Show Notes:

One of the best investments you can make is in the right mentors. A great mentor is going to help you avoid mistakes, fast track your growth, and connect you with others you can learn from and potentially partner with. The alternative is paying with your mistakes! In this episode, I’m excited to introduce you to Jenni Viken! Jenni and I talk about investing in short term rentals, and how she and her husband were scammed as they were newbies to the real estate investing game. Jenni shares the valuable lessons she’s learned from that experience of being scammed, her life lessons of being in a past abusive relationship, and the importance of having an education in finance and investing through the right mentors!
