My 97 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: whole life. All the way through college, I never made 98 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: more than ten dollars an hour. 99 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: So I would. 100 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: Always prepare things back to how long did I have 101 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: to work in order. 102 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: To earn this? Right? 103 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: So when I was a kid, I want to buy 104 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: like a whop of for ninety nine cent, not be 105 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: thinking myself and that's like twenty minutes work to work. 106 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: I'd be calculate these things, right. 107 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 2: And so when I when I got older, I would 108 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: do the same thing.

And then I came across real 112 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: estate investing and passing income and that was the first 113 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: time I was ever introduced to the idea of earning 114 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: money without having to work or actively trade hours for dollars. 115 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: And from there I was hooked. 116 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: You know, I was used to a lot of manual 117 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: labor as a kid, and when I came across an 118 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 2: opportunity to allow my investments or my money to work 119 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: for me, I was always audience. That's kind of where 120 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: a quote comes from, because not everybody knows that that 121 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: is an option. 122 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 5: That is an amazing quote. 123 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 6: And I'm going to assume that Tasio, that you would 124 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 6: agree with that quote and have something to share and 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 6: chime in with. So I'd love to pass the mike 126 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 6: to you, lady. What comes up for you when you 127 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 6: hear that quote from your husband? 128 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 8: Personally, I feel like it's a reminder of how much 129 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 8: I've overcome because unlike him, he grew up in a 130 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 8: family full of entrepreneurs. I grew up in a family 131 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 8: full of nine to five workers. I'm from Detroit. Most 132 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 8: people and my family worked at the factory. 133 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 3: They were either factory. 134 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 8: Workers or if they had gone to college, they still 135 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 8: worked for one of the big three auto companies, and 136 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 8: so we were just used to working. So for me, 137 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 8: if I wanted something and I felt like I had 138 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 8: to work for it, and I had to go to 139 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 8: work in the most traditional means, like go to college 140 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 8: things like that. 141 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: So when I hear that quote. 142 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 8: It just reminds me of how much I've overcome in 143 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 8: terms of thinking that, you know, my labor had to 144 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 8: support my lifestyle as opposed to learning how to invest 145 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 8: so that my investments could support my life style. Because 146 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 8: of him that I got on that way. 147 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 5: Team work makes the dream work. I love it. 148 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: I love it. 149 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 4: Yes, And so both of you have kind of shared 150 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 4: a little bit of your origin story, but let's take 151 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: a little bit deeper.

And then he did really 180 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 8: so when I say he was jacking me, he really 181 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 8: didn't have a crush on me, and I was just like, 182 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 8: you know, I kind of like him too, And then 183 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 8: it evolved into us being more than friends. 184 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 3: And yeah, that was that was pretty much o our 185 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 3: get together story. 186 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 8: And then he broke up with me because he said 187 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 8: that he graduated college before me, and he felt like 188 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 8: he didn't he wasn't gonna be with me. 189 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 9: I remember, you know, every good relationship isn't always perfect the. 190 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: Whole way, you know, And so he realized what a 191 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 3: catch I was. 192 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 8: He told me one day, he was like, you know what, 193 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 8: I realized how amazing we were after we broke up 194 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 8: and you did your own thing and you weren't sweating me, 195 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 8: and you weren't out here, you know, trying to chase 196 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 8: other guys and do all of this stuff. I just realized, like, okay, 197 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 8: so you. 198 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 3: Didn't remember that. I remembered all of this time. He 199 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 3: was supposed. 200 00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 10: That we got back together and then you know the 201 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 10: rest the rest. 202 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: That's that's all true. I very much. 203 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 6: So now that we got the truth out of the 204 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 6: way in Tatiana, and do you want to tell us 205 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 6: about how you all began this journey? How did you seriously, 206 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 6: how did you begin the business side of your relationship? 207 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 6: Because it sounds like you all had this lovely love story, 208 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 6: met in school, you know, broke up a little bit, 209 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 6: got back together because you realize this is the one, 210 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 6: this is the person. But how did you all start 211 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 6: the business aspect together? 212 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: I think for me from the jump, it was always 213 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: important to have a partner that I could share everything with. 214 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: I had seen my parents grow up doing the same thing, 215 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: like they work together, they owned the business together, so 216 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: it was just a way of life for me. I 217 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: have never really imagined it any other way. So as 218 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: I was going through the process of learning about real estate, 219 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: learning the stocks, you know, every time I went and 220 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: talked to an investment advisor or I hired a coach 221 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: or somebody to help me, I brought along with. 222 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: Me because I knew like that was how I wanted 223 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: my life to be. 224 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: And I always I always felt like if anything ever 225 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: happened to me, then somebody would have to step up 226 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: take care of our children, or you know, maybe even 227 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 2: know how to keep things flowing until I get out 228 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 2: of the hospital or something like that. 229 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: So for me, it was. 230 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: Always an important thing from the start. And we started 231 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: just by having open conversations about, you know, what our 232 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: goals on and what I when I saw for our 233 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: family in the future, and and just you know, being 234 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: vulnerable and having those conversations. And she was like I'm 235 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: with it, and I was like, okay, you're the one. 236 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 3: He also telling me too, I got buried. No women 237 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: for if you don't get on this budget And if. 238 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 7: She was. 239 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 4: A word that's that's real. 240 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: It was motivating, that's what she was thinking about doing 241 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: the breakup. 242 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 5: I got to stick to this budget. I love that. 243 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 6: And when you all think about I know for my family, 244 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 6: you know, my grandparents own their home, but I didn't 245 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 6: really see people owning rental properties and multi family units 246 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 6: growing up, and so a lot of times it seems 247 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 6: though it was out of reach for me because I 248 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 6: didn't see that representation. So can you all talk about 249 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 6: why it's important for black and brown people to own 250 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 6: real estate, Like for people that may be listening like, oh, 251 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 6: I can't do that, that's not for me, Like why 252 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 6: is that important for us? 253 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 8: I think the number one answer is rooted in the 254 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 8: way that you ask a question, which is that for me, 255 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 8: it was my grandparents. For him, his grandparents and parents. 256 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 8: We see a lot of this represented in other communities 257 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 8: like the Jewish community, Asian Indian communities, where real. 258 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: Estate is one of the most transformative elements. 259 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 8: And it's not even just wanting multiple properties, but when 260 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 8: you can select one property that you can pull equity 261 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 8: out of it, even if yeah, the one that you're 262 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 8: living in right, that you can pull some equity out 263 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 8: of to fund your kids college, or pay for your 264 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 8: children's wedding, or to buy them a car, or. 265 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 3: To take a family vacation. That's what many of these 266 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: cultures are doing. 267 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 8: And so we encourage people to just consider buying that 268 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 8: one property because it can transform everything for you and 269 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 8: your family. And then when you start to expand and 270 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 8: purchase multiple properties, that's when you get into replacing incomes 271 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 8: or using that income from the rental properties to buy 272 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 8: other assets. 273 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: And things like that. 274 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: Well, I was just going to add to that that 275 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: outside of the financial gain of owning properties, there's also 276 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: the control piece, right, And so if we ever want 277 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: it as a community be able to move into a 278 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: position of demand and respect. 279 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 3: And control, we have to start owning, right. 280 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: We don't so we don't have to be in a 281 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: position of begging or asking the permission or asking to 282 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: be treated fairly, but rather stepping up to the table 283 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: and saying this is what it's going to. 284 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: Be, right and that and that all comes through ownership. 285 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: So I would encourage everybody to own multiple properties. 286 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 4: Yes, So I have a question about that about encouraging 287 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 4: people to own multiple properties. Right, you have coached six 288 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 4: hundred plus students in this area. M what tends to 289 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 4: be the top three setbacks that keep people from getting 290 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 4: started with real estate? 291 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 8: Okay, I think we both have to some areas, some 292 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 8: different ideas about that. I know one of the biggest 293 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 8: things from my perspective is the fear, and I think 294 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 8: it's rooted in the fact that many of us have 295 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 8: not seen it's happened before in our communities or in 296 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 8: our families, so we. 297 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: Don't we're afraid, we don't know, we haven't done it before. 298 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 3: In real estate, it's typically the largest purchase. 299 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 8: That most of us are going to make, so it 300 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 8: brings its sort of way to it. I think another 301 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 8: thing is misinformation. Right, so it's in the news and 302 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 8: we hear about it on the radio or social media. 303 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 8: You know what's going on in the market, whether it's 304 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 8: up or down, or whether we're not we're in a recession, 305 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 8: or whether or not it's a buyer or a seller's market, 306 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 8: and that type of stuff can cloud your logic, especially 307 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 8: when you don't. 308 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: Know a lot about real estate and his team. 309 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 8: And then I would say the third thing is probably 310 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 8: getting over the mental hump. We've seen our students be 311 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 8: right at that point where they have the funding to 312 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 8: buy properties. Because we'd like to teach people to use 313 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 8: other people's money in order to do their deals. They 314 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 8: find good deals, they brought the deals to us, We've 315 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 8: looked over them two or three times, are like, this 316 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 8: was a good deal. Everything is working out, and they 317 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 8: just can't believe in themselves enough to pull the trigger. 318 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 8: They're like, well, what if I mess something up? What 319 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 8: if I do this? What if I do that? Like, 320 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 8: you've you've never messed it. You've been living for thirty 321 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 8: forty twenty years now, you've never missed anything up. Why 322 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 8: now would you mess up? And so I think that 323 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 8: those are sort of the three big things that stand 324 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 8: out to me. 325 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 3: I got two very different ones. 326 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: I figured I would say Number one, it's typically credit 327 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: or bad having bad credit, And a lot of times 328 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 2: people are maybe thirty to one hundred and eighty days 329 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: away from actually repairing their credit to the point that 330 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: it's good enough. Right, most people think, I need an 331 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: eight hundred plus credit score and you don't. Six eighty 332 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 2: gets a deal done. And always say work with what 333 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 2: you got til you get what you want, right, So 334 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: don't wait until you have that six eighty. I mean, 335 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 2: don't wait until you have an eight hundred. Get in 336 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: own a property, allow the value of that property to 337 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 2: start going up over time, collect your rent, through all 338 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: of those things that come with ownership, and you can 339 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 2: be improving your credit during that process. 340 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 3: Right. So I say the credit is one. 341 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: Thing, and then the second thing is that people tend 342 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 2: to choose comfort over freedom, and that's the biggest issue. 343 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 3: Right. 344 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: It's comfortable, like, we don't like it, but it's comfortable 345 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 2: to get up, sit and rush our traffic, drive to 346 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: a job you hay, talk to coworkers you don't like, 347 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: go to lunch when you're told, work a little over time, 348 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: rush to try to get the kids from school, get 349 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: back home, feed the kids, help with the homework, start 350 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 2: the process over. Right. We don't like it, we don't 351 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: enjoy it, but it's comfortable, right. And freedom requires you 352 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 2: to get uncomfortable, requires you to study something new, It 353 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 2: requires you to meet some new people. It requires you 354 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: to expand your thought process beyond with mom and dad 355 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 2: and grandpa may have or may not have taught you, right, 356 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 2: And it really just it shakes your whole world, right, 357 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 2: because we've all been taught to be a part of 358 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: this system, right, And so if you're going to break 359 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: outside of that, you better get comfortable being uncomfortable because 360 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 2: freedom is right on the other side of that discomfortable. 361 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 6: That is so powerful and it's so wild when you 362 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 6: say it that way, because in your mind you would 363 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 6: think that someone's going to lean into what's lean into freedom, 364 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 6: But when you think about the comfort, it's like, well, 365 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 6: I'm so used to this, Like this is my routine, right, 366 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 6: and I know I know, I know what to expect. 367 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 5: So that is powerful.

We had big food, big drinks, a 583 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 8: great time, and it just represents us trying new things, 584 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 8: which is what we love. 585 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess backstory for me would be this, 586 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: this particular a place where we went to get the 587 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: cooking us from I don't know, some kind of top 588 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 2: rated shill bla blah blah.

At any 635 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 8: moment I could get laid off.

It's a little 656 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 2: over nineteen million dollars worth of real estate. But the 657 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 2: beautiful part about all of that is that you know, 658 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 2: with all of those families that we impact, whether they 659 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 2: are employees of ours or people who rent from us, 660 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 2: all of that runs on the auto pilot.

So, for someone who is looking 678 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 4: to get started in investing in real estate in this 679 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 4: current turbulent market and economy, what would you say to 680 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 4: encourage them to kind of let go of that fear 681 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 4: and dive in. 682 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 8: I think the very first, excuse me, the very first 683 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 8: thing you have to do stop listening to what's going 684 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 8: on in the media. And the reason is so important 685 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 8: is because the media's job is to keep us entertained, 686 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 8: no matter how serious of a publication. So even if 687 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 8: it's CNBC right, they're trying to keep our eyeballs tuned 688 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 8: into what they're talking about. And the reality of what's 689 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 8: happening in our neighborhoods and our communities and things like 690 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 8: that is that people are buying and selling houses every 691 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 8: single day, no matter what's going on the kind of 692 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 8: and so what we want you to do is focus 693 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 8: on finding a good deal, not worrying about what all 694 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 8: of the pundits are talking about, not worrying about whether 695 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 8: or not wearing a recession or not. 696 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 3: And then the flip side to that is, this is something. 697 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 8: That Ed and I talk about a lot that we 698 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 8: don't hear spoken of a lot, is that the most 699 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 8: millionaires are made during recession. 700 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 3: And so if you know that, then. 701 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 8: You can start to try to reverse engineer that and 702 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 8: figure out, well, why is it that people are making 703 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 8: money in a recession where they're telling the rest of 704 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 8: us to save our money, to put your money in 705 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 8: the banks, don't make any financial moves, don't invest. There's 706 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 8: got to be some kind of trickery going on. Here 707 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 8: and we have to figure out what that is. And 708 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 8: so if I'm you know, a multi billionaire and I 709 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 8: it would be in my best interest to tell you, hey, look, y'all, 710 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 8: don't go by so I can get all of these 711 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 8: accounts of saving for me and my family, right, And 712 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 8: that's a lot of what's going on. So we would 713 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 8: encourage you to continue to double down on your education 714 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 8: information so that when the economy is doing like this, 715 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 8: you can capitalize like the wealthy typically. 716 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 5: Oh man, it's getting hot near y'all. 717 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 6: Okay, let's go ahead. I'm just so inspired by y'all. 718 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 6: I think that is so amazing. You said two hundred 719 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 6: and fifteen doors, nineteen million dollars worth of property. That 720 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 6: is just so amazing, especially being a young, you know, 721 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 6: black couple doing this. So I would love to know 722 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 6: if there is someone that wants to leave their nine 723 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 6: to five like the next six months, what are maybe 724 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 6: five tips that they can use today to get them 725 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 6: closer to that goal. 726 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 3: That's a big question. 727 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 2: Number one, get pissed off, right, because I don't believe 728 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 2: any change happens until you had another earlier when you 729 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: asked me to finish the sentence and I was like, 730 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck, right, I have family members, 731 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 2: I had cousins, I had friends, I had everybody saying, well. 732 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 3: What if you can't pay an more, what if you 733 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 3: get this wrong? What if you don't do this right? 734 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 5: Right? 735 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 3: You have to reach this point with it like that. 736 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 3: It's better than this. 737 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 2: Fuck it right, So I'll say, get pissed off about 738 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 2: something and then number two, get your credit together. In 739 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 2: the beginning, I didn't understand the power of credit, but 740 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 2: leverage is one of the key benefits of owning real estate, right. 741 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 2: And we put money into our stock portfolio. When we 742 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 2: put a thousand dollars into it, it gets us a 743 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 2: thousand dollars worth to stop. And if I put a 744 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 2: thousand dollars into real estate, I can control ten twenty 745 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars worth of real estate. 746 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 3: Right, So get your credit in line, and once your 747 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 3: credit is in line, to be able to rock and roll. 748 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 3: And then I would say get educated. Right. 749 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 2: We started off reading books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad, 750 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 2: the cash Flow Quadrants up from Slavery. These are all 751 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 2: great books that will motivate you along the way. Don't 752 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 2: don't go out there and bump your head and do 753 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 2: it the wrong way. Learn from other people's mistakes, and 754 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 2: you'll go a lot further, a lot faster. 755 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 5: Wow. 756 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 4: Okay'll y'all are just dropping like all the gems. 757 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 5: Okay, So. 758 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 4: Asking for a friend, I'm gonna be honest, I'm the friend. 759 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 2: Okay. 760 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 4: For those of us who are single and it's only 761 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 4: their sole income, what would you what would be your 762 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 4: suggestions for taking on real estate? 763 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 3: I think that's a great question. 764 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 8: And as soon as like as I was listening, I 765 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 8: kept thinking of all of the single people that we've 766 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 8: coached that have been successful, And I'll be honest with you, 767 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 8: there's pros and cons to being single and married. Right, 768 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,879 Speaker 8: A lot of times we hear about all of the 769 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 8: pros of being married, but one of the benefits of 770 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 8: being single as a real estate investor is that you 771 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,800 Speaker 8: don't have to try to get your spouse on board 772 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 8: or try to convince another person to co opt this 773 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 8: strategy with you. You can focus on the strategy because 774 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 8: it is. 775 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,040 Speaker 3: It is hard, and so when we coach married. 776 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 8: We tend to there's usually one that's going to be 777 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 8: the most the one that's a little more risk tolerant, 778 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 8: and then the other one's going to kind of be 779 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 8: holding things back, like I. 780 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 3: Don't know, And I'm the one that was like, I 781 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 3: don't know if we should do this. 782 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,959 Speaker 8: I don't know, And so you do spend time trying 783 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 8: to get that person up to speed. So I just 784 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 8: wanted to point that out, like being single, it can 785 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 8: be a benefit as long as you believe that it 786 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 8: can be. And the second thing is is that we 787 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 8: teach people to go and use other people's money, and 788 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 8: that typically means getting a mortgage on a property, and 789 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 8: we only want one person to get on that mortgage 790 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 8: because it allows you to leverage more, even if you're 791 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 8: in a partnership or a marriage or something like that. 792 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 8: So there really isn't much of a distinction. You just 793 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 8: have to make the decision right. And if you need 794 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 8: someone to help you with that, you might meet an 795 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 8: accountability partner or someone to kind of motivate. 796 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 3: You or push you. 797 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 8: You may want to join some meet up to some 798 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 8: really stay networking groups and things like that. But as 799 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 8: far as what it takes, having the credit, having the 800 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,919 Speaker 8: cash to cover your down payment and closing costs, being 801 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 8: able to find a property that can get you at 802 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,959 Speaker 8: least ten thousand dollars of instant equity and positive cash 803 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 8: flow each month. 804 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 3: Those are the things that you would look forward whether 805 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 3: you're single or neared. So does that answer your question? 806 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 5: Yes, it does. 807 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 2: Okay, I'll know one thing out there too, because the 808 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,280 Speaker 2: thing that pops into my head whenever we think about 809 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 2: individuals doing it versus couples doing it, right, a large 810 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,479 Speaker 2: part of it is, Okay, well, what about this down 811 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 2: payment and where is that thing is supposed to come from? Right, 812 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 2: it'd be easy I had two incomes. What I would 813 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,839 Speaker 2: say is that there are tons of programs out there. 814 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 2: Many of them are local to your state, but some 815 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 2: are also also national. Right, So they have programs like 816 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 2: Naka NACA, and they will help you with the down pay, 817 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 2: it will be closing. They will make sure that you 818 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 2: get an interest rate that is below market rate, and 819 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 2: they will really cover a lot of your fees, if 820 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 2: not all of your fees associated with purchasing your first home, 821 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 2: as long as it's your primary residence and you're going 822 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 2: to live in. 823 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 3: Right, And I think I don't I don't don't. 824 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 2: Recall if it's one year or two years that they 825 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 2: want you to live in the property. But nonetheless, that's 826 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 2: that's very minuscule compared to like, I'm getting tens of 827 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 2: thousands of dollars worth of assistance here, and all you're 828 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,800 Speaker 2: telling me is I got to just live in the house. 829 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,439 Speaker 2: I'll do that, right, and then once that time here 830 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 2: is help, I'm going. 831 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 6: To do it very very powerful. I will say, Tatiana, 832 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 6: you talked about being risk adverse, and that's definitely my 833 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 6: husband in this game. So I appreciate you sharing that. 834 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 6: And I'm also going to schedule a consultation with you 835 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 6: all because you sent me the link for that, Tatiana, 836 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 6: So I will be scheduling that. But I do want 837 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 6: to ask you. I saw you all post something on 838 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 6: social media about how someone that has bad credit, possibly 839 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 6: a bankruptcy, maybe a bunch of debt, how they can 840 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 6: leverage business credit to buy rental property. So can you 841 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 6: talk a bit about that, because I know that some 842 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 6: people don't even think this is a possibility based on 843 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 6: their current financial predicament. 844 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:23,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, so you got tons of options, right. 845 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 2: What most people don't realize is that your business credit. 846 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 3: Has nothing to do to personal credits. Right. 847 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 2: You actually can go out and establish things like net 848 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 2: thirty accounts, net sixty ninety accounts. 849 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 3: But it just. 850 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 2: Accounts that you go and buy stuff and you got 851 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 2: thirty sixty or ninety days to pay im back. Right 852 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:48,239 Speaker 2: those he'll establish the business credit and as long as 853 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 2: you're making payment, making the payments on time with their 854 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 2: business credit, in many cases, it will never show up 855 00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 2: on your personal credit, right, so that gives you access 856 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 2: to tons of capital to go out and do deals with. 857 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 2: It doesn't impact it to income ratio, they don't, they don't, 858 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 2: It doesn't show up on the report at all, has 859 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 2: no impact on you. 860 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 3: So that is that is one of the cheap codes. 861 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 2: And I would also say that there are also other 862 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: lenders out there who don't care about your credit. They 863 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 2: don't care about your income, they don't care about whether 864 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 2: you have a job or not. They don't need W 865 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 2: two's pay stubbs any of that stuff. Their concern is 866 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 2: are you able to find properties at a discount? 867 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 4: Right? 868 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 2: And if you go out there and you find a 869 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,280 Speaker 2: good deal and it's got enough equity or enough profit 870 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 2: in it, we'll back it. Right And all we want 871 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 2: you to do is just see the project through, buy it, whatever. 872 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 3: Rehab or whatever needs to have into it. 873 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,919 Speaker 2: They will fund They will fund that deal for you 874 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 2: without having to check your credit score, your work yesterday, 875 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,839 Speaker 2: or any of that stuff. So I would say, we're 876 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 2: really only limited to the information and the knowledge and 877 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 2: the resources. 878 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 3: And I want to add one thing, one caveat to that. 879 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 8: It's important for people to know their options because no 880 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,560 Speaker 8: matter how good your crevit is, no matter how much 881 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 8: money you have, you will likely have to exercise one 882 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 8: and the strategies beyond the traditional lenders that you hear 883 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 8: about in the in the normal ways of life.
