Success Stories - Beverly S.

Recently widowed and facing a layoff at work, Beverly had to do something. So, in 1998, she bought Carleton's course. "It was kind of a panic trip to know I was going to be out of a job and then to get into this [real estate investing]," she remembers, " … but, you know, it's paid all my bills for eight years!"

"I didn't go into this venture to get rich or to raise my net worth," she admits. "I just wanted to be able to support myself, and to go see my children (living in several states), grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren."

With nine properties (11 units), she is making a nice living and is able to supplement her Social Security benefits with an additional $1,800 a month positive cash flow from her properties. "I make some pretty good deals," Beverly reveals.

Although she is not "actively" seeking any more real estate at this point, she is always looking for a good deal. In the meantime, she loves to travel and has visited her children in Hawaii, Illinois, Georgia, and Florida. Beverly hopes her story will help to inspire other women—and especially other seniors—to invest in real estate.

"I didn't purchase my first [investment] house until I was 65 and a woman alone," she shares. "For other women out there that are older—or even for older couples—you can do it! And your age does not matter!"
