🎥 DESCRIPTION
Zasha Smith didn’t start out as a real estate investor—she was a civil engineer with a stable job. But after making $103K on her first deal, she knew she had to go all-in. In this episode, she shares how mentorship gave her the confidence to scale, build systems, and turn real estate into a thriving business. If you’re looking for inspiration (and some real talk on what it takes to grow), this one’s for you!
We also talk about:
• The mindset shift that changed everything for Zasha
• How she made $103K on her very first deal
• Why mentorship fast-tracked her success
• The systems she put in place to scale her business
• How social media helped her build a powerful network
• The biggest lessons from her transition into commercial real estate
• and SO much more!
