In this advisory monologue, Andresa Guidelli addresses women in the investor community, urging them not to overlook the valuable skills and experiences they have accumulated in their professional and personal lives when entering real estate investing. She highlights that abilities such as project management, analytical number work, and other transferable competencies can be directly applied to both active and passive real‑estate investments. While acknowledging that newcomers may lack specific market or asset‑class knowledge, Guidelli advises that these gaps can be mitigated by consciously leveraging existing expertise. She emphasizes aligning investment decisions with one’s current life season and family priorities, reinforcing that a holistic view of one’s background can lead to better, more confident investment choices.

I've seen over the many years that we've been working with women in the investor community, we see it all the time that women dismiss the experience they have in their other professional world, in their personal life, that it could be applicable to real estate investing, whether it's on the active side or the passive side. So don't dismiss all the experience you bring to the table in general, because that matters. Whether it's project management, whether it's analytical analysis of, of numbers, whatever it might be, don't dismiss that. So many women when they are becoming an investor and growing their investments, sometimes miss the fact that they have all this experience that they actually can tap into as they're buying their next investment. Again, whether it's actively or passively. So while there might be a gap of, say, market or asset class or, you know, the, the actual investment itself, you can mitigate that. But don't forget that you do have other experience you can tap into to ensure that you are, you know, making the right decisions for, again, your life, your season, and what's going to matter to you and your family.
