Having little money and poor credit doesn’t mean you can’t invest in real estate; it just means you’ll have to be creative. We are excited to sit down with Mercedes Torres, investor and businesswomen, to discuss how she escaped the rat race and completed over 2000+ real estate transactions. We cover so much with Mercedes like how to analyze trends and market conditions, how to create win-wins for both the buyer and the seller, and the biggest lesson she learned from one of her largest failures. Mercedes also shares with us her tried and true letter of intent for off market deals. In her very first two years in the world of Real Estate, Mercedes Torres flipped 24 properties.
