This is an extremely important episode. 40 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 4: So you know, it's been a while since we talked 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 4: about personal credit. Child to him five hundred that was 42 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: that was a dope classic episode. That was a lot 43 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: of exotic stuff and he's he's very good at that 44 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 4: it's high end. It's a lot of anxiety stuff. But 45 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 4: you know, we we had one, uh basic credit episode 46 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 4: and outside that, that's the only credit that we had, 47 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: and that was over a year ago. And so now 48 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: I think it would be a good time to revisit 49 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: the conversation of you know, personal credit, how to purchase 50 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 4: real estate with credit, how to student loan, and you 51 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: know business credit things that is these natures. 52 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 5: Like like an unknown territory. 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't have a financial literacy platform without fully 54 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: addressing credit. And it's like even stock like think about 55 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 4: market mondays. We talk about stocks every single week, and 56 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: it's still not enough for people, like you know what 57 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 4: I'm saying. So credit is something that we just can't 58 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 4: talk about one time or even two times. We got 59 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 4: to talk about it several different times. So we brought the. 60 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 5: Big dog, the big dog himself. 61 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, Jose Rodriguez is also known as the credit Dude. 62 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 4: So if you're not familiar with Jose, he's a very 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: dynamic guy. He actually used to be in the military. 64 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: He's a veteran US Marine veteran, so he has a 65 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: company where he helps people repare their credit also build 66 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: business credit. He was just informing me. They got a 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: lot of stuff that they're rolling out the pipelines thousands 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: of clients nationwide, and he really probably became known to 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 4: a lot of people when he started working with DJ 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 4: Envy and Caesar both Io alumnis. When you know, they 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: were doing the real estate seminars all over the country 72 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 4: and they had MG the mortgage guy, who's a real 73 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: estate who's alumna?

So and they're a e Y alumni. 76 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 4: So everybody on the whole bill, I think this is 77 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 4: this is this is completely this complete decipher there. So 78 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: this is the last person from the movement that actually 79 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 4: has not been on the podcast.

But before we start, 113 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 4: I think it's interesting to get the backstory because on 114 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: everybody has different paths that they follow on life. So 115 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 4: how did you get into credit coming from the military, 116 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 4: Like did you go to the military out of high school? Like, 117 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 4: how did that happen? 118 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I joined when I was seventeen Marines and 119 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: the Marines. Yeah, so I was seventeen. I had no 120 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: idea what I was going to do. You know, I 121 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 2: was a good kid growing up up until maybe like 122 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: sophomore year. You know, my dad, it was a drug addict, 123 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: is a drug addict still, so I didn't really have 124 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: that like father figure at the house saying like, hey, man, 125 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: do your homework, do whatever. You know, my mom is 126 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: my mom, so it's like, you know, for her, it 127 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: was just like for me with her, it was just like, yeah, 128 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: I'm just get away with whatever I can. And you know, 129 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 2: I decided to go to the military. It was like 130 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: I had no choice. Barely graduated high school out of 131 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: like three hundred and like fifty kids. I think I 132 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 2: was like ranked three hundred and ten where part of 133 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 2: Long Island from No, So I'm from Long Island from Bayshore, 134 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: and we moved to Long Branch, New Jersey in ninety 135 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: three to escape my dad, you know what I mean. 136 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: And but dad followed us again, so it was like, 137 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: you know, I'm from Long Branch, I'm in school. I 138 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: don't really know what I'm you know, I didn't know 139 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: what about the time, and I had to make a 140 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: name for myself. And it was like my character, like 141 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: my funniness, you know, giving back. It was always like that. 142 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: I was always a funny dude, and I used that 143 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: to like mask like all the pain I was going 144 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: through and everything I was going through at home because 145 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: nobody really knew that what was going on. And when 146 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: it came out to the military, people were like, Yo, 147 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: how's this dude going to go to the military, Like 148 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: he's always making jokes. So like I went to the 149 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: Marines at seventeen or I joined at seventeen. Two months 150 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: later I went to went to the Marine. So I 151 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: went in there. And what's crazy is before I left 152 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: to the Marines, they offered me like these two credit cards, 153 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like not first premiere, but 154 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 2: it was like these two cars. I had no idea 155 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: what it was because my parents never told me about 156 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 2: credit you know what I mean. I had no idea 157 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: what it was.

I 169 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: had no idea what it was, so it wasn't bad. 170 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: I just just paying them off. I paid them off 171 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: when I came back whatever. But then when I went 172 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: to Japan, you know, I went through my dude station, 173 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: I mean, my training. Then I got stationed in Japan 174 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: and I go to apply for a credit card in Japan, 175 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, you denied. I'm like, what are 176 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: you even talking about? Like credit? Like what are you 177 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: even saying I'm denied? Like you got a bankruptcy on 178 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: your credit report, you got a collection from like a supermarket, 179 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: you got these like a repossession, these credit cards, all 180 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: this stuff. But it was because of me and my 181 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: dad had the same name, you know what I mean. 182 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: But it took me like six years to figure that 183 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: part out. 184 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 4: But how did they? But like obviously I got different 185 00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 4: social Security numbers? So how did that? 186 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: So the crazy thing is is you don't need a 187 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: Social Security number for something to report on your credit. 188 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: So if you know it's pii's like personal identification information, 189 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: So as long as some stuff matches, you're good. Yeah, 190 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 2: it's like nine, it's like nine things, Like it's like 191 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: a box, right, if all right, this checks out, this 192 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: checks out, this checks out, We're going to report. 193 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 5: It's like name, maybe the address, maybe the phone number. 194 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: Right, and being my dad, same name, I'm a junior, 195 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: same address, My birthdays are like six seven days apart, 196 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: so a lot of his stuff jumped on my credit, 197 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So now it's like I'm 198 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 2: spending all my mom. I'm in Japan, I'm eighteen nineteen. 199 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: Every weekend, I'm going out, you know, getting drunk through 200 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: one of the case, going to the clubs. It's like 201 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: I didn't save any money. So it's like now when 202 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: they didn't say you're denied credit to get like a camera, 203 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: I'm like what Like, I'm just like it just blew 204 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 2: my mind that I'm like, how do I have this 205 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 2: stuff on my credit? It's not mine? So I just 206 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: left it alone, and then I started fixing it little 207 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: by little, little by little, just started learning, you know, 208 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: getting evil. I bought credit repair for dummies, you know, 209 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: and I just started looking at stuff, you know, the 210 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: military to keep you act as a computer. So I 211 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 2: was going online like after hours and just researching stuff 212 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: and just figuring out, like what is this credit? What 213 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: is it? Because now I'm like almost twenty still with 214 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: messed up credit, have no idea what it is. So 215 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 2: it took me a long time to get my dad 216 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: stuff off of my credit report. But I had thought 217 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: he stole my identity, you know what I mean, because 218 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 2: put tune two together, like your dad's a drug addict, 219 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? He didn't really do nothing 220 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: for you to say. I'm like, yo, this guy stole 221 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: my identity, you know what I mean? And no, and 222 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: he didn't have to apologize for him after. 223 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 4: That you said it to him, he denied it. 224 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was messed up. He's like, yo, I didn't 225 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: do that. I was like, Noah, I was messed up, bro, 226 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: like you stole Joe's credit sto Steve. And for the 227 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: longest time, I'm thinking that, like my dad, you know 228 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: how they say like, oh, did they put their electric 229 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 2: bill in the kid's name? 230 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 5: My mom, I'm thinking that this is one of them stories. 231 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 2: Nah. So it wasn't that. So it wasn't until I 232 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 2: started going to credit boot can right, so so I'm 233 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: fast forward it. But it wasn't until I figured out 234 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: what it really was that he didn't steal my identity. 235 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: We just had a similar name. So then it took 236 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: me a long time to get that, you know, get 237 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: that taken off. And then next thing, you know is 238 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: my boy from California's like, yo, letbe you fix your credit? 239 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: Can you help me? 240 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 5: Yo? 241 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: I heard you know, I heard you got a bankruptcy off. 242 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: I heard you got this off. Can you help me? 243 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: And that was like two thousand and like four and five, 244 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And that's what started it. 245 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: It was basically because I had a problem with my 246 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: credit that I fixed. It took me like two three years. 247 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 2: But then everybody in the military was like, Yo, how'd 248 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 2: you do it? I'm going for my security clearance. That's 249 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: why they needed it. When you go for military, you know, 250 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: you go for a certain job, you have to have 251 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: top secret secret, you know, security clearance, and if your 252 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: credit is dinged up, you can't get it. 253 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. Credit, I don't think people really know that if 254 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: you think about it. Credit affects people from jobs. Like 255 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 4: you said, credit can affect every aspect of your life 256 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: that you don't really even think about. Obviously the obvious 257 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 4: stuff like you know, having somewhere to live and being 258 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 4: able to drive. But yeah, a lot of a lot 259 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: of employers, depending on what kind of job it is, 260 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 4: you might not get the job if you have a 261 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: bad credit or bankruptcy. Even in the financial space, if 262 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 4: you have bankruptcies and stuff like that that can hurt 263 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 4: you. You might not be able to get a securities license 264 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: if you have, you know, because they look at it 265 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: like if you can't manage your own personal finances, how 266 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 4: you're going to be able to manage somebody else's finances. 267 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 4: So people don't realize and if you think about it, 268 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 4: there's no college course to my knowledge, on credit. It's 269 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 4: definitely not like degrees on credit. So it's like when 270 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 4: somebody's looking to learn about credit, where did they go? 271 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 4: They go to like YouTube or they have to find 272 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 4: an entrepreneur like yourself who learned it on the fly 273 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 4: and just learned it on their own. And that's one 274 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: of the good things with this platform because it's like, 275 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 4: if you think about the credits, one of the most 276 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: important things that we have in society, and not only 277 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 4: are they no, like they're not teaching you it, but 278 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 4: you couldn't even if you wanted to pay a college. 279 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 4: There's no there's no, there's nothing you can do. You 280 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 4: can't go to NYU and say, hey, I want to 281 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 4: major in credit, I want to take an undergrad and credit. 282 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 4: They don't have it. 283 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: And you know why, you're not supposed to no, because 284 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: they don't want you to know it. 285 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 5: That's what I mean, Like they're not you're not supposed 286 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 5: to know. 287 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: Right, Oh, yeah, they don't want you to know it. 288 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, So like that makes sense what you're saying, right, Like, 289 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: obviously you can't get a securities license, and how you're 290 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: going to handle somebody else's finance if you can't held 291 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: your own. But why in the military, why why did 292 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 3: the credit score impact it in a negative way? 293 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: So it's not the good thing is not so much 294 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 2: the credit score. It's the credit data. 295 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 5: Okay. 296 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm going to be talking to you 297 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: guys about too, is the data because honestly, just score 298 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter. It's the data that's so that's 299 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: on there. So like if you're trying to get a 300 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: security clearance for like intelligence, or like if you're trying 301 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: to get promoted unless say you can be a sergeant 302 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 2: major or a captain, or if you're going to be 303 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: working in finances in the military. And just like you said, 304 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 2: if you have a repossession on there, if you have collections, 305 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 2: you have late payments, like you're more likely to like 306 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: do something wrong because you're going to be strapped for cash. So, like, 307 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: if an opportunity presents itself for a contract or for 308 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: you to take a government credit card and you have 309 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: problems with your credit you're more than likely to do 310 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: something if you have something wrong in your credit. 311 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: And that's where so it's like the trustworthiness right it 312 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: actually people that's why, like when they look at your 313 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: credit it's not like you said, it's not really so 314 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: much of your score, Like you could be in the 315 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: financial space and have an eight hundred credit card hypotheticallylet's 316 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 3: saying you had a bankruptcy. 317 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 4: They don't really care about your credit scord is what 318 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: you did. And people look at your credit report as 319 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 4: like I always tell us like a transcript and it's 320 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 4: like you're like, it's like a record. So it's like 321 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 4: even like if you're trying to ensure jurelry, right, if 322 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 4: you have negative reports on your credit, the insurance company 323 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: probably won't issue that because it's like you're kind of 324 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 4: a flaky person. So it's like if you had a 325 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 4: bankruptcy or if you didn't pay your bills, now you 326 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 4: might pull a jury skill.

If you do it once, 333 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 4: you could do it twice exactly exactly. 334 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: Trustworthiness, that's really it's realized, like this is so much 335 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: more that goes into credit than just having a good 336 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: credit score. 337 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 4: Like people was really looking at you like is this 338 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 4: a good dude or not?

That person's 346 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: better than the person with the you know, will have 347 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: a lower score, I mean than the person with the 348 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: higher score. It's all about data, you know what I mean. 349 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: So now with the military, when when you know, as 350 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: I started going in, you know, just like you, he said, 351 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: they don't teach it anywhere.

Lost everything, you know what 406 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: I mean, went to the brig. Wanted to kill myself 407 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 2: when I got out because now I'm like, yo, if 408 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: I can't be a marine, like what else am I 409 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 2: good at?

And it was like I looked at 412 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: it as like pity me. 413 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 4: Institutionalized. A lot of times people think of institutionalized only 414 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: as people that go to jail, but you could be 415 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 4: institutionalized in any institution. That's why it's an institutionalized in 416 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 4: the military is an institution, and like you said, it's 417 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 4: a fraternity. And it's like, you know when you get 418 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 4: I don't know the link which but they're like dishonorably 419 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: just charging whatever. And it's like a lot of times 420 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 4: you'd like the outcast. And it's like when you say 421 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 4: you're used to you become Anything you do for more 422 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 4: than sixty days becomes a habit. And you do something 423 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 4: for years and you get up at five o'clock in 424 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 4: the morning, you run five miles and you eat. You 425 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 4: become a military man or a military woman. And it's like, 426 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 4: how was that for you to not only leave that, 427 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 4: but to leave that in that way? How did that like, 428 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 4: how did you readjust into society. 429 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 5: It took me. 430 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: That was two thousand and seven. It took me twelve years. 431 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: I still have my company, you know, I still had 432 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: my business. But it wasn't until I met Ryan Stuman, 433 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: the hardcore Closer and a good friend of mine, Jimon, 434 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: where they helped me get out of that and they 435 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: showed me that I had more to give than just 436 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 2: being a marine, because even though I had my credit 437 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: or Peair company, you know, I was still fixing people's credit. 438 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: You couldn't get me out of my house. So this 439 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: is twenty ten to twenty fourteen, four year I'm in 440 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: my basement. I'm not leaving the house. So it's like 441 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 2: what snapped me out of it was that I had 442 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: my daughter, I had my wife, and if I didn't 443 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 2: produce what I needed to produce, now my daughter is 444 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 2: not going to be and essentially living the way that 445 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: I did without a dad. You know, what was I 446 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 2: going to do? I wasn't What was I gonna do? 447 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: How was that going to provive with my family? So 448 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: it was like it was a long road where I 449 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: had to like snap out of it. It wasn't easy because 450 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 2: I still battle. I'm still battle PTSD, I still battle depression, 451 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: I still battle all that. But now I just know 452 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: how to cope with it. Now I'll just how to 453 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: deal with it. So it's like now when I started 454 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: my company. Now you know I'm helping people with their credit. 455 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: Now I feel like I have a purpose. And it 456 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: took but it still took me a long time to 457 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 2: realize that like what I do for one person, I 458 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: can probably do that for one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, 459 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: because they don't teach it in high school. Unfortunately, they 460 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: don't teach it in college. They don't teach you this 461 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: stuff where it's like, why am I eighteen nineteen in 462 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: Japan just figuring out what credit is? And I see 463 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: that you guys are now starting even educating credit in 464 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 2: the elements tree schools and younger and people need that, 465 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And it was a very 466 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: long road man of where I am today to where 467 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: I used to be, because I shouldn't be here right now. 468 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: I literally shouldn't be here, but I am. And I 469 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: just love the fact that I'm now able to share 470 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: my story and help people with more than just credit 471 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: but everything else. 472 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so twenty fourteen in the house, obviously you said 473 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 3: you're in the basement. I'm imagining the depression is setting. 474 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 3: There is there a moment that changes the trajectory of like, 475 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 3: you know what, Obviously I have my daughter, I got 476 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 3: to get more clients. 477 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 5: What gets you out of the basement? 478 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: Now, Well, what got me out was the cops got 479 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 2: called on me and I have broke like a vase 480 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: over my head and this is like the stuff I 481 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: dealt with, like with the PTSD and what the cops 482 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: said was you could either go to jail or go 483 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 2: to the hospital. And it was like a pattern, like 484 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: it was a pattern, like a right, I got locked 485 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 2: up and roady, I went to jail, my going back, 486 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 2: And it was that click that I was like, wait 487 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 2: a minute.

You know what I mean? 490 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: So it was like it was that moment where I 491 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: went to the hospital and I literally got everything taken 492 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 2: away from me again, and I kind of like had 493 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 2: to reset in like twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen to where 494 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 2: it was like the luckily the guy that arrested me 495 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 2: or that took me to the hospital, he was military, 496 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: and he was like, yo, man, like what are you doing? 497 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 2: Like what are you doing? You know what I mean? 498 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: You have credit, you have this knowledge, you have this 499 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: you know because he knew the family, but he didn't 500 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: know of me. And it wasn't until that that I 501 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: realized that, like, yo, man, your purpose is greater than 502 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 2: what you think, you know what I mean. And that's 503 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 2: really what snapped me out of it. Because you know, 504 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 2: a lot of people not only do they teach you 505 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 2: about credit and business company. They don't take you how 506 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: to deal with these problems, you know, the VA doesn't, 507 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: the DA just wants to give you pills. But then also, 508 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 2: like family, they don't want to talk about your health. 509 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: They don't want to talk about what you've been through. 510 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: So it was like I really had no escape. I 511 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 2: had no way to escape what I was going through. 512 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 2: And that was when Jamon and Ryan Steuman helped me 513 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: out through. 514 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 4: That, you know, I mean, honorable man, I'm glad we 515 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 4: tell that story because you know, there's millions of people 516 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 4: that suffer from all kinds of you know, anxiety issues 517 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 4: and like you said, uh, post traumatic stress syndrome and depression, 518 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 4: and a lot of times they feel like they're alone. 519 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 4: So whenever they can hear somebody you know, speak openly 520 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 4: about it, speak candidly about it, they realize, hopefully they 521 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 4: can realize that they're not alone and that there's better 522 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 4: solutions than you know, going down the dark path. And 523 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 4: you know, like anything, we all have battles that we face. 524 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 4: But I commend you for sharing that. I appreciate that, 525 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: of course. So all right, so now let's get into it. 526 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 4: Let's get into what you are doing today helping thousands 527 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 4: millions of people with credit. So I got questions. I'm 528 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 4: sure Troy got questions. So I want to start with 529 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 4: the first question. Were talking off camera as far as 530 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 4: real estate. You was talking about like buying houses and credit, 531 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 4: some mistakes that people might make. Can you go into 532 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 4: that a little bit? Yeah? 533 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: So, so what a lot of people want to learn 534 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: and they and they ask a lot is like how 535 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,239 Speaker 2: can I get into real estate without any money? Like 536 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: I want to flip houses? Like I see these people 537 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: making money, and I know, I know the previous guy 538 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 2: you had out in here, you know, use one of 539 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: his student loans to get to get the capital or 540 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: to get the starting finances to do his thing. Do 541 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So it's like, well, what 542 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: if you don't have a student loan? What if you 543 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: don't have that? So one of the things that I 544 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: tell people is use your credit. Use your credit to 545 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: where if you don't have the money to put money down, 546 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: get your credit to a point that first the data right, 547 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 2: fix your credit right, get everything you know, get on time, 548 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: keep your balances low, because if you're going to start 549 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: handling real estate, it's going to be expensive with that 550 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, there's gonna be expensive when 551 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: it comes to real estate. So it's like if you 552 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 2: just think that, let me just get this credit card 553 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: and that's it. So it's like one of the things 554 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: that I tell people is is build your credit up 555 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: to a way where you get it over seven hundred, 556 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: but you get at least like twenty to thirty thousand 557 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: dollars in credit cards on your personal credit. Okay, then 558 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: what you do is use that as leverage to now 559 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: when you have an LLC and you have a business, 560 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: to get approved for business credit cards, so that way 561 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: you can get those business credit cards, pull money from 562 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 2: those business credit cards, whether it's Chase, because you know, 563 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: sometimes with your business credit card, you can give you 564 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 2: an option to get a check and to pull money 565 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: out of So now you can use that as your 566 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: down payment for your hard money loan or your faha, 567 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So now the funds are 568 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: sourced is coming from a credit card. You take that 569 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: credit card, you pull money out of it, You put 570 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: that as a down payment for your hard money or whatever, 571 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: you know, whatever is he trying to do. And then 572 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: now once you start filipping or you know, you refinance, 573 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 2: you take that and just play the credit card off again, 574 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 2: and you just do it again. It's kind of like 575 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: the same way where you know, he was taking a 576 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: student loan out and it's the same thing, but now 577 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 2: you're using your credit where you can literally come out 578 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: of pocket zero money. Only expense you might have is 579 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: maybe fixing your credit and coming up with the credit 580 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: builder cards and then the annual fees for those credit 581 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 2: cards that you're getting for the business credit. 582 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: All right, So here's the thing now, right, So if 583 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 3: I'm trying to get my own personal line up to 584 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: thirty thousand, am I starting with one or two cards? 585 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 3: Or am I trying to get as many cars as 586 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: possible to get to thirty yep? One, How is that 587 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 3: going to affect my credit? If I have multiple inquiries? 588 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 3: If I'm getting multiple cards? 589 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: Great question? 590 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 5: What what's the method I got to use? Yep? 591 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: So you're like, well, which cards do I get? Which 592 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: them do I apply for a hard inquiry? That's one 593 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: of the things that people always ask. So there's a 594 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 2: couple of credit cards that we tell people to get. 595 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: You have a seven hundred credit score with no credit cards, 596 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: nobody's giving you a five thousand dollars credit card. Why 597 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 2: because your data on your credit report doesn't suffice that 598 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 2: strong enough. It's not strong enough. So you might have 599 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 2: a seven to twenty credit score, but if all you 600 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: have is a three hundred dollars Capital one card, you're 601 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: not going to get a ten thousand dollars chase, a 602 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars Amex or even an Amex Platinum because 603 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 2: your credit card or your credit report doesn't suffice that. 604 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 2: What do you think people usually do to do that? Like, 605 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 2: what do they usually buy to get that? Those limits, 606 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: the trade lines, that's why people get trade lines. Why 607 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: do you think their credit score goes up the way 608 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 2: it does is because the limits the age. Yes, like 609 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: just like you said, your mom adage is authorized US. 610 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 2: You have eighteen nineteen eighty five, so you get the 611 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: limit and you get the age. 612 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, so your history is my history is like thirty 613 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 5: three years. 614 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 2: Right, But you can do that with just like you 615 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 2: did with a family member, you could do with a 616 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: family member too. You don't have to buy it, you 617 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: don't have to get you don't have to buy authorized 618 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,959 Speaker 2: use a tradeline from someone that you don't know that. 619 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: So now when that bill comes in, you pay that 620 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: balance off in full. Now, what's that teaching you that 621 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 2: when a balance comes in, you pay it in full? 622 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: And it's teaching you to not carry a balance? Because 623 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 2: the thing is the magic number to maximize your credit score, 624 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 2: to have your balances is one percent. So if you 625 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 2: have one hundred a thousand dollars credit card, you want 626 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 2: to have one percent on there at all times. But 627 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: you're not at that stage yet. 628 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 4: You're not at that stage all right, So you always 629 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 4: got to have some level of something on your credit. 630 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 2: It depends if you're trying to maximize your credit Like 631 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: my my wife, I don't like her having that me 632 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: I have a little bit, But like it depends on 633 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: your situation. Like if you're really trying to master the 634 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 2: credit card game, one percent is the trick. So in 635 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: that category, there's there's there's thirty, there's one hundred and 636 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 2: sixty five points that you get from it right from 637 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: that pie, right and people say like, oh, thirty ten percent. 638 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: Whatever the case is. Now, if you're really trying to 639 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 2: maximize your credit score, leave it at one percent at 640 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 2: all times, then you'll get the full value. But with 641 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 2: credit building, we don't want clients to build to leave 642 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 2: a balance on that pay it all. 643 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 5: I have learned that lesson. 644 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 3: Like we told this story before where my mom made 645 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: me an authorized user for the American Express. So my 646 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 3: history goes back to nineteen eighty five, although I was 647 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: born in nineteen eighty two, and so when I would 648 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 3: use it, she'd be like, yo, I need the full payment. 649 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: I'm like, they don't take partial payments. He was like, no, 650 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: American Express. So my whole life like up until I 651 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 3: was like twenty five, I was like, wait, I know 652 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 3: they take partial payments. She was like, no, you got 653 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 3: pay in the full every time. So it created that 654 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 3: mindset of like, yo, you use. 655 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 4: Five hundred pay well, depending on what type of AMEX 656 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 4: it is, they don't take partial. Like you have to 657 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 4: pay the well, isn't I said? 658 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 3: So, Like at twenty five, I started looking at the samement, 659 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 3: so I'm like, Mom, she was like she was trying 660 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: to teach me, like yo, just paying the full, pay 661 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 3: in the full, But she was really thinking like yo, 662 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 3: I want to keep my credit good because I'm letting 663 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 3: you use it right valuable lesson. 664 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. So now if you're telling 665 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: a client now here's the thing. If you give somebody 666 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 2: a two hundreds for your credit card, they can use anywhere, 667 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 2: and they're starting building credit. What they're gonna do. They're 668 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: gonna use it anywhere, they're gonna max it out, and 669 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: they're gonna be like, oh, my credit score is low. 670 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: Then they can't get ahead. Now they have late payments, 671 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: they're creditable, and then it's just it creates a cycle 672 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 2: again because they were like, yo, man, I'm stuck at 673 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 2: seven hundred. I have nothing negative, I pay everything off 674 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: in full. I'm like, well, what's your highest balance or 675 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: your highest credit limit. 676 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 4: They're like five hundred. 677 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 2: All that is a capital one and then ad max 678 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: with a thousand on it. I'm like, that's why, because 679 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: your limits don't suffice that higher credit score the data 680 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: on there. 681 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 3: And it actually helps because a lot of times, and 682 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 3: this happens, right, you might call the credit card that 683 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 3: you have to try to get the increase and they 684 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 3: may say no, no, no, we're good. 685 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: You're good. We've given you what your credit is capable 686 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: of doing. So now you ask me the inquisse The 687 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 2: people always worried about increase. So now the thing is, 688 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 2: if you're trying to get an Amex you have a 689 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: seven hundred, Yeah you'll get approved, but why not try 690 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 2: to maximize your approval? If you're trying to get a 691 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 2: Chase Sapphire or Chase, Inc. Why not maximize your approval 692 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: to get the full twenty to thirty five thousand dollars 693 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 2: off the rint versus getting a two thousand dollars credit card. 694 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 5: I'm having the build it all the way up. 695 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 2: That's the difference. So it's like if you get to Chase. 696 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: If you get to Chase credit card with a seve 697 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: hundred credit score and only all you have is a 698 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 2: thousand dollars limit and they give you ten grand, can 699 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 2: you really invest in real estate with that? You really 700 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 2: can't the way you want to, you know what I mean. 701 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: So if you're trying to now invest in real estate, 702 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 2: open up a business, do whatever you gotta do, you're 703 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 2: just taking that, sitting it on there, leaving it, and 704 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 2: that's it. 705 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 4: So you do that too, because a large part of 706 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 4: your credit score is to determined doing how much credit 707 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 4: you have available to you. Correct And you said that 708 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 4: kind of point in perspective, I guess I'm a little 709 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 4: jad because I had credit for all long time, so 710 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 4: I have a higher credit. I got a bunch of 711 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 4: credit cards, but you're saying that average person doesn't even 712 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 4: have five thousand dollars credit. So then this goes into 713 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 4: the business play, right, because when you were saying we're 714 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 4: gonna talk about business credit, you were saying that business 715 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 4: credit you get a lot more credit off the rip 716 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 4: than you will with personal credit. Correct, And that's true too, 717 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 4: because it's like I have an AMX personal credit card 718 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 4: and then I have an AMX business card that we 719 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 4: just opened, and the personal credit I had it for 720 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 4: years and I always pay on time, perfect history. I 721 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 4: think my limit is like fifteen thousand for that MX card, 722 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 4: the business card out the jump, and this is the 723 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 4: first business card that we've ever had AMX, even though 724 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 4: technically you said it's not fully but we'll explain that. 725 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 4: But it's the first business card that we've had AMX, 726 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 4: and out the gate it was forty five thousand dollar limit. 727 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 4: So that when you when you said that, like that 728 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: resonated with me because that was like the exact thing, 729 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 4: like you know what I mean, Like I don't have 730 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 4: one credit card personal side that has forty five thousand 731 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 4: dollar limits, right, and I have excellent credit. I have 732 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 4: a eight hundred and one credit score. But we went 733 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 4: to the business side, and right out the jump it 734 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 4: was and it was me using my personal CREDITEP. So 735 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 4: it's like they went and give me that on the 736 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 4: personal side, but they gave me almost three times without 737 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 4: any hassle on the business side. So all right, and 738 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 4: you're saying on the business side, once you established that, 739 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 4: now it's like I have forty five thousand, you can 740 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 4: do some damage and then you can use that to 741 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 4: buy real estate. 742 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 2: Correct, YEP. It's all like you're using one thing to 743 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: get this to get that, which is the end goal. 744 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 2: You don't need these credit cards. You don't need the 745 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 2: business credit card. You need the cash that you're getting 746 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: from the business credit cards that you can do what 747 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: you got to do, right, you know what I mean. 748 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 3: So I'm thinking in my mind, right, we got a 749 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 3: lot of people and it's like, as soon as you 750 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 3: get to college, you know, in the reason they sent 751 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 3: you those right before you went off, but in college 752 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 3: they're giving you credit cards right off the rip. Is 753 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 3: this something that young entrepreneurs could actually take advantage of? 754 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: No, I was say, as soon as you're eighteen. If 755 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 2: to let you know, I'm trying to change the way 756 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: that people think of a credit and start applying for credit. 757 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: So if parents start adding their kids at sixteen, when 758 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: they're eighteen, they already have a seven fifty eight hundred. 759 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, talk about that. You know, I saw that on Instagram. 760 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 4: You're just like sixteen. Can you explain that? 761 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 5: Yep? 762 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 2: So, because it kind of goes in hand with your question. 763 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: So it's like, if you have kids that are under 764 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,479 Speaker 2: eighteen and at least sixteen, you can add them to 765 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: your credit card, just like how I think we say 766 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: your grandmother, right, your mom. Your mom added you to 767 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: your card and you got all that history. But if 768 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: she would have added you at sixteen, when you turned eighteen, 769 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 2: now you have at least two years of an active 770 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 2: credit report. Because this is the thing. Your credit report 771 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: doesn't exist until something happens on there your credit report. 772 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: You're eight years old, you don't have a credit report, 773 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So if you're sixteen and 774 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 2: your parents add your mom and dad each adds you 775 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: to a credit card, that should be the birthday. Give hey, 776 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: let me add you to a credit card. Give it 777 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: to you start learning how to use it. You know 778 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 2: what I mean. Now when you become eighteen, now you 779 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 2: can get your own American Express, your own thing. Now 780 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 2: you don't need these and what else? Don't you need 781 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: trade lines? Because what a lot of people the reason 782 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 2: once again, I'm going to talk about tradelines a lot. 783 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 2: You know what I mean, because people use trade lines 784 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 2: because they want the history and the limits. So start 785 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 2: at a younger age. So now when you're eighteen, you 786 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: already know not only those trade lines. I already got 787 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 2: my own credit cards. And now you're just starting it 788 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: to where when you're in college, Now your parents are 789 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 2: going to open up an LLC for you, open up 790 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 2: this do whatever, and now you can do use your 791 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 2: own credit. You don't have to have a co signer 792 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: for a car, for an apartment, for anything. And now 793 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 2: we're changing the trajectory of when people apply, but how 794 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 2: they apply and more importantly, why they apply. 795 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 3: Their parents be responsible, that's what we want to be 796 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 3: responsible with your credit because like you said, this could 797 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 3: definitely help your children. 798 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:53,959 Speaker 5: Yep. 799 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 4: So let me ask you this, all right, so business credit, 800 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 4: let's get into this. What are the I know I 801 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 4: wrote down some notes so you you have to have 802 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,439 Speaker 4: a legit business obviously tax id. So explain it different. 803 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 4: Can you explain it difference between business credit personal credit? 804 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 4: And then I guess there's a hybrid situation like you said, 805 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 4: amx is technically is not full business credit because they 806 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 4: still use your personal guarantee. So what is the difference 807 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 4: between like the AMC situation where you still got to 808 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 4: have a personal guarantee and just full fledged business credit. 809 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 2: Yep, So you know your personal credit, you use your 810 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 2: social right sociecurity number. When you start a business, you 811 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 2: get you know, whether it's an LLC, a C, corp escort, 812 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 2: whatever the case is. You start a business and you 813 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 2: get your tax id. Now you're actually a business. And 814 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 2: I want people to understand that because a lot of 815 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 2: people think when they have a sober partnership but they 816 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 2: have a business, they really don't because you're still using 817 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 2: your social So you have to get a tax id 818 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 2: and once you start building business credit, depending on what 819 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 2: you're going for, you're gonna have to use your personal credit. Right, 820 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: So there's a difference between co signing and personal guarantee, 821 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 2: which you guys spoke about before. You know, if you're 822 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 2: personal guaranteeing something, you're using that to kind of like 823 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 2: get approved for it. Right, So, with a personal guarantee 824 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 2: and an American Express credit card, for instance, unless you're 825 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 2: like a major corporation like Facebook, Walmart, whatever the case is, 826 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 2: you're not getting American Express without using your social even 827 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 2: though you have your tax id too. Now you're using 828 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 2: your personal credit as leverage to ultimately get that American 829 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 2: Express to Chase and everything else. So the reason why 830 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 2: I say it's not true business credit, even though it 831 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 2: does report to experience business, is that you still got 832 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 2: to use your personal credit for it, which is not bad. 833 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,439 Speaker 2: But in the event that you default, like you don't 834 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,959 Speaker 2: pay it and it gets charged off, now it gets 835 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 2: reported to your personal credit. 836 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 5: If you fault on the business card, it goes back 837 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 5: to Yeah. 838 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 2: So if you have an American Express and you don't 839 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 2: pay it first on the amount of time and it 840 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: gets charged off, now that business credit card is not 841 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 2: going to show up as a late payment. It's going 842 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 2: to go straight to cheof status. And now you're going 843 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 2: to go from having a seven hundred twenty credit score 844 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 2: to now having a twenty thirty thousand dollars charge off 845 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 2: American Express credit card from the business and to get 846 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: that off, you gotta you know, you gotta pay it, 847 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You don't want to evade 848 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 2: that debt because now it's tied to your business. You 849 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: know what I mean. To get a true business credit 850 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 2: card or anything with business credit is by not having 851 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: to use your social and just by using your tax 852 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 2: id and maybe you're done in Bradstreet, which I know 853 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 2: we're going to we're gonna cover, you know what I mean. 854 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 2: So that's true business credit is not using your your 855 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 2: Social Security number, your date of birth, your name, anything, 856 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 2: and all you're using is got credit, your tax ID, 857 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 2: your EI in I mean, your your address, business you know, 858 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 2: business email, business phone number, and that's it, you know 859 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 2: what I mean. That's the true business credit. But when 860 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 2: American Expressed would chase you know, those credit cards, you're 861 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 2: still gonna have to use it, even though it's still 862 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 2: going to report to your business credit. 863 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,760 Speaker 5: Gotcha?

That's what NAB dot com does, 999 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 2: and nod dot com has a lot of educational tools 1000 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 2: on there. It talks about business credit lines of credit 1001 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 2: funding and it educates and we tell all of our 1002 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 2: clients they have to enroll in that dot com when 1003 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 2: they come in our business credit program because it's a 1004 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 2: great tool to have to help us educate our clients 1005 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 2: on business credit. 1006 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,760 Speaker 3: So we had some ways to increase the credit limit 1007 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,879 Speaker 3: for personal is there a ways also to increase our business. 1008 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 2: Limit, same way, same exact thing, the same way. And 1009 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,359 Speaker 2: if you have higher limits on the personal side, when 1010 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 2: you come in, you're going to start off at the 1011 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 2: forty five thousand, the thirty thousands. So now when you're 1012 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 2: getting the limit increased six to eight months later, which 1013 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 2: we recommend, now you're getting anywhere to now they're gonna say, 1014 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 2: all right, miss the customer, we're going to put you 1015 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 2: at fifty thousand, sixty thousand, one hundred thousand. So imagine 1016 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,720 Speaker 2: you starting off with three credit cards at forty five thousand. 1017 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 2: In three years, each of those credit cards should be 1018 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 2: sixty to eighty you know what I mean? And then 1019 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 2: now you just you just compounding and you're just multiplying 1020 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 2: your limits. 1021 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 5: So correct me if I'm wrong. 1022 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 3: If we let's say we have a business credit card, 1023 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 3: the more we spend, the more we pay off, can 1024 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 3: we then before the six eight months ask for the increase? 1025 00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 5: So should we just wait? 1026 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 2: If it's a new If it's a new credit card, 1027 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 2: that's usually like the average time frame. That's why I 1028 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 2: tell people to wait six to eight months, use it 1029 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 2: paid off, use it paid off, use it paid off, 1030 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 2: and then you'll get used to every six to eight 1031 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 2: months acting for limiting increase. So that way you never 1032 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,359 Speaker 2: stay at that fifteen forty five thousand. You're growing because 1033 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 2: what as your business grows, so does your expenses. So 1034 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 2: eventually a forty five thousand dollar credit card might not 1035 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 2: be enough. Eventually three forty five thousand dollars credit cards 1036 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 2: might not be able to know what I need three 1037 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,240 Speaker 2: hundred thousand. And that's how you keep building. You keep building, 1038 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 2: you keep building, and keep getting credit limited creases. 1039 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 4: So for the business, credit is equal. Facts done in 1040 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 4: Bradstreet and experience, not TransUnion. Huh TransUnion is only for 1041 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 4: personal credit personal credit, correct, So, and it's the same 1042 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 4: theory though where they take those three score it's like 1043 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 4: an aggregate of those three scores, just like on the 1044 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 4: personal side. 1045 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 2: Great question. No, so it depends on and you notice 1046 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 2: a lot of the times I'm replying to you, I'm 1047 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 2: saying it depends because it really does depend on assists situation. 1048 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 2: Because if you're applying for like a vehicle, they might 1049 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 2: only check Echofacts, they might only check experience. You know, 1050 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 2: you can get a net thirty account just by checking 1051 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 2: done in Brasstreet, you know what I mean. So the 1052 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 2: great thing that I always tell people is when you're 1053 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 2: applying for business credit, if we don't already know who 1054 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 2: you're applying with, ask them say, hey, I see you 1055 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,919 Speaker 2: have a business application on your website. Who do you check? 1056 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 2: What business credit reporting service do you have? Or what 1057 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 2: business credit credit report do you check when you're approving me, 1058 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 2: Because now they might just say, we check experience, we 1059 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,359 Speaker 2: check done in brass we check eqofacts. And that's good 1060 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 2: to know because it's very rare that when you apply 1061 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,359 Speaker 2: for a business credit that they check all three. It's very, 1062 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 2: very very rare. Equofax is the least used. Done in 1063 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 2: brass is obviously the most inexperienced A second, you know 1064 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 2: what I mean. So, but this is the thing. If 1065 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 2: you don't have your experience in order or you're done 1066 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 2: in brass three set up, you can't get it. And 1067 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 2: then you're gonna wonder why why did I get the 1068 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 2: client for this account? It's because you don't have dune 1069 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 2: and brass here, and they're not gonna tell you why 1070 00:47:58,920 --> 00:47:59,399 Speaker 2: you would deny. 1071 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:00,840 Speaker 5: This is all place like. All you have to do 1072 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 5: is get on the phone call and ask it. 1073 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 4: So you gotta do this. 1074 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,320 Speaker 5: Guy's a change. 1075 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 4: What's NET thirty? 1076 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 2: So a NET thirty account is pretty much how your 1077 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,319 Speaker 2: your mom was teaching you about the American Express. So 1078 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 2: you already had that mindset and that already that mentality 1079 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 2: that when something comes in, it has to be paid 1080 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,760 Speaker 2: within thirty days. So that way is no laid payment, 1081 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,160 Speaker 2: and that's what net thirty is. And NET thirty means 1082 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 2: that when you get your bill, it has to be 1083 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 2: paid within thirty days. Sometimes they'll give you a NET 1084 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 2: ten to start off, or NET twenty, but anything with 1085 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 2: net in front of it just means that the terms 1086 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 2: that you have of when your credit card has to 1087 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 2: be paid off or that account that you apply for. 1088 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,800 Speaker 2: Sometimes they'll give you NET sixty, you know net thirty, 1089 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 2: But net thirty means if I you know you line 1090 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 2: dot com, we love them. You can buy products, shipping stuff, 1091 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,359 Speaker 2: whatever the case is. And when you get something from them, 1092 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 2: you have thirty days to pay it off. And when 1093 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 2: you pay it off, now they're going to report your 1094 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 2: payment is on time. Once you go that thirty days. 1095 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 2: It's like the same thing with a credit card, they're 1096 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 2: going to report you thirty one I mean in personal 1097 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,320 Speaker 2: credit thirty one days pass, do thirty two days past 1098 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 2: and that's it. 1099 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 5: So it becomes a negative item. 1100 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 4: Correct. 1101 00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 3: So like on the personal side and the ben's side, 1102 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 3: if we get negative items, obviously you got to pay it. 1103 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 3: But are there ways to or maneuver as we can 1104 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 3: do to help clean it or you? 1105 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's talk about that. 1106 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,320 Speaker 2: So Dune in Bradstreet, right when you when you register 1107 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 2: for your DMB number or your Dune's number, I mean 1108 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 2: you get access to their website.

And I'm telling you that easy 1117 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,719 Speaker 2: is because in credit repair, like in the personal credit side, 1118 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 2: let me break it down. You have the Fair Credit 1119 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 2: Reporting Act, right, you have the Fair Credit Billing Act, 1120 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 2: the Truth in Lending Act, the Credit Repair Organizations that 1121 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 2: you have all these things that govern the credit repair right. 1122 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 2: And business credit you don't have that. So it's like 1123 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,280 Speaker 2: when you want to dispute something on your business credit report, 1124 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 2: it's easy. But that's also why when you get declined 1125 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 2: for business credit, they don't also tell you it's not regulated. Notice, 1126 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 2: when you apply for a personal credit card, they say 1127 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 2: you're declined because your credit score is seven. You know, 1128 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 2: six eighty, you have negative items, you have too many inquiries, 1129 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 2: high balances. They tell you why you would decline business credit, 1130 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 2: don't tell you that. But you could also use that 1131 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 2: to your advantage.

It takes 1149 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 2: five minutes to do it. 1150 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean learn something new. 1151 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 4: So you were saying you shouldn't use your home address 1152 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 4: or your or your personal phone number, Nope, why not? 1153 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 2: So if you're a true business, right, think about it? 1154 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 2: Do you want to expose your personal information? If you're 1155 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 2: if you're setting up a business and you're you know 1156 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 2: you're you're usually set up a business, so you don't 1157 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 2: have to use your social your data birth So it's like, 1158 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 2: why are you not putting your home address on there? 1159 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 2: What you want to do is you want to get 1160 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 2: like a virtual office. Have you guys ever heard of Regis? Yeah, 1161 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 2: I was gonna say Regis Regius fifty bucks a month. 1162 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 2: Now if like me, when I created my LLC, I 1163 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 2: had my home address on there. Once I got my 1164 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 2: virtual office, I just changed the address on the state 1165 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 2: website and with the EI N and that's it. The 1166 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,720 Speaker 2: thing is, I used to have clients open my house 1167 00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 2: because it's public record. And when you put your web 1168 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 2: side up and we put every thing up. If you 1169 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 2: don't have a virtual office or a business office, you're 1170 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,520 Speaker 2: using your personal address for everything, and you don't want 1171 00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 2: business clients showing up to your house. You also don't 1172 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 2: want your personal address out there. What if you start 1173 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 2: investing in your real estate and now you build it 1174 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,320 Speaker 2: up to a five ten dollars portfolio and your personal 1175 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 2: dress is all out there. You don't want that, you 1176 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,360 Speaker 2: know what I mean? So keep everything separate. Use a 1177 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 2: virtual office, and I guess it's very cheap. We use 1178 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 2: one because I work from home. Fifty dollars a month 1179 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 2: and that's it. 1180 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 5: You also said, uh, register at four to one one. 1181 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:31,439 Speaker 4: Yep. 1182 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 5: I was like, huh, last time irried about that was 1183 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 5: Mary Jack. Yep, you telling me what? 1184 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,839 Speaker 2: So four one one is? You know, like the White 1185 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 2: Pages online where they pretty much house businesses in their 1186 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 2: list businesses. You could list yourself for free, and I 1187 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 2: actually think the website is called list Yourself for Free 1188 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 2: dot com or just Google four one one listing. But 1189 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,839 Speaker 2: you need a business number for that. Okay, you need 1190 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,719 Speaker 2: a business owner. You can't use your cell phone for that. 1191 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 5: Is that the ring Central thing? 1192 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 2: Yep? We tell people use ring Central, you know, instead 1193 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 2: of using yourself phone and getting another Sprint account on 1194 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 2: another Verizon and having two phones, all you got to 1195 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,719 Speaker 2: do is get ring Central for your business and it 1196 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 2: gets registered like a true business number. So the biggest 1197 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 2: thing about business credit is building credibility. Right, So imagine 1198 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 2: if you're a pizzeria and you have your home address 1199 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 2: and a cell phone as the main number, are you 1200 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 2: going to have credibility there if somebody can lend you 1201 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 2: money to like, oh, this guylands a pizzeria, but you 1202 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 2: know what I mean. So this think of the same 1203 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,439 Speaker 2: thing with you trying to get an American Express credit card. 1204 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 2: If you're an American Express and somebody has their home 1205 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,240 Speaker 2: address for everything and their personal sale, their personal email, 1206 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 2: it's all about credibility. They're like, I don't want to 1207 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 2: take a risk. I don't care if they have an 1208 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 2: eight hundred credit score they're using their house for it, 1209 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 2: then they're not a legit business. And I have a 1210 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 2: cousin that works at Chase and she says, all the 1211 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,440 Speaker 2: time people apply with their house and with a PO box, 1212 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 2: and that gets them decline off the rip because it's 1213 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 2: a risk. It's a risk factor. So don't use a 1214 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,880 Speaker 2: home address, don't use a PO box, don't use a 1215 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 2: USPS PO box. Use a home a business addressed, and 1216 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 2: a business phone number like Ring Central, Vondage. Don't use 1217 00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,840 Speaker 2: Google Voice, you know what I mean. Because these companies 1218 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,879 Speaker 2: catch on to it. They know if it's a true 1219 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 2: business number or not. 1220 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 4: You know what I mean. 1221 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 2: And that's why you want to use it, Because it's 1222 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 2: really just building credibility. So now when that company looks 1223 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 2: up your business, they see you're on four O one, 1224 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 2: you have done a Bradstreet. You have this. You look 1225 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 2: like a real business. Doesn't matter. You might have zero 1226 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 2: thousand revenue, but when they google you, you look like a 1227 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:26,280 Speaker 2: big corporation. 1228 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 5: You look the part. 1229 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 2: Right. 1230 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 4: We talked about a miss business shops leasing a car 1231 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,560 Speaker 4: or buying a car in your company name, but a 1232 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 4: lot of people don't know you can actually do the 1233 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 4: same thing with like housing, like an apartment, You can 1234 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 4: get an apartment in a company name too. 1235 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:39,839 Speaker 2: Yep. 1236 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 4: And it's the same like a formal application, right, correct 1237 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,799 Speaker 4: me if I'm wrong, But you fill out your you're 1238 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 4: done in Bradstreet number, you're done's number, and it's just 1239 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 4: like the say, like you can put it in the 1240 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 4: company name. 1241 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 2: Right, So when you put in the company name, a 1242 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 2: lot of the times depending on what you're doing, like 1243 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 2: if you're buying and holding the obviously the and he's 1244 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 2: gonna do that. But like if you're doing it to 1245 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,680 Speaker 2: like do a rental property, you just kind of like 1246 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,359 Speaker 2: replicate the process. You can put it in the business name. 1247 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 2: And now when when it comes to you having a property, 1248 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,000 Speaker 2: it's not on your personal credit, and that's the trick. 1249 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 2: Like I have a friend of mine he's topped out. 1250 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,040 Speaker 2: He has ten houses on his personal credit. Nobody will 1251 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 2: touch them because he put all the houses in his 1252 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 2: personal credit. Instead, he should have opened up an LLC 1253 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 2: for each one one to three Main Street, you know, 1254 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 2: two forty five Main Street and put those business though 1255 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:35,360 Speaker 2: houses on there through the LLC instead of putting it 1256 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 2: on his personal credit. 1257 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 4: You think you should have a put you should have 1258 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 4: a buy a house and personal name, even if it's 1259 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 4: your personal house, because some people say you should never 1260 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:42,360 Speaker 4: buy a house in personally. 1261 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 5: I know. 1262 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 2: I wish I would have known that trick a long 1263 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 2: time ago, and that's what I'm in the process of 1264 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 2: doing too. I guess it just depends, like if you 1265 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 2: don't ever plan on it. Some people just like don't 1266 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 2: want to be a real estate investors.

But if you're 1270 00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 2: really trying to get into the real estate game, then no, 1271 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 2: you don't have to.

So, if you are looking to 1300 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 2: better your credit by having student loans in default because 1301 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 2: you had too many student loans at one time and 1302 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 2: now you just couldn't keep up with the payments, student 1303 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 2: loans dot gov allows you to refinance and consolidate your 1304 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 2: student loans, get it out of bad standing, put it 1305 00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 2: in good standing, and now that's going to help raise 1306 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,960 Speaker 2: your credit score because now you have an on time 1307 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,440 Speaker 2: payment with your student loans. And now that you know, 1308 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 2: when you fill your TAXI turns, they're not taking your money, 1309 00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And it's just good standing. 1310 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 2: So IBr is when they're putting it based off of 1311 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 2: your income. A lot of people when they graduate college, 1312 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 2: they go, what's going on a standard payment plan? And 1313 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 2: that's not good because you can be paying seven hundreds 1314 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 2: a month. 1315 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 3: Well, I was seen some one of my friends is 1316 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 3: playing twelve hundred right, and so now so she's like, yo, 1317 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 3: that's rent or a student loan, right. 1318 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And people look at it like, yo, 1319 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 2: I graduated college I'm only making twenty five thirty thousand 1320 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 2: dollars a year, but my student loans at X y 1321 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 2: z a month, I can't afford it. So the natural 1322 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 2: they like, I'm not paying it. So instead of doing that, 1323 00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,200 Speaker 2: what you want to do is you can refinance it 1324 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 2: right away, consolidate it and put all those loans into one. 1325 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,200 Speaker 2: Protect your credit because now if it goes off of 1326 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 2: your income, they can see, okay, well this person's not 1327 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,040 Speaker 2: making enough money to suffice it based off of their income. 1328 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:28,960 Speaker 2: They're going to put you out a zero payment. Now 1329 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 2: you're protecting your credit. And all you got to do 1330 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 2: is every year show your taxi turn and they keep 1331 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 2: you at that zero gallopement. 1332 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 5: Income based repayment. 1333 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 2: Yep, well about that, you know what I mean. So 1334 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 2: it's good because now when you're going to buy a house, 1335 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 2: your credit is not dinged up from your student loans, 1336 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And the last thing on 1337 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 2: that is is there's something if you're in default. So 1338 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 2: there's there's you know, you have student loans in good standing, 1339 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,440 Speaker 2: in collections and default. So if you're in default, you 1340 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 2: can't consolidate because you've messed it up too much. You 1341 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,040 Speaker 2: went too long without paying. You have to do it 1342 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 2: called the rehabilitation program for nine months where you pay 1343 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 2: at least like five to ten thousand a month, and 1344 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 2: then you get out of that negative standing. Then you 1345 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 2: can consolidate. But the great thing is once you do rehab, 1346 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 2: they automatically delete all that negative all the negative state 1347 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 2: the loan from your caredit soon. 1348 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 5: Loan is tricky. You got private, you got federal. It's tricky. 1349 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 4: It's crazy. 1350 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 3: I got a question about on the personal side as well. 1351 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 3: Is it ever a good time to close a card? 1352 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 2: Yes? 1353 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 5: Wait, because most. 1354 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 3: Times, yeah, most sounds we hear like yo, don't close 1355 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 3: the card. It's going to affect you negatively. And so 1356 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 3: people even though they you know, like they've probably charged 1357 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 3: it up and paid it down to a point that 1358 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 3: like I'm done with this, I want to close it. 1359 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 3: And the advice is. 1360 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 5: Don't close the card because you need to have open 1361 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 5: credit YEP. 1362 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 2: So it depends on what type of card it is. 1363 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,400 Speaker 2: If you have an American Express card, don't close Chase. 1364 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 2: You know, a good credit card, don't close it even 1365 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 2: if there's an annual fee, because you're getting the rewards 1366 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 2: and it makes sense to have a Chase, Bank of 1367 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 2: America P and C those type credit cards. The only 1368 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 2: time I advise people to close a card is if 1369 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 2: it's those like First Premiere Credit One, Milestone CB, Indigo. 1370 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 2: Have you seen those cards? 1371 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:04,400 Speaker 7: No? 1372 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 2: So these credit cards are like those credit cards where 1373 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 2: when you were in college or like when you're just 1374 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 2: getting out the ones that I applied for when I 1375 01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 2: went to the Marines. They give you pretty much a 1376 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 2: two or three hundred dollars limit off the jump. You 1377 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 2: don't got to put nothing down. But then when you 1378 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 2: get the card, they add a seventy five dollars annual 1379 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 2: feed right to the card. Right the interest rates like 1380 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,120 Speaker 2: thirty percent? You know, it's like twenty seven percent, right, 1381 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 2: So now you get the card, you're like, man, I 1382 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,760 Speaker 2: got two twenty five available, so you're gonna rack it up. 1383 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 2: And then the thing is, even if you have a 1384 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 2: zero balance. The reason why I suggest to close these 1385 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 2: cards is because they charge you about eight twenty five 1386 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 2: a month to just have the card. And it's a 1387 01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 2: subprime card. So why are you going to have a 1388 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 2: card that has high interest on it and its charging 1389 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 2: you every single month to just keep the card open. 1390 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 2: And then when you want to call to make it payment, 1391 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 2: They're going to charge you another ten dollars. So it's 1392 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 2: like those credit cards are credit cards that are going 1393 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 2: to put you in a hole. And the clients that 1394 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 2: come to us a lot, they have first premier charge offs, 1395 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 2: credit one charge offs, you know, c B Indigo, those 1396 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 2: really bad high interest credit cards. So we tell clients 1397 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 2: if you have them, pay it down and close them. 1398 01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 2: So it's never like really like yes and no, it's like, 1399 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:15,720 Speaker 2: let me break it down why. 1400 01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 5: It makes sense? 1401 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 4: Mean, there is there any tips for like people like 1402 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 4: that's looking to increase their credit limit. It might have 1403 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,920 Speaker 4: a hard even if they have like good credit. Sometimes 1404 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 4: credit card companies be like, nah, you're good. 1405 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 2: So one of the reasons why a lot of companies 1406 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 2: that decline you even though you have good credit, you 1407 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 2: have high balances, okay, and you might have a lot 1408 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,919 Speaker 2: of inquiries. The good thing about increaes they fall off 1409 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,560 Speaker 2: after two years, but they only affect your credit for 1410 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 2: twelve months. So if you're in that predicament, just wait, 1411 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 2: just wait it out. Make sure your balances are under 1412 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:46,720 Speaker 2: ten percent. 1413 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, talk about that, because most people say thirty, you 1414 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 4: say ten. Ten. 1415 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,600 Speaker 2: The reason why I say ten is because thirty years 1416 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 2: you'll be look at a six eighty seven hundred ten percent, 1417 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 2: you'll be over seven to twenty one percent. You'll be 1418 01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 2: like him, you know what I mean, they'll get that 1419 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 2: close to eight hundred, you know what I mean. So 1420 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 2: it's like, that's where you want to keep it, youtobe, 1421 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I joined that's where you 1422 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 2: want to keep it, because yeah, I'm not I'm not 1423 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 2: in this. You know, I'm gonna get there one day. 1424 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 2: I'm at like seven eighty, you know what I mean. 1425 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 2: My thing is I didn't have a lot of I 1426 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:23,439 Speaker 2: don't have that long history because everything was on my own, 1427 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I messed up my credit 1428 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 2: two or three times, file bankruptcy in like twenty thirteen, 1429 01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 2: So it was like a lot of that stuff affected me. 1430 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 2: Why did I start from scratch? You know what I mean? 1431 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 3: I got caught into a scheme where I was actually 1432 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 3: listening to ninety seven, you know, like those credit repair things. 1433 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 5: I called the number. 1434 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 3: I'm like, YO, I need some help, and they were like, YO, 1435 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 3: pay this mount pay this amount for like two years 1436 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:45,600 Speaker 3: and we'll wait everything. 1437 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 5: And it was like I'm like, should. 1438 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 3: I trust it should I trust it. And they consolidated everything. 1439 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 3: It was like a real thing.

Like when I say CO signed 1462 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 2: about a year in she should be like, yeah, I'm out, 1463 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. 1464 01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, if anybody asked me for a co sign, So 1465 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 4: you're good. 1466 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 2: Sign for children to know, because if you teach your 1467 01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 2: kids to have the good credit early, you. 1468 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 4: Don't you never have to. That was the thing when 1469 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,720 Speaker 4: you said with the sixteen, I don't want people that 1470 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,160 Speaker 4: go over people's head, like in two years you can 1471 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,680 Speaker 4: get your child's credit to seven one hundred or better. Yep, 1472 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,439 Speaker 4: and now they don't need a coach. The only reason 1473 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 4: why people need a coast on this is extremely important 1474 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 4: because it's like growing up in middle class, working class neighborhoods, 1475 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 4: you know, coming from just you know, not the most 1476 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 4: fluent financial background. You're thinking like, all right, I got 1477 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,120 Speaker 4: a co sign for my kid. The only reason you 1478 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:27,560 Speaker 4: got a co sign for your kid is that your 1479 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 4: kid needs to be on if you build them up properly. 1480 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,920 Speaker 4: Derek Grayce had a great you know him, Derek Grace, 1481 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 4: Yes three yep. Derek Grayce good, good, good guy. So 1482 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,480 Speaker 4: he he had a dope video and he was it 1483 01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 4: was It made me really just think about life differently. 1484 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 4: And he was like, you know, his delivery is a 1485 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 4: little harsher than ours, but he's a friend of the program, 1486 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,040 Speaker 4: but the thing he said was true. He was like, 1487 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 4: if you're relying on your kid to get a summer 1488 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 4: job when they're sixteen and then take out student loans, 1489 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,680 Speaker 4: like you didn't do something correct. And I never really 1490 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,080 Speaker 4: thought about it like that because I'm like, you know, 1491 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 4: you always think like you got to get a job. 1492 01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,520 Speaker 4: But he's like his thing is like you got to 1493 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 4: build the business and then hire your child and then 1494 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,520 Speaker 4: all of the different things. And I'm like, that's really 1495 01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 4: true if you really think about it, like I'm saying, 1496 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,200 Speaker 4: like what we're doing now is like it would be 1497 01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 4: a disservice if I'm doing all of this and then 1498 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 4: telling my son when he's sixteen, Yo, you gotta you 1499 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, figure it out and get a 1500 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 4: job and figure it out on your own, right, Like 1501 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 4: what's the point of me doing all this? And I 1502 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 4: never thought about it like that until he said it, 1503 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 4: and I'm like, that's actually true, and it's the same 1504 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,360 Speaker 4: thing what you said. It's like we're just so used 1505 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 4: to like, Okay, I'm gonna have to co sign for 1506 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 4: my kid because I'm gonna have to help, but now 1507 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 4: I should help them before that. And if you think 1508 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,560 Speaker 4: about in the grand scheme of things, only two. Yeah, 1509 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 4: the only thing you got to do is just put 1510 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,840 Speaker 4: them on and just make the payments. 1511 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 2: That's it. 1512 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,280 Speaker 4: And now they don't need a co sign because they 1513 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 4: have credit history ready. 1514 01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 2: And what's crazy is is that, you know, with minorities, 1515 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And when I posted that 1516 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:03,000 Speaker 2: thing on Instagram, I posted it on Facebook and I 1517 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 2: posted on Instagram. What's crazy is that a lot of 1518 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,240 Speaker 2: the Hispanic and Black community didn't know that, but when 1519 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 2: you look at the white community, they did. So that's 1520 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 2: why I want to change the game, because it's like, 1521 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:22,040 Speaker 2: that's great un THEMB. They're teaching their kids that. Once again, 1522 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 2: at eighteen, I didn't know that. At nineteen, I didn't 1523 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,440 Speaker 2: know that. So that as a community, we got to 1524 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,440 Speaker 2: do better because if we educated, we changed that early, 1525 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 2: we don't not only do we need the co sign 1526 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 2: but maybe our kids can help us buy stuff when 1527 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 2: they're older, you know what I mean. It's like if 1528 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 2: WICH just changed the generation and change the scope of 1529 01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 2: way that people learn and know about credit, it's going 1530 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,960 Speaker 2: to break the cycle of back credit. And not only 1531 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,760 Speaker 2: will kids not even need co signers, but they're gonna 1532 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 2: do things that we couldn't do at that age, you 1533 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,600 Speaker 2: know what I mean. And that's the difference is by 1534 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,880 Speaker 2: getting them to that credit level where it's like, not 1535 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 2: only do they need co signers, but they might not 1536 01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 2: even need to go to the cyclists, graduate high school, 1537 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 2: go to college, do this. Why not graduate high school 1538 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 2: with an eight hundred credit score, get into real estate 1539 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,760 Speaker 2: becoming an investor. By the time you're twenty two, you know, 1540 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:08,760 Speaker 2: you have a big portfolio, and your kids and your 1541 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 2: friends are just graduate in college. 1542 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:11,439 Speaker 5: They'll be paying you rooming board. 1543 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,800 Speaker 4: Right, you started looking at life differently, you know, Like 1544 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 4: I said, I watched that Derek grayce. The first time 1545 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:17,400 Speaker 4: I watched the clip, it was a little funny, so 1546 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 4: I was laughing. Then I watched it a few more 1547 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 4: times and I'm like, you know, he's actually bringing up 1548 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 4: some good points. And it's like because he was like, 1549 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 4: like I said, his delivery is a little harsh, but 1550 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 4: he was telling the people. He was like, he can 1551 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 4: guarantee his kid to probably be millionaires before most people 1552 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,920 Speaker 4: watching the video. And I'm thinking, like, you know, financial 1553 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 4: literacy is life or death, because it's like I'm looking 1554 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,160 Speaker 4: at it now, like my son has a legit chance 1555 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,000 Speaker 4: to become a millionaire early, just based off of investments 1556 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 4: that I'm making early on for him. And I'm like, 1557 01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 4: I'm doing a calculation, like if I put this much 1558 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,640 Speaker 4: money into an account, like by the time he's eighteen, 1559 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:47,880 Speaker 4: at least twenty five, he could really be a millionaire. 1560 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 4: And it's like your mindset, like you know what I'm saying, 1561 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,600 Speaker 4: Like you didn't really think about stuff like that never, 1562 01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:54,880 Speaker 4: Like you know what I'm saying. It's like, all right, 1563 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,360 Speaker 4: my kid got to get a good like you said, 1564 01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 4: go to school, get all a's, go to college, get 1565 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 4: the best paying job you can possibly get. But now 1566 01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 4: it's like, yo, you can actually set your kid up 1567 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 4: to have eight hundred credit score, have a half a 1568 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 4: million dollars in a trust, and you know what I'm saying, 1569 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 4: when he comes out, you got a business for them 1570 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,880 Speaker 4: to work under, and they can you know, do real 1571 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 4: estate investment, they can invest in stocks. And it's like 1572 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 4: the old way of thinking, it's just like not even 1573 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 4: really relevant anymore. 1574 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 3: Are you sound like the plug? Yeah, you sound like 1575 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:29,920 Speaker 3: the plug the generational wellshot shot shouts to the family pack. 1576 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,040 Speaker 4: That's a fact.
