Kathleen Kramer Pt 1. Real Estate and the Post Pandemic Recovery

 Bruce is joined by Kathleen Kramer.  In her 25+ years as a licensed Real Estate Broker and Mortgage Originator, Kathleen Kramer has closed over 2500 transactions for more than a $1 billion in volume.  She ran a successful Real Estate club in Huntington Beach from 2002 to 2006.  She and her husband, Michael, have personally invested in a variety of real estate backed investments including single family, multi-family, office, land development, reg D syndications and non-performing notes in several states.  

Investing in real estate gave Kathleen the financial liberty to take a sabbatical from her Real Estate and Mortgage Brokerage business for the last two years.  She spent the time rehabbing her house in Huntington Beach, travelling, homeschooling her daughter, caring for the older generation and planning what is ‘next’.  

Kathleen earned a degree in Business Economics from University of California at Santa Barbara in 1990.  Besides being a licensed CA Broker, she holds certifications in Commercial Real Estate, Private Lending and Mortgage Planning.  She is a regular speaker at the Orange County Real Estate Investor Association, providing monthly macro-economic and local Real Estate market updates.  She enjoys leading a Girl Scout Troop, teaching classes on real estate due diligence, and coaching her clients on moving up from single family to multi-family investing.  

Bruce and Kathleen talk about the real estate market and how they think it is holding up and how it will help the economy going forward in a post pandemic world.
