Deba's Story

"I chose real estate investing as I outgrew the constraints of a 9 to 5 job. It became apparent that life was more than waiting for promotions and annual vacations. The desire for freedom, both in terms of time and ability to shape my community, led me to the world of real estate investing, where passive income became a reality. My life has undergone a transformative evolution, and I am empowered to guide others towards becoming successful real estate investors too."

What Started Principles of Real Estate, LLC

As former Assistant Principal in the DFW area, Deba Douglas had the opportunity of meeting so many different families over the years, and I was able to get a glimpse of the disparities regarding housing in so many of my students.

We believe that confidence is based on your environment and it starts at home. I want children that live in our homes to have the very best and it starts with housing. We send quarterly newsletters to our tenants to share free family outings in the area, job postings, provide rent discount to families when their children make the A honor-roll each grading period, and so much more.

Not only do we purchase propertiesremodel them and, we also help families facing foreclosure by providing creative options to help save their homes, and we share our knowledge with real estate by helping people become real estate investors.

Shortly after this experience, Deba purchased her first duplex and created Douglas Dwellings, LLC.

I had students that lived in very affluent areas as well as students that lived in low-income areas with limited resources.

I remember having a student that told me he lived in a one bed apartment with his mom, two siblings, aunt, and three cousins. He would complain about having back pains all throughout the semester, as I formed a relationship with him, he shared that his back pain was from sleeping on the floor every night. In that moment, I knew that I had to do something to help in my communities.

My heart was set on purchasing properties in low-income areas and remodeling them to look as though it was in an affluent area, so every family that lives on our property knows that they’re special and they deserve the very best, regardless of where they live.

After several successful investments, she decided to educate and support others to become real estate investors and created Principles of Real Estate, LLC.
