Her portfolio consists of 437 units as a LP, 220 units as a GP, a strategic partner in a 125-bed assisted living facility, and 225 properties in a fund-of-fund. Rebekah and her husband also have a portfolio of their own properties in Lynchburg. They provide funding for small businesses/flippers and they’re always looking for ways to make their money work for them.

They created Taylored Investments to help individuals reach their financial goals, and have more time freedom to enjoy life with the people they love. Taylored Investments identifies, analyzes, and acquires income generating real estate assets so our investors make money while they sleep.
