Summary

Episode 93 is about how to prepare financially for a career pivot, and how to build wealth through real estate investing.


Gianni LaTange is an Afro Latinx first generation wealth builder, born and raised in NYC. Gianni is on a journey of financial freedom and is passionate about sharing wealth-building strategies with POC. In February 2019, she made a promise to herself that she would be financially prepared to start her investment property search Winter 2020. Little did she know that she would become a whole building owner in March 2020!


Now GIanni is teaching financial foundation and real estate financing strategies she used to secure her first multi-unit, mixed use, income-earning property for only $20,000 of her own money by the age of 25. Becoming a real estate investor gave Gianni the financial security she needed to opt-out of her career as an elementary school teacher and become a software engineer.


You can follow Gianni on Instagram and YouTube.
