  • I Almost Didn't Buy My First Rental Property - Thank Goodness I Ignored This Advice
    Jul 1 2025

    ---> Schedule your FREE strategy call HERE

    Every newbie real estate investor needs to hear this story. In this episode, Melissa reveals the conversation that almost derailed her investing career before it started - when her closest friends dismissed her first rental property as worthless because it only cash flowed $250 per month.

    Here's why this episode is essential listening for beginners:

    Melissa breaks down exactly how that "tiny" $60,000 property (with just $12,000 down) became the foundation of a multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio. You'll discover the "hidden wealth machine" that most people completely miss when evaluating rental properties - it's not just about monthly cash flow.

    What you'll learn:

    • Why starting small beats waiting for the "perfect" big deal every time
    • The 5 wealth-building factors working behind the scenes (hint: cash flow is just the tip of the iceberg)
    • How her $250/month property now generates $600/month after 10 years
    • The exact strategy she used to turn one property into multiple properties using equity
    • Why "investing with training wheels" is the smartest approach for busy professionals
    • The biggest mistake new investors make (and how to avoid it)


    Perfect for: anyone who wants to build wealth through real estate without it becoming a second job.

    If you've ever thought a property "doesn't cash flow enough" or wondered if you should wait until you can afford an apartment complex, this episode will completely shift your perspective on real estate investing. Melissa proves that the power of one property can change everything - even if your friends think it's a waste of time.

  • Stop Losing Money on BRRRR Deals: The 'BRRRR-Key' Method That Cuts Your Risk in Half
    Jun 24 2025

    Ready to explore BRRR-Key opportunities? For direct access to Melissa's vetted teams in Memphis and other markets, contact me HERE

    ——-

    What if you could get all the benefits of a BRRR deal without the headaches, risks, and endless evenings managing contractors?

    Real estate investor and turnkey expert Melissa reveals her game-changing "BRRR-Key" strategy—a hybrid approach that combines the equity-building power of BRRR with the simplicity of turnkey investing. After losing money on traditional BRRR deals due to contractor issues and cost overruns, she developed this system to help investors build wealth faster with less risk.

    In This Episode, You'll Discover:

    • How Melissa bought a $172K property for just $15K out of pocket (instead of $40K)
    • The "Guinea pig" deal that started it all—complete breakdown included
    • Why traditional BRRR deals feel like a second job (and how to avoid that)
    • The hard money lender hack that makes this strategy possible
    • Step-by-step walkthrough of the entire 45-day process
    • How to refinance immediately (without waiting 6 months)
    • Real numbers: $150K purchase + renovation = $25K instant equity


    Perfect for: Investors tired of managing rehabs, those with limited capital who want to scale faster, and anyone who's been burned by traditional BRRR deals.

    Melissa has helped over 100 clients use this strategy to stretch their investment dollars further. Instead of buying one property, you can now buy "one and a half" properties for the same money—turning your next deal's down payment into this deal's equity bonus.

    Thinking about buying a rental in another state but not sure what could go wrong?

    In this episode, Melissa shares a real client story about their first out-of-state deal—and the big question they asked: “What risks should I be looking out for?”

    Melissa breaks down:

    • Why neighborhood grade doesn’t guarantee good tenants (yes, even A-class has drama)
    • How property managers can make or break your investment
    • What “the sleep factor” is—and how to figure out your own risk tolerance
    • Why owning more properties can actually be less risky (seriously)


    She also shares a personal story about water damage, a bad PM, and how a $0 problem turned into a $$$ one because of poor communication.
