NEWH - Summer 2022 - 14
EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND DIVERSITY
Independence, Confidence, and Drive were shared through a series
of photographs with the panel. These are also used as a tool in
recruiting prospective employers.
TLTSOLUTIONS
TLTsolutions works to provide access to alternative investments and
assist communities of color to acquire residential and commercial
real estate. She Has a Deal provides a platform that offers similar
assistance to create opportunities for commercial real estate
ownership and development for women. These goals are achieved
through education, networking and investment opportunities. Tracy
began the discussion with some of her own challenges she had to
overcome in the realization of her dreams.
Her inspiration for that dream was the book " Rich Dad, Poor Dad " by
Robert Kiyosaki. With that motivation, and the desire to enter the real
estate market, she used the bonus from her full-time job to purchase
her first condo. In addition, she studied commercial real estate in her
free time. However, when she tried to purchase her first hotel, she
was denied. But that did not stop her from working. She " put herself
out there " by working to inspire women who believed in her vision.
She hired a mentor to assist her in establishing the framework for
her company and shared her passion with other like-minded women.
They joined her and became shareholders to help her in purchasing
her first hotel. Since then, she has worked to grow her business
to help prevent the same hurdles for others and guide women like
herself to build generational wealth through hotel ownership. This
drew the attention of both Marriott and Hilton, which reached out to
" join forces " with her company, She Has a Deal.
THE LATINO HOTEL ASSOCIATION
The Latino Hotel Association has been working to offer Latinos
in the U.S. the resources needed to begin their journey into hotel
investments and ownership. They work to provide the knowledge,
funding, and support to take advantage of those opportunities.
Lynette is originally from New Mexico and English is her second
language. She had moved to Dallas but chose to leave an abusive
relationship and returned to Santa Fe, the single parent of two. Her
father was a source of encouragement to her and suggested that
she get her license in real estate focusing on residential properties.
While collaborating with clients in the search for their perfect home,
she discovered that they were developing a hotel management
company. When her clients decided not to purchase a home, she
took the initiative and offered to sell them a hotel. They agreed
and she brokered her first deal, for the St. Anthony Hotel for $65
million. She educated herself in the industry by attending investment
conferences, which were mostly attended by men at that time. In
addition, she joined the Latino Hotel Association and has since
risen to the office of president. One of her goals is to promote hotel
ownership among the Latino community and believes that there is
quite a bit of growth potential there.
PANEL TAKEAWAYS
Indeed, there are hurdles to overcome when it comes to EID in the
industry. We should collaborate with employers to encourage them
to take a chance on someone they would not normally consider.
Embrace the younger generation of talent and remember: Don't
give the younger generation pity, give them a paycheck. Work with
minorities to get their real estate licenses and help them grow
generational wealth. Provide access to economic opportunity, such
as capital to invest, in order to grow the economy and uplift their
communities.
The question was asked of the panelists, " What does it take to dream
something and see it through? " Have the Guts. Take the step and do
it. Be committed to it. Journal your goals. Take business coaching
lessons. Read your goals. Focus on the younger generation to help to
prepare them. And finally, be PASSIONATE about it!
