How to Choose the RIGHT Partners in Real Estate (After a Nightmare Deal) | Ep 87

🎙On this episode of the Wealth Genius Podcast, Alfonso Cuadra sits down with Karen Wilson to talk about what real estate investing really looks like behind the scenes - the wins, the setbacks, and the mindset shifts that turn “almost quitting” into long-term momentum. Karen shares her origin story, including a shocking early experience involving a fraudulent real estate investing circle, and the biggest lesson it taught her: who you work with matters. From there, she breaks down how she rebuilt her approach, structured early deals with friends (before she even knew what a JV was), and how she’s grown into multiple projects across markets like Prescott and Calgary. They also get into what it’s like investing as a couple, how Karen pushed past discomfort to start showing up on social media, and the unexpected opportunities that came from simply taking action. Plus: a fun “elephant in the room” moment you won’t miss. 👉 Connect with Karen:   / karen.wilson.519171   👉 Learn about upcoming Wealth Genius events: wealthgenius.ai/events 👉 ExpandWealth Real Estate Fund info session: expandewealthfund.com Resources & Links: 🌐 Learn more about the Expand Wealth Fund: expandwealthfund.com Follow & Connect with Alfonso Cuadra: Website - https://alfonsocuadra.com/ Facebook -   / alfonso.cuadra.58   Instagram -   / alfonsocuadra   Youtube -    / @alfonso2k8   Follow & Join WealthGenius Website - https://www.wealthgenius.ai/ Facebook -   / wealthgenius   Genius Investors Group Facebook -   / 391121528783365   Instagram -   / wealthgeniushq   Twitter - https://x.com/wealthgeniushq ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 – Intro 0:43 – Karen’s origin story: getting started in real estate 2:16 – The fraud experience: how it happened + what she learned 3:41 – Rebuilding after setbacks: trust, partners, and protecting yourself 4:40 – First multifamily JV (before she knew what a JV was) 5:34 – What she’s working on now: Prescott conversion + Calgary deal 6:50 – Biggest recent lesson: staying open to new info as markets shift 8:30 – Investing as a couple: how Karen & Michael divide roles 9:48 – Tips for couples investing together (communication + letting go) 13:35 – Growth beyond real estate: confidence, mindset, saying yes 17:33 – Social media benefits: new connections + unexpected opportunities 18:49 – The “elephant in the room”: the hair color question 😂 21:48 – Karen’s mantra: “If you’re not growing, you’re dying” 23:03 – Wrap up
