The Real Estate Investing Experience – Real estate investments generally fall somewhere along a spectrum of risk and effort. The fix-and-flip method takes on a high level of risk and requires a lot of effort to buy, renovate, and flip, while the buy-and-hold strategy is a pretty safe bet that requires little effort, buying properties and renting them out long-term. But why not do both?

Today’s guest is Leka Devatha, who started out as a single-family investor doing fix-and-flips with her company Rehabit Homes, and she has since spearheaded hundreds of transactions, including land subdivisions, multi-family investing, and residential real estate. Leka co-hosts the Real Estate At Work monthly meetup and is the co-author of The Only Woman in the Room: Knowledge and Inspiration from 20 Women Real Estate Investors.
