Why Now is the Best Time to Invest in REITs | Ange Matthews

EPISODE 434: If real estate and the stock market had a baby, it would be REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). And it is high time for you to invest in that baby and diversify your portfolio through it! This is because as a real estate investor, you already have an advantage when it comes to investing in REITs. You know the market, you know the industry, and you have the experience and qualifications you need to profit off of an investment like this. To discuss all of this in more depth, we’ve invited an expert on the podcast, the brilliant Ange Matthews.  Ange is an investor, investment coach, and the founder of the Happy Investor Method™, where her goal is to make investing accessible and fun for all.  Through her step-by-step investing blueprint, Ange has helped thousands of individuals and businesses learn how to use the stock market to shift their wealth and change their lives. When Ange first started investing in the stock market, she was making $40,000 a year and had a six-figure debt. As a self-taught, first-generation investor, she went on to not only generate multiple six-figure incomes passively in the stock market, but also helped others do the same.  In 2016, she decided to found the Happy Investor Method to share her findings and help other powerful people experience powerful wealth. Now, with more than twelve years of investing experience to her name, her workshops, seminars, courses, and one-on-one coaching are helping people, especially women and people of color, put their money to work to change the world.
