Recently, she was honored by the California State Legislature, 55th District, for her contribution to expanding real-estate investing knowledge (Oct. 2023).

She began her realty career many years ago as a broker’s assistant to a young broker who became a multimillionaire by age 29 fixing and flipping homes. When they worked together, he was a seminar devotee and took educational training around the nation with some of the greatest masters in the industry. She kept a close ear to his teachings, obtained her real estate license, and began to focus more on the investing side of the real estate industry.

Soon, Linda began to help her family, friends and colleagues also invest in rental properties, particularly out of state. Linda has been a licensed real estate agent for over 17 years.
