Anyone Can Become A Real Estate Investor

Many feel that an investment in real estate is something that can only be done by other people. That it’s enough to rent an apartment and get by, as anything more is too difficult. But Michelle Vega has spent a lot of her career proving that all have equal opportunities and possibilities when beginning a real estate journey, and not just to own a new house, but also to turn that house into a form of income.
Hailing from the heart of New Jersey, Michelle always had dreams of making it big. She started into the world of employment at the young age of 13, when she began helping her grandmother manage her flower shop. The experience she gained in this fast paced environment enabled her to create career goals for her future at an age when many people don’t yet understand what it means to hold down a job. Michelle Vega used her skills to take on two, part time jobs during high school, and was set on working in a life of sales afterward. After graduating, she moved to North Carolina on a hunt for bigger and better opportunities. Despite deterrents and roadblocks, Michelle never slowed down, and used every hurdle as a way to learn something new, or otherwise better herself. Experiences working for other companies eventually brought her to the realization that the only way to realize her full potential would be to eliminate ceilings created by other employers. She set out to get her real estate license, and, very soon, began a career as an entrepreneur.
But Michelle Vega’s motivation for making it big in the real estate field wasn’t just so that she could become a successful entrepreneur. During the journey that had led her into her new life, she’d seen that there was an untapped market of home buyers. Buyers that reminded her a lot of herself. In her search for employment and opportunity, she had found herself held back many times due to the simple fact that not everyone would make time to assist those just starting out. It meant more work and guidance, and many people were not willing to put in that extra effort.
Later in her life, when Michelle Vega entered the real estate field, she vowed to attend to this portion of the market that she felt was being neglected. She realized that there were people everywhere that had the same questions she’d had, and were being largely ignored because of this extra attention they would need. She didn’t plan, however to simply sell these people houses. She wanted to help them make decisions that could give them a new life. Personally, Michelle had begun purchasing homes with the intent of using them as investment properties, and it hadn’t taken long for her to see the long term benefit in this strategy. She wanted to help others who had been in her position to do the same. With this goal in mind, she began focusing on the groups of people who needed the most help. People who hadn’t had the chance to develop a high credit score, people with student loans, people with pending immigration statuses…she invested the same amount of dedication into these lives as she’d put into her own, and immediately began to see results. In 2019 alone, Michelle Vega sold 130 houses. Shortly after, she began creating her own team of Realtors, and, in 2020, they sold 230 houses. With the numbers still rising, this team has surpassed 300 homes in 2021. But she didn’t just sell these people houses, she provided guidance and mentorship to them so that they could use their properties as investments rather than just homes. In fact, this is what Michelle Vega loves the most about her job.
“I love the ability to change lives. If I help a single mom today, making $13/hr buy her own house, even if it’s not the dream home, she can make an investment in her family’s future. In a year (the way the market is trending), she can sell that house for a profit, and buy another. Or start buying rental properties with the equity she has acquired.”
Over 90% of these homes have been bought by first time home buyers and those immigrating from other countries. Many of these people may struggle to find employment that will get them ahead in life, but Michelle is proud of the fact that she is able to help these families set themselves up for a better future by guiding them through the process of real estate investment.

MetaWorx: Building Full-Stack AI Teams, Not Just Automation

Automation still dominates most headlines, yet the returns often fail to meet expectations. A sprawling chatbot rollout might shave a few support tickets, but it rarely shifts the profit-and-loss statement in a lasting way.
McKinsey’s 2025 workplace survey pegs AI’s long-term productivity upside at $4.4 trillion, but only one percent of enterprises say they’ve reached true “AI maturity.” MetaWorx, a Dallas, Texas-based AI employee agency founded by Rachel Kite, argues that the shortfall has nothing to do with models and everything to do with people.
“Treat AI like a point solution and you’ll get point-solution results,” shares Kite. “You need a roster that can carry the ball from raw data to governance, or the whole thing stalls at the proof-of-concept phase.”
The pod blueprint
When a plug-and-play automation script collapsed under real-world data drift, costing Kite a lucrative contract, she sketched the six-person “pod” that now anchors every MetaWorx engagement:
- An infrastructure architect to tame compute costs.
- A data engineer to secure and shape pipelines.
- An applied scientist to prototype models against live feedback loops.
- An MLOps engineer to automate rollback and retraining.
- A domain product lead translates forecasts into features users actually notice.
- Ethics and compliance analysts to stress test outputs for bias and keep the audit.
The team’s first sprint still delivers a quick-win bot — “small enough to calm the CFO,” jokes Kite — but the roadmap quickly pivots to reliability, explainability, and eventually optimization. By tying every algorithmic decision to a quantifiable business metric, the pods turn AI from a science project into a growth lever.
Recruiting for curiosity, not credentials
With Bain & Company predicting a global AI-skills crunch through 2027, MetaWorx has stopped chasing unicorn résumés. Instead, it hires “adjacent athletes”: a computer-vision PhD who hops from medical imaging to warehouse surveillance, or a former journalist who recasts her nose for story into prompt-engineering finesse.
“Domain expertise expires fast,” Kite says. “What doesn’t expire is the instinct to ask better questions.” The result is a lattice of overlapping skills that stays flexible when models wander into the long tail of edge-case data.
A culture of rapid experiments
Inside MetaWorx, every idea faces the same litmus test: ship something — anything — into a user’s hands within 21 days. The “three-week rule” forces prototypes into the wild early, where failure is cheap and feedback is swift. Post-mortems, including cost overruns, are circulated company-wide, erasing any stigma associated with missteps.
That laboratory mindset powers velocity. “Our first model is almost always wrong,” Kite admits, “but version 1.0 is the tuition we pay for version 2.0.” The philosophy echoes her TEDx talk on resilience: progress is iterative, not heroic.
How leaders can steal the playbook
Executives itching to replicate MetaWorx’s results don’t need a blank check. Kite offers a five-step sequence:
- Inventory pain points, not tools: Walk the P&L line by line and tag the friction you can measure.
- Map the stack to the problem: A recommendation engine, for instance, requires behavior data, retraining triggers, and feedback capture — automation alone won’t suffice.
- Stand up a pod: Reassign existing talent into a cross-functional tiger team before hiring externally; the chemistry test is free.
- Measure the story, not just the statistic: Pair model accuracy with human-scale metrics like ticket backlog or employee churn.
- Budget for the boring: Reserve at least 30 percent of spend for MLOps and governance; Stanford’s HAI review links most AI failures to neglected upkeep.
Taken together, those steps shift AI from a pilot novelty to an operational habit that compounds value rather than topping out after an initial PR splash.
Character still scales faster than code
MetaWorx plans to double its headcount this year, yet Kite insists the secret isn’t a proprietary framework or a monster war chest. It’s credibility. Clients see a founder who has wrestled with the same outages and surprise bills they face. That authenticity converts skeptics faster than any algorithmic novelty.
“Tools level out,” Kite says. “Culture compounds.”
The insight lands in a marketplace still dazzled by generative fireworks. Yes, MetaWorx ships models and dashboards, but its true product is a mindset: resilience over rigidity, questions over credentials, experiments over edicts. In Kite’s world, automation is merely the appetizer. The main course is a full-stack team that knows why the model matters to the business and who owns its success after launch day.
And that, Kite argues, is how AI finally graduates from cost-cutter to growth engine, one curious pod at a time.
