AREI 8: Recognizing Your Waypoints to Define Your Why with Josi Heron
The wealth that comes from Real Estate Investing is not only a great tool to build monetary stability, but also a resource we can use to do bigger things and make a greater impact in our communities. On The Adventures of a Real Estate Investor, we talk with Josi Heron about freedom with real estate investing and what you can do with that freedom to impact others.
Josi Heron left her corporate job to pursue Multifamily investing and has built Waypoints Equity to empower other investors to join her journey. She has a background in engineering, finance, leadership, and asset management, and is a drilling reservist. Josi has found that impact is made between the waypoints of our lives, and she enjoys helping others invest and growing her business while giving back to veteran and community organizations.

Tweetable Quotes:
“I think so often, we're all just focused on this great little nest egg in the future when you're retired. We need to live and we need to be present. And if we can't find that balance, and that purpose now, then I feel like there's something lacking.” - Josi Heron
“Look internally first. Set some basic goals of where you want to go. figure out what your WHY is. Figure out what it’s going to take to get you to your goals.” - Josi Heron
