Learning to be an effective landlord for their Rent Net, LLC business has been a new challenge for Theresa, one that she values greatly and looks forward to passing on to their children.

She was featured in the magazine, Live More, in a two page spread on Health and Wellness, “Nutrition Sets the Stage.” Also, Theresa has lectured to many audiences on topics of wealth building and on topics of health and vitality.
