Featured Investor Interview

Stephanie Woodside

Stephanie began investing in real estate in 1998 and became a licensed Realtor in 2004. She has navigated multiple market cycles, including the challenges of Hurricane Katrina and flooded rental properties.

After taking a break from investing after Katrina Stephanie returned to the market in 2016, focusing on flipping properties before beginning to rebuild her rental portfolio in 2022. Today she holds approximately $2 million in residential real estate assets, remains an active Realtor, and serves as a Director of the New Orleans Real Estate Investors Association (NOREIA).

Stephanie’s journey includes successes, setbacks, and adaptation through different market cycles. Emile will sit down with her for an in-depth interview about:

• How she got started in real estate
• Lessons learned through difficult markets and disasters
• How she rebuilt and scaled her portfolio
• What strategies she is using in today’s market
