This Monday at Atlanta REIA, join Caroline Catts as she shares her incredible journey from overwhelmed single mom to successful real estate investor.
Unlike many investors, Caroline didn’t quit her job, inherit money, or have unlimited free time. She was working a demanding full-time career, consulting on the side, raising two children on her own, and somehow managed to build a portfolio of 10 rental properties.
In this presentation, Caroline will share:
- How she found time to invest despite working two jobs
- The strategies she used to acquire her first rental property
- How she financed and grew to 10 rentals
- Mistakes she made along the way
- Systems that helped her balance investing, work, and family
- Advice for busy professionals who want to build wealth through real estate

“You don’t need more time. You need a plan.” ~ Caroline Catts
