About Me

I am a former dental hygienist turned real estate investor/developer. I am currently converting apartments into condominiums in Redding, CA (my hometown).Here's the development's website www.aboutmonacocondos.com .I also created a reality show, produced by Scott Rosenfelt, called Making of a Millionaire that follows the process of the condo conversion.I also just completed my first book about investing in commercial real estate. It's called The Best Damn Commercial Real Estate Investing Book Ever Written! You can find it on Amazon and also at Barnes & NobleAs if all of that doesn't keep me busy enough, I am also the mom of two awesome boys ages 5 and 3. Needless to say all of that makes for a busy, busy time right now. I get a lot of help from my husband Mike. I love taking on new projects and challenges. I especially love proving people wrong when they tell me that I can't do something. ..Checkout what I've BeenUp2!
