From high school math teacher to seasoned real estate investor, Nancy Larcom O’Brien shares her journey into investing and how education-first strategies can help investors avoid expensive mistakes. This episode breaks down how deal analysis, underwriting, and pro forma modeling can be learned safely through simulations, mentorship, and disciplined decision-making instead of risky trial-by-fire investing.

What You’ll Learn

  • How first-time investors can analyze deals with confidence
  • Why simulations and financial modeling outperform hype driven investing
  • How mentorship helps avoid costly early mistakes
  • Building clarity before deploying real capital
  • Education-focused investing in evolving urban markets like Philadelphia

If you’re serious about long-term success, disciplined growth, and smart investing, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
