This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Liz Faircloth, co-founder of the Real Estate InvestHER community and longtime multifamily investor. Liz shares how she built a platform that empowers women to invest with confidence, the strategies she teaches for scaling sustainably, and why financial freedom should support life purpose, not replace it.

Plus, the hosts revisit a growing industry debate about AI and the future of the real estate professional. They explore how technology is changing the way deals are analyzed and marketed, and why relationships and trust may matter more than ever.

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Brian Scott Cohen, a top mortgage lender who has closed billions in loans and helped thousands of buyers and investors structure stronger deals.

Plus, the hosts explore a question reshaping the industry: will AI replace real estate brokers? They break down how technology is changing pricing, marketing, and client relationships, and why the future may depend on professionals who know how to combine data with human judgment.

This week, Candice and Malessa sit down with Pace Morby, known as the Creative Finance Guy, who built a national portfolio by acquiring properties without traditional bank financing. From his start as a contractor to founding the SubTo community, Pace breaks down how subject-to deals work, the risks investors overlook, and why creative financing can open the door for people with limited capital or credit.

Plus, the hosts unpack a growing market shift, the rise of all-cash buyers. With nearly one in three purchases happening without a mortgage, they explore how cash is reshaping competition, pricing, and access to homeownership and what it signals about the future of the housing market.
