I currently reside in Madison, WI.  I got started in real estate investing when I bought my first home and rented out the 2 other rooms to friends.  I've always worked in sales for a day job but saw how you could put your hard earned capital to work for you on the side.  When I moved from my first home, I turned the house into a straight rental property.  Meanwhile, my oldest brother started doing the same and we were both hooked.  We started to see the power of setting up passive income streams firsthand.  So, we started an investment company, Westmorland Investments, and are looking for our next purchase to enter into the mid-level multi-family investment space.

I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit and sales is about as close as you can get while working in a W2 job.  It can be tough managing both at times but I like to follow what lights me up and real estate investing is without a doubt one of those things.

Marissa Rodriguez Bio

She was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas by two hardworking and selfless parents. She is the oldest of four children. Her parents worked hard so that my siblings and I could have better than they did. Could have the opportunities that they did not and there was nothing that we lacked. I did not come from a wealthy or well-connected family, but I do have a strong and loving family. They taught me to have an unwavering faith in God at a very young age and he and I have been friends ever since. My faith in God has pulled me through many challenging times in my life. From completing college while pregnant, graduating from law school, divorce, and recently fighting cancer. I am blessed to have been surrounded by strong Latina women since birth. My mother, aunts, and grandmothers paved the way before me. My grandmother told me that I am just like her because we have the blood of a lion running through our veins. Each time I fall, I get back up and enjoy giving life a run for its money. I am a happy and proud mother of a smart and beautiful 15-year-old daughter. I am a cancer survivor, the only Hispanic attorney in the firm that I work for, on the board of directors for a nonprofit and a true believer that God blesses us so that we may be a blessing to others. I have an unquenchable desire for knowledge and learning. Every day is a blessing and I still feel as if I am just getting started. I am excited to see what more this life has for me.
