Transformation is real — and repeatable.

“One of my biggest takeaways was realizing the importance of investing in real estate for my future financial growth… I’m inspired to take action.”

Inspiration is great. Action is better. This summit is where both collide.

My first week in CRE, I was told it would take 6 months to get my own listing.

I made it my goal to do it in 90 days.

While others took Saturdays off, I went into the office. The boss was always there. So were other executives. I worked on my CRM, handled paperwork, and volunteered to help with the company picnic, even though it wasn’t “my job.”

92 days after getting hired, I got my first listing.

Success is often about proximity and visibility. It’s not just who you know, it’s who knows you.

What if one real estate purchase could help fund your next acquisition?

On this episode of Women Investor Wednesday, Kim Lochridge explained how investors are using depreciation strategies tied to gas stations and car washes to reduce taxable income and create more capital for future investments.

She shared how some investors prioritize the tax benefits and long-term reinvestment strategy just as much as the property itself. The goal is not to sit on the savings. The goal is to redeploy that capital into more real estate.

How Kim approaches tax strategy through real estate:

• Accelerated depreciation can create significant tax savings
• Tax savings can become capital for future acquisitions
• Reinvesting the money is what drives long-term portfolio growth
• Certain asset classes offer unique tax advantages for investors
• Strategic planning matters just as much as finding the deal itself

The investors who scale the fastest usually understand how to combine acquisitions, tax strategy, and reinvestment.

Growing up around real estate didn't make Katie want to work in real estate.

It had the opposite effect.

At the 6th Annual Women's Real Estate Investment Summit, Katie shared how her family was impacted during the Texas savings and loan crisis. Her parents built careers connected to the real estate industry, and she witnessed firsthand how quickly things could change during a downturn.

As a child, she didn't understand the economics behind it.

She just saw the results.

Assets disappeared. Financial stress became real. Questions about money started at an early age.

What stayed with her was a curiosity about why some people built wealth while others struggled to keep it.

That curiosity eventually led her to study money, business, and investing more closely.

One thing I appreciated about Katie's story is that she didn't grow up thinking real estate was the obvious path. In fact, she originally wanted to avoid it altogether.

Sometimes the experiences that push us away from an industry are the same experiences that teach us the most valuable lessons about it.

Understanding risk, understanding money, and understanding how businesses survive difficult markets are lessons that stay with you for a lifetime.

Why don’t I post rental rates online?

Because retail rent isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s not even close.

Here’s what I’ve seen in just one center:

➝ The bike shop pays less than the pizza shop
➝ The jewelry store pays more than the karate studio
➝ End caps command more than inline elbow space
➝ A 1,200 SF space rents for more per square foot than a 5,000 SF space
➝ Zero visibility equals lower rent. Fabulous visibility? You’ll pay for it
➝ Plenty of parking adds value. Limited parking drags it down
➝ And yes, the lease I sign next week will cost more than the one I signed last week

Retail rent is about timing, location, leverage, use, visibility, demand, and the value the tenant brings to the center.

So when someone asks, “What’s the rate?”

My answer is always: “It depends.”

That’s the truth. And that’s why I don’t post rent numbers on listing platforms.

What do you do when you buy a shopping center and face restrictions?

My advice: never assume you’re stuck with them. Whether it’s a lease clause or a restrictive easement (REA), there’s often room to negotiate.

I’ve been in situations where the odds seemed against me, like when I bought a two-acre outparcel in a grocery-anchored center that had a “no pharmacy” clause across multiple leases.

Walgreens was interested, so I pushed forward, despite the odds. It took some creative deal-making, but I made it happen.

So, before accepting a restriction as set in stone, give it your best shot. You might just surprise yourself.

Found a use I really wanted and kept pursuing it even after two canceled meetings.

I visited the location anyway, stayed in touch, and continued following up with valuable information. Today, they toured the space with new partners and plans to expand nationally.

Most deals don’t happen immediately. They happen because you stay consistent, provide value, and don’t give up too early.

1. Identify the use
2. Reach out
3. Visit them
4. Follow up with value
5. Stay persistent

Make it happen.
