From Flipping Burgers to Flipping Million Dollar Homes Rafael Estrada #57

Born in Peru, Rafael Estrada immigrated to the United States and had to  earn everything he has today. Arriving at 14 years old and not speaking a  word of English, Rafael had to catch up to his peers right at the start  of high school.

And away from school, he worked where he could,  as he didn’t have the proper documentation at the time. But he made his  circumstances work and that attitude carried over to his real estate  career.

Influenced by his father, Rafael’s dad would encourage  and empower Rafael’s entrepreneurial spirit, so much so that just after  two semesters of college, Rafael dropped out and got into banking. And  it was in a house flipping convention (with his father) that Rafael  began to really see the profits in real estate. He was bitten by the bug  and the rest is history.

Up to date, Rafael owns seven rental  properties and has made over a million dollars in profits in his flips.  He is working on a couple of short term rentals through partnerships and  looks to continue to grow his rental portfolio and branch out his  businesses to other living needs that all people require.

To get in touch with Rafael, follow him on Instagram @rafaelre_

Find A Realtor That Knows The Struggle Of Investing - Emelyn Fernandez #56

Emelyn Fernandez is a Dominican Republic native turned New York native.  She immigrated to the United States over 17 years ago speaking no  English and having very little. She went to a high school with over  5,000 students and while she had a lot of “hallway friends,” she focused  on her classes and did her thing.

When it came time to apply to  college, the harsh realities of being an undocumented immigrant hit her  when she was denied opportunities of going to a university that she very  muched deserved. And while that sent her to a level of depression, the  resilience of overcoming a “no” would be the theme of her career and  business.

And after giving birth to her first child, who has  special needs, she got to thinking not only of her future, but that of  her child’s as well. And real estate came knocking on her door.

And  that's where we meet Emelyn in this episode. She’s an inspiration for  women and mothers all over the country who are going through the same  adversity. That’s part of the reason she wanted to share her story.

Up  to date, she owns a total of seven doors and shows no sign of slowing  down as she aims to focus on growing by scale and taking more more multi  unit properties.

To get in touch with Emelyn, follow her on Instagram @emelyn18fernandez

Grit, Humility, and Servitude That Makes You Scale Faster In Business - Matt King #53

Matt King is David Osborn’s right hand man, working as his COO and chief of staff. He’s lived in Austin, Texas for the last seven years, partly thanks to our very own Diego Corzo. But before financial freedom, multiple businesses, and entrepreneurship, Matt came from humble beginnings.

Born and raised to a middle class family, Matt grew up with his parents pretty much working their whole lives. Because of that, he learned early on not to squander the opportunities he’d been given through the sacrifices his parents made.And curios enough, it’s that same generosity that’s afforded him the good fortune he’s been given by many people throughout his life.

And that’s where we meet Matt in this episode. From dropping out of college to print T-shirts to being at the table with multi millionaires to even being a featured guest at the Rat Race To FI Conference in December 2021, Matt exemplifies what it means to stay curious and have a servant’s heart.

Up to date, the biggest focus for his life for the foreseeable future is to just continue to become a better and better version of himself, by being a better husband, being a better dad, being a better businessperson, and being a better student.

To get in touch with Matt, follow him on Instagram @matthewk1ng

Leveraging Partnerships To Build Your Real Estate Portfolio- Xavier Marin #52

Born and raised in East Bay, California, Xavier Marin was a timid, shy  kid. And if that wasn’t bad enough, he was also on the heavy side.  Growing up, he had struggled with self worth, identity, and confidence.

Fast  forward to college, he was thrown into the ocean and met people from  all over with all sorts of different backgrounds. He learned very  quickly that it was up to him to become who he wants to be and lead a  worthwhile life. Through his challenges, he’s learned resilience,  courage, and taking a whole lot of action.

Then one fateful day,  he was connected to our very own Felipe Mejia, who took him on as a  mentee and helped him get over the edge to his first real taste of real  estate.

And that’s where we meet Xavier in this episode.  Investing for only a few years now, he’s lightyears ahead of where he  was at the beginning of his journey.

Up to date, Xavier is  invested in AirBNB short term rentals and aims to branch out to  different markets with different partners to keep his portfolio growing  and expanding.

From Dish Washer To Banker To Full Time Real Estate Investor - Sebastian Rodriguez #51

Connections, Partnerships, and Survival with Sebastian Rodriguez

Born  and raised in Columbia, Sebastian Rodriguez immigrated to the US seven  years ago when he was 25 years old. Coming from the banking industry  back home, he was a nobody here. So what started out as dreams of  becoming a Wall Street stockbroker quickly became a reality of  bartending, bussing, and waiting in Miami, Fl.

In an effort to  stay afloat, Sebastian essentially started House Hacking before he even  knew what he was really doing. Everything he did was all in an effort to  survive. In between learning English and working three jobs, Sebastian  kept his head down and reminded himself that there was more. He closed  on his first property in 2019 and joined Rat Race To FI shortly  thereafter.

Now being a father, he’s taken the lessons and  experiences from the last decade and is continuing to build on it not  only for the family that came before him, but the ones that will come  after.

And that’s where we meet Sebastian in this episode. He’s  transitioned to full time real estate investing and is dreaming larger  than ever.

Up to date, Sebastian owns four properties, both traditional rentals and AirBNB, and is actively wholesaling.

To get in touch with Sebastian, follow him on Instagram @sebasromi09

Farming, ATMs's ,Rentals and Syndications - Trista Priest #50

Born and raised in Southwest Kansas, Trista Brown Priest is a third generation cattle farmer. Coming from a very small town, she went to school with all the same people, all 19 of them.

So naturally, wrapping up high school, she had aspirations to settle down in some bigshot city and never come back. Sure enough, she graduated college with an MBA in 2008 and couldn’t get hired for the very degree she had just spent the last couple years working towards. So along with getting back into farming, Trista was also getting into real estate investing.

And that's where we meet Trista in this episode. She’s done well for herself and her family and the goal for the immediate future is to get to financial independence ASAP!

Up to date, she owns five rental properties, a local car wash, feeds 43,000 cattle, and is growing her short term rental and syndication portfolio.

To get in touch with Trista, follow her on Instagram @financially.free.farmer

From Air Force To Investing Realtor - Ali Garced #49

Born and raised in White Plains, New York, Ali Garced grew up in a diverse family as a second generation immigrant child. And that allowed her very unique experiences in life. She witnessed the back breaking work her parents went through in order to support her and her sister. And because of that, she felt that she owed it to them not to drop the ball for the next generation.

While a rebellious teenager, she never got into too much trouble. And it was ingrained in her early on that college was just something she was going to do. And again, as a debt to her parents, she stuck it out and eventually decided to join the Air Force. While it seemed like a radical idea at the time, it all worked out well. She even bought her first property using a VA Loan.

And that's where we meet Ali in this episode. She’s approaching her 10th year in the military and will be transitioning (officially) into full time real estate sales as a Realtor later this year.

Up to date, Ali owns six properties and is in the process of acquiring her next single family short term rental out in Hawaii along with an apartment building as to start branching out the portfolio. And aside from all the real estate, start a family here shortly.

To get in touch with Ali, follow her on Instagram @ali_the_agent

Mental Framework For Investors and Entrepreneurs- Jason Drees #48

We welcome back Episode #48 featured guest, Jason Drees, to delve deeper  into his story and how he became the man he is today.  Above and beyond helping someone achieve their goals, Jason is a  performance coach who helps individuals achieve their maximum potential  by removing their resistance to success.  Jason was in technology sales since the 90s and did that for over two  decades. And up until the point he decided he wanted to be an  entrepreneur, there was no one else in his family that had done it  before him. In 2012, he read Rich Dad Poor Dad, hired a Tony Robbins  coach, and the trajectory of his life changed forever.  Throughout the episode, Jason throws out a ton of powerful questions you  should take the time to ask yourself and of your business to get  aligned, inspired, and win. Think of it as a mini coaching call.

Cupcake Real Estate Flips - Jacqueline Marshall #47

After a full stint in college, Jacqueline Marshall basically got her  degree and had nothing to show for it. There was no career or million  dollar job waiting for her on the other side. Not really knowing any  better, she bought a cafe and learned how to run it after attending two  years in the school of hard knocks.

Her partnership dissolved and  she went back to school to be a dental hygienist. And after three years  of doing that, she definitely knew that career path wasn't for her  either. While the salary was respectable, the hours were unsustainable  for her well being over the course of 30+ years.

So in the effort  to pivot, she put her home up for sale and after it didn’t sell, out of  frustration, she put it up for rent. With the money she was still  making from her job, she bought another property… and then another. And  after the sixth one, the light bulb switched on and she started doing  flips. And after making in one flip what she would make in a year, she  decided that she’d never go back to a dental hygiene office ever again.

And  that's where we meet Jacqueline in this episode. Three years later,  she’s still a full time house flipper and has gained a wealth of  knowledge in the DIY space.

Up to date, she has recently acquired  her first multi-family property (which is a fixer) and is beginning to  step back from her business to focus more of her efforts on scaling it.

From Cuba To MIT to FI w Real Estate - Michael Castaño #46

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, and son of two Cuban refugees Michael Castano was an only child and an introverted one at that. Wasn’t all that into sports, but he was a math and science whiz, he took after his father.

Growing up with very little, Michael learned naturally the importance of money management and through mentorship with teachers, was able to get admitted into MIT. While he was pushed by his family to become a lawyer, he was drawn away from the desk and onto something more hands on. He was able to work for GM and that’s what led him to real estate.

Combining his understanding of putting money to work, minimizing expenses, and his childhood experiences of renting out rooms and managing property, he bought his first duplex in Detroit.

And that’s where we meet Michael in this episode. He’s a first generation investor, not too shabby for a refugee’s son.

Up to date, Michael has eight doors and has achieved financial independence in under five years. Going forward, the biggest goals for him are to start growing his short term rental portfolio along with his network for partnerships.

Short Term Rentals and Wholesaling Real Estate Mentors -Diana Oceguera/Naaman Taylor #45

We welcome back Episode 25 guest Naaman Taylor and Episode 27 guest  Diana Oceguera.  Since the last time they’ve appeared on the show, they have since become  leaders in their own respective Microtribes, Diana for short term  rentals (AirBNB) and Naaman for wholesalers.  Yet, one of the important things to note in this episode is that neither  Naaman nor Diana were born-entrepreneurs  or inherited a family real  estate business. Far from that. They were normal, regular people who  decided they wanted more from life and took action. And now, they want  the same for their mentees and peers.  Diana found a passion for hospitality and education and through her STR  Microtribe, she’s able to combine those two things. Naaman decided at 17  years old that his wife was going to be nothing short of bold moves and  the biggest goal for his Wholesaling Microtribe is to get all his  mentees paid, bar none.

Investing In Hawaii Real Estate A Calculated Risk - Zasha #44

Zasha Smith, Hawaii born and raised, didn’t really have a whole lot  going for her growing up on the island. Sure, the culture was great, but  other than that, there wasn’t much else to experience. So naturally,  going into grade school and even college, she got by doing the bare  minimum.  But the trajectory of her life really began to shift for the better when  she developed a mentor relationship with one of her teachers in high  school and that became a sort of theme all throughout her success. It  was with mentors like these that she learned how to push herself, expand  her mind, and take more of what life has to offer.  And like full circle, with her partnerships now, she does business with  new investors who are hungry and she brings the experience and  education.  And that's where we meet Zasha in this episode. She’s now officially a  full time real estate investor and shows no signs of letting up.  Up to date, she’s done about 20 deals since her start in 2019, a mix of  flips and holds, and is now focused on growing her passive income.

Renovating, Developing, and Occupying Major Fixers- Cristina Mineo#43

New York born and raised, Atlanta turned investor Cristina Mineo  grew up as a quiet, shy kid in school who put her head down, worked  diligently, and did what was required to succeed.

Even in  college, the story was more of the same. And it was around this time she  met her would be husband not too long after. Because of the lifestyle  differences and demands, Cristina knew early on that her “normal”  probably wouldn’t be “traditional.”

And that’s rooted her even  more. It’s what gives her the strength to keep moving forward on a daily  basis and work as hard as she does for herself and her family.

And  that's where we meet Cristina in this episode. She’s a full time  investor, managing their projects and growing their portfolio.

Up  to date, she has renovations and flips under her belt and is currently  working on a development project where she resides now in Atlanta,  Georgia. Her focus in the immediate future is to see the through to the  end of her development and begin helping money-conscious investors with  their own renovation designs.

Managing A 350 Unit Portfolio As A General Partner -Tiffany Williams #42

Growing up, Tiffany Hendricks was a daughter of someone who flipped real estate. But of course, she didn’t really know any better. She just understood it as dad’s work and I helped out.

One thing she did know, however, was how big of a life she wanted to live. She always told herself that she’d be a millionaire and nothing short of that. So clearly, it was just a matter of time until real estate crossed her path again.

Fast forward post college graduation, she finished with a business degree and got into apartment management, where she eventually grew to become an operating partner.

And that's where we meet Tiffany in this episode. With only two years of real estate under her belt, she’s taken advantage of every opportunity she’s been given and uses them as her own business school.

Up to date, she’s a general partner for a 350 unit portfolio and is in the process of obtaining her real estate license. She and her partners are growing the development side of the business throughout the course of the year and plans to help more of their tenants become homeowners themselves!
