Ep. 176: From Economics to Real Estate Investing with Angel Williams

The coronavirus has impacted all Americans yet the real impact for multifamily investors is still unclear. As a passive multifamily investor and adjunct professor of economics, Angel Williams believes economic vacancies could go as high as 40%. She advises investors to focus on retention, not pushing rents during this period of uncertainty. 

 

Angel is the Co-Founder of The Academy Presents and Managing Partner of Lorren Capital, LLC.  The Academy Presents is hosting the Real Estate Investing Rocks Digital Summit this weekend. In this episode, we talk about the digital summit, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, and lessons learned from passive investing.
