Vena Jones-Cox didn’t just write another “get rich quick” book—she wrote this because real estate changed her life.
At 23, she was broke, deep in debt, and stuck in a miserable corporate job. Then she stumbled into a local REIA meeting and discovered that ordinary people were building wealth through real estate. She took the leap, learned by doing, and built a seven-figure investing business that gave her freedom, flexibility, and purpose.
This book was written to help you take that same first step—without all the rookie mistakes and wasted time. It’s her way of showing everyday people in the Kansas City area exactly what it takes to start from scratch and build real wealth in real estate.
Vena Jones-Cox—known nationwide as The Real Estate Goddess—is a full-time investor, educator, and former national president of the Real Estate Investors Association. She’s personally bought, sold, and financed over 1,000 properties across multiple market cycles, and still actively invests today.
She’s been featured on major real estate stages across the U.S. and Canada, created multiple training programs, and coached thousands of investors one-on-one to build thriving real estate businesses.
