Ep.027: Investing Beyond Returns: Rebekah Taylor on Wealth, Wellness & Impact
Rebekah Taylor's journey into real estate investing is a testament to strategic planning, family influence, and a commitment to creating financial freedom. Growing up with an entrepreneurial father who introduced her to investing at a young age, Rebekah transitioned from a successful tech career to full-time real estate investing in 2020.
Her investment strategy began with a house hack in 2012, where she and her husband purchased a property, renovated the basement, and rented it out. By age 30, they had become debt-free, and in 2020, they strategically used their home's equity to expand their real estate portfolio.
Taylor's investment approach spans multiple asset classes, with a particular focus on multifamily properties and assisted living facilities. She looks for properties built after 1980, preferring 80-100 unit complexes that can generate immediate cash flow. Her recent ventures include a 125-bed assisted living facility in Wisconsin, recognizing the growing demand in this sector.
Through her company, Taylored Investments, Rebekah aims to do more than just generate returns. Her vision extends beyond financial gains, hoping to help investors develop holistic strategies that support mental, spiritual, and physical well-being.
Key to her success has been continuous learning through podcasts, conferences, and a business coach. She emphasizes the collaborative nature of the real estate investment community, where professionals are eager to support and learn from each other.
For aspiring investors, Rebekah's message is clear: start early, be strategic, and focus on creating investments that provide both financial returns and personal fulfillment.
