Erica Kiang is an NYC-based fashion entrepreneur and real estate investor who has generated $60M+ in sales over 15 years in the fashion industry. After building a successful fashion showroom, she realized that true financial freedom doesn’t come from just running a business—it comes from owning assets. So she has dived into real estate within the last year, purchasing a 3 unit property in Brooklyn and is an LP in a 20 unit property. Her mission is to help fashion entrepreneurs scale their businesses and invest in multifamily real estate to create long-term wealth. She’s also the founder of NY Women Real Estate Investors, a growing community empowering women to build financial independence through real estate.Connect with :Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=111944Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erica.kiang/LinkeIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erica-kiang-55730317/Connect with Emeka Ogbonna:Donate to cure Type 1 Diabetes: https://www2.breakthrought1d.org/site/Donation2?idb=618632020&df_id=24538&FR_ID=10176&mfc_pref=T&PROXY_ID=13772239&PROXY_TYPE=20&24538.donation=form1Website: Gobonnaequity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stayreadyrealestate/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emeka-ogbonna-481379164/YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIeAZ-rMMFqhE44gu23a0Tqo7a5xqemQD&si=81iIqKvKfCl05ktMSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7C5pv7sUSF0qEcotOmdElmX: https://twitter.com/EmekarOgbonna
