Jamisa McIvor has 20 debt-free properties through her company named after her grandmother, Rosebud. Jamisa launched Rosebud’s Investments after her grandmother’s death and helps investors looking to enhance their knowledge and expertise in real estate investing. 

Despite her grandmother having older kids (including Jamisa’s father), she chose Jamisa to take over the property when she passed. That’s when things got interesting and Jamisa had to balance the pressures of family, while still learning about real estate and investing. In this episode, we cover how she set up her arrangement with her grandmother, why estate planning is crucial and how she turned one house into a 20 unit portfolio.
