About Erin:

Erin served in the US Army for 14 years and loved every minute of it. She excelled as an Engineer officer, shattering glass ceilings and paving the way for women who came after her. When she was put on orders to deploy the same month as her husband shortly after having their first daughter, she knew the Army was no longer going to work for her. She resigned overnight, leaving the Army without a plan. Erin wanted to be successful, and show her daughters the value of hard work and creating something to be proud of, but did not want to be tied to a 9-5 job and be told where to be and when to be there. So, she embarked on a quest to figure out exactly what that looked like. Navigating the terrifying yet incredibly fulfilling journey to buying her first rental property led to the realization that she loved chasing the deal, negotiating, and building a solid future for her family. She, along with her husband, purchased 19 doors in the first year and a half, and her business earned six figures during the first full year of operation. Erin’s portfolio now includes 38 doors and is valued at almost $3 Million. But, she’s just getting started!

Erin loves to help people achieve financial freedom through Real Estate Investing and is passionate about coaching, training and mentoring people to be successful. Her business was created to build a future for her family and leave a legacy, but it quickly morphed into a passion to teach others to do the same.
