“I love helping people reach their goals, I also love teaching people about what they can do with their lives, with their money, with their passions. Real estate is one way to do that. It’s one way to fund many different things and it can open up a lot of doors for people. So, my favourite part is meeting people, finding out what makes them tick and helping them take that even one step further.” – Natasha Phipps

Show Notes
[02:08] Patrick introduces his next guest from the REIN Member Series, Natasha Phipps.
[03:27] Natasha and Patrick get goin’! Natasha shares what she does and what lights her up.
[04:49] Providing a bit of context and background, Natasha talks about how she got started 20 years ago with her first real estate purchase, and with enthusiasm for what she was creating, remained motivated to not only stay in the game but elevate it.
[08:07] Natasha credits her entrepreneurial passion to her parents who had her working in their family new construction business at the age of 12. By 16 she had her first big sales deal! As an adult she started her career in the Calgary oil & gas industry, but when she realized that environment was not a fit for her, she embarked on a path to create a business on her own terms.
[10:57] Through the ups and downs of her learning cycle, Natasha began to home in on where she found the most satisfaction as a realtor. The space she felt had the most positive impact for her clients (which also happened to be her passion) was in investment properties.
[12:53] Respecting the roller coaster reality of being a realtor, Natasha talks about the fears and hesitancy she felt in pursuing this career. She felt compelled however to push through that fear with the inspiration from parents fueling her, to pursue the business she loves.
[15:27] Natasha and Patrick discuss experiences for women working in traditionally male dominated industries. Natasha touches on where she came from with this to where she is now.
[18:53] With a shared interest in real estate, Natasha and her husband Rodney enjoyed a connection from the start. When they decided to start a family, their real estate portfolio provided the support they needed for Rodney to pursue his passion in music which led to a whole new career that is thriving today.
[20:57] Natasha shares how she and Rodney acquired their real estate portfolio, but more importantly the critical ways in which it supported their careers, their family life, and their health.
[23:33] Patrick highlights a couple of pivotal pieces for real estate investors to understand:

Natasha & Rodney were not living off the eight properties they held, rather the properties allowed them the capacity and breathing room to build a business and take care of their health and family.
An investor-focused realtor like Natasha who is also in the trenches as a real estate investor and understands the needs and nuances of buying investment properties is a great asset to your business. Natasha’s passion stems from her experience of how impactful investment real estate can be.


[26:28] Through the adversity of health problems, building a new business with her husband and financial strains, Natasha attributes her strong mindset to help her stay focused on her dreams and desires for her life.
