How Kathy Fettke Became a Real Estate Investing Expert

Kathy received her BA in Broadcast Communications from San Francisco State University. She has worked in the newsrooms of CNN, FOX, CTV and ABC-7, and is a past-president of American Women in Radio & Television. As a certified personal coach through the Coaches Training Institute, she took the coaching process to television in 2001 and produced a cable show called “DREAM” which followed the process of six people going after their dreams over 90 days. Kathy noticed a theme: most people don’t have time for their dreams when they are spending all their time at work to make money to pay the bills.

The show sponsor was a real estate expert and the segments they produced changed her life. After interviewing dozens of real estate millionaires, Kathy discovered their best strategies for creating passive income streams. She and her husband, Rich Fettke, bought numerous investment properties and since then learned the highs and lows of investing that can only come from hands-on experience.

In 2003, Kathy and Rich, took their passion giving people the resources and connections they need to live a life of real wealth to the next level by founding RealWealth. The company’s goals were 1) to teach people how to create financial freedom with real estate, 2) to connect them with the resources and real estate investment opportunities needed to succeed, and 3) to accomplish this by providing educational resources and professional industry connections for free. Today, they’ve helped more than 77,000 members build real wealth.

Kathy loves the freedom that real estate investing can bring. She is an avid traveler and enjoys hiking, rock climbing, skiing, figure skating and surfing. She lives in Malibu, California with her husband, Rich. She also has two daughters and one grandson who live nearby.
