There were contractor problems. There were taxes, citations, renovation stress, family disagreements, sleepless nights, and plenty of lessons.\nBut the property eventually rented.\nThe checks started coming.\nAnd instead of walking away, Ebony said, “I’m going to do it again.”\nThat first property became the catalyst for a real estate career that eventually led to more investments, leaving corporate America, earning her real estate license, building Guru Realtors, creating property management services, helping out-of-state investors, teaching a 90-day real estate investing workshop, writing a beginner real estate book, and investing internationally in the Dominican Republic.\nFeatured Guest\nEbony Bowden\nSTL Real Estate Guru\nBroker | Investor | Author | Developer\nFounder, Guru Realtors\nGuru Realtors: https://www.gururealtors.com/\nSTL Real Estate Guru: https://www.facebook.com/stlrealestateguru\nPhone: 314-795-5735 Ext. 2\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamQueenCarlisa\nSponsor\niHustle Media Group - Turn online attention into real leads, booked appointments, and...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6RVt-BKuHUDpqnW2pjHJQNyi-e3ue1psZpoYkFxYe3Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85NmNi/Y2E5NTc0ODhjZDUx/ZmVhOWIxMThmOWJm/NjY3Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
