#202: Empowering Women Through Real Estate Investing - Jenny Rodriguez

What does it look like to build wealth, freedom, and confidence through real estate — while creating space for more women at the table? In this episode of the Leadway Wealth Builders Podcast, Chris sits down with Jenny Rodriguez, real estate investor, agent, and community builder, to unpack her journey and mission to empower women through investing. Jenny shares how her real estate journey began in 2014 with buying and selling a townhouse that allowed her to pay off student loans early. After transitioning from a legal career and earning her real estate license in 2019 to gain more flexibility as a mom, Jenny went all-in on investing alongside her husband and brother-in-law. Their first flip in 2022 became the turning point that proved real estate could be more than a side hustle — it could be the foundation of their family’s future. Throughout the episode, Jenny breaks down how they scaled from cash flips to hard money and private capital, the costly lessons learned from hiring the wrong contractors, and why defining clear roles within their team transformed their business. She also shares how the lack of female representation in investing led her to create a women-focused real estate meetup — which has since grown into a thriving community with newsletters, coaching, and free masterclasses. 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔️ How Jenny transitioned from law to real estate investing ✔️ The right (and wrong) way to scale flips with leverage ✔️ Why hiring the cheapest contractor can cost you the most ✔️ How defining team roles unlocked faster growth ✔️ The power of community and networking in real estate ✔️ How Jenny is helping women overcome fear and get started Whether you’re brand new to real estate or looking to scale with clarity and confidence, this episode is packed with practical lessons — and a powerful reminder that you don’t have to do this alone. 👇 Connect with Jenny Rodriguez: 📲 Instagram: @invest_with_jenny 🎧 Listen now: Apple Podcasts| Spotify | YouTube 💡 Follow for more real estate & wealth-building strategies: 📸 Instagram: @chris.reichenbach 📲 TikTok: @chris.reichenbach #LeadwayWealthBuilders #WomenInRealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #FemaleInvestors #WealthBuilding #RealEstatePodcast #FinancialFreedom #CommunityOverCompetition #InvestingEducation
