Today’s Guest: Maria Marks—former operating room nurse turned real estate investor and educator.


Maria didn’t plan to be “a finance person.” But a family loss, a push to learn, and one bold step into mentorship changed everything.  Today Maria is a General Partner with 1,500+ doors across 12 properties (translation: she helps run over 1,500 apartments… wild, right?). Her mission? Helping women build confidence, ask better questions, and make investing feel real—you can see it, touch it, understand it 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Moving through imposter syndrome (and why it never fully disappears)
  • The moment real estate “clicked”: seeing, touching, understanding an asset
  • Why community matters more than a perfect plan
  • What nursing taught Maria about trust, listening, and investor conversations
  • How to plant seeds (not lectures) when talking money with women & teens
  • A simple thought exercise to picture cash flow that isn’t from a job
  • “Is it too late to start?” (spoiler: no)
