In this episode, host Ginny explains how investing in commercial real estate is a lot like playing sports. Many people think real estate is too complicated, but Ginny simplifies it by comparing the roles in both fields. Just like players on a team, active investors, like general partners, focus on strategy, skills, and practice. Fans, or limited partners, support and invest at a less active level.

Success in real estate, like in sports, isn’t always about hitting home runs. It’s about perseverance, learning from wins and losses, and taking small steps toward bigger goals. Building a strong team is essential, and adaptability is key when challenges arise. Ginny emphasizes staying humble, saving wisely, and sharing both risks and rewards with others.

She also highlights the importance of location, mindset, and commitment, reminding us that investing should be both fun and rewarding. Whether you’re active or passive in the game, the focus is on staying consistent, building relationships, and enjoying the journey.
