Key Takeaways:

"That's why I advocate for mentorship because once you start immersing yourself in a new community, in a new group, a few things happen, and you change your reality." - Donalta Hall

"I want people to know that they can do it. But don't do it on your own. Everything is harder when you're doing it by yourself." - Donalta Hall

"You can't do everything yourself. One of the things I do is invest in multiple markets, and I have teams in each market." - Donalta Hall

"If you want to get started and don't have a lot of capital and resources, there are still affordable markets. I'm a believer in small multi-units if you can. One thing that makes a difference for me is that we have a secondary suite in our primary residence, and we rent that on Airbnb. That's one thing you can do to become financially free." - Donalta Hall

“Going into a recession, it's always a good idea as a lot of my mentors have taught me that the popular idea is to go into buy and hold for a few reasons. As people can't afford their homes. As an investor, you got to pick that up at a lower price.” - Donalta Hall

“Large multifamily tends to do really well in a recession. But that still holds true for single family homes, if you buy it at a good price, and are able to rent it out.” - Donalta Hall
