponsor and making sure that matches what they are actually doing. She talks about investing in C class neighborhoods and properties and the importance of knowing the market and targeting the assets that meet her investing thesis.
Liz talks about being a GP and the importance of the sponsor's transparency regarding who is involved in the deal. She stresses that if a sponsor is vague or evasive about their team then that can be a huge red flag. It should be clear who is on the team and what their role is.
Liz discusses the InvestHer Community and why she started a network for women investors. She also talks about how the Community works on building each other up and helping women grow confidence in their investing.
