AREI 69: The Inside Scoop of Building a Business with Karen Briscoe

In this episode Karen Briscoe shares her story and her thoughts on building a business and her strategies on real estate trends and multifamily investing. And how she was able to maneuver through financial storms. Come join us and listen in!

Memorable Quotes:
"Oftentimes you will reach a level in your business in life where you have to get on an airplane to see your friends. Because the people that are truly like-minded and the same vision, focus, they may not be in your immediate community or in your business or in your personal life." - Karen Briscoe
