From Poverty to Financial Freedom with Octavio Mota

Friday Nov 26, 2021

Episode: 151

Octavio Mota

*Sponsor: Investor Carrot*

https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/carrot

Join your host David Pere with his guest Octavio Mota, as they talk about how Octavio went from homeless after college to now owning 20+ units in real estate and investing in startups. Listening to Octavio's story, it's clear that the man didn't start out with a silver spoon in his mouth. But by learning from his experience, the story's takeaway is that grit surely can take anyone a long, long, long way.

As a reflection from one of his two favorite books, The 4-Hour Workweek, Octavio believes that having the employee mentality shouldn't always be a bad thing. Although, that doesn't also mean that you shouldn't take risks outside of your job. Outside of your W-2, you too can be an employer.

In this episode, Octavio explains how he got started with mobile home parks and bought out the same company he was doing an internship for. He also shares how he plans to scale his portfolio as a real estate investor and in multiple startup businesses plus other business models far from real estate.

About Octavio Mota:

Octavio Mota is a highly qualified and well-developed Signal Officer with extensive institutional knowledge and project lead experience that excels at leading the Signal Corps through the entire systems of communication for the Army.

Octavio's a solutions-oriented Signal Officer with notable success in maintaining the Army's voice, data, and information systems while participating in planning and implementation of tactical operations at all levels of command.

When outside of the military, he is a successful real estate investor and invests in different fields of business from dropshipping, trucking service, and more.

Outline of the episode:

My name is David Pere, I am an active duty Marine, and have realized that service members and the working class use the phrase "I don't get paid enough" entirely too often. The reality is that most often our financial situation is self-inflicted. After having success with real estate investing, I started From Military to Millionaire to teach personal finance and real estate investing to service members and the working class. As a result, I have helped many of my readers increase their savings gap, and increase their chances of achieving financial freedom! - Click here to SUBSCRIBE: https://bit.ly/2Q3EvfE to the channel for more awesome videos!

How Robert Kiyosaki is investing right now, and why financial freedom is so important!

Friday Nov 19, 2021

Episode: 150

Robert Kiyosaki

Join your host David Pere and Alex Felice in this golden episode with the one-and-only Robert Kiyosaki as he talks about Rich Dad, Poor Dad's core message on freedom, together with what can be expected from his newly released book Capitalist Manifesto: How Entrepreneurs Can Save Capitalism.

Twenty-five years later, here, Robert explains to us the logic behind "Cashflow 101," the board game he released in 1996, and how it explains the concept of life on the fast track. Of course, when you're in school, all that you're made to focus on are income and expenses. But in reality, the eyes' of the wealthy aren't set on those.

In this episode, Robert talks about his life growing up as a punky surfer kid in Hawaii, his opinions on pessimism and optimism, what he learned during his years as a helicopter pilot, why he just can't trust the dollar, and the reason why he came up with the book Capitalist Manifesto. Real freedom is freedom from job security!

About Robert Kiyosaki:

Robert has been heralded as a visionary who has a gift for simplifying complex concepts—ideas related to money, investing, finance, and economics—and has shared his personal journey to financial freedom in ways that resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.

His point of view is that the "old advice"—go to school, get a job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify—has become obsolete advice in today's fast-paced, ever-changing world. His Rich Dad philosophies and messages challenge the status quo, and his teachings encourage people to take the initiative to become financially educated and financially free.

Robert is the author of 27 books, including two books with Donald Trump, prior to him becoming President of the United States. Robert has been a featured guest with media outlets in every corner of the world. He is the host of the Rich Dad Radio Show podcast, a world-renowned speaker, and a life-long student.

All Things Hard Money Lending with My Friend Sean Pan

Friday Nov 05, 2021

Episode: 148

Sean Pan

Join your host David Pere with guest Sean Pan as they talk about how Sean created a path before leaving his W-2 job for real estate investing. Before, Sean was an engineer. After his first job, he realized despite the safety full-time careers offer, the growth potential is limited. When he reflected on his father's satisfaction in terms of career, Sean was compelled to make risk-taking more seriously. For him, the younger you are, the more you should be taking risks.

Aside from touching on his introduction to investing, Sean also shares how he got into doing podcasts. As a real estate investor, he acknowledges the challenges common to real estate and podcasting and briefs about why podcasters shouldn't just stay within the mainstream platforms for podcasting.

In this episode, Sean and David tackle limiting beliefs, hard money loans, entry-level investments that gained big, and the indisputable relevance of networking to every beginner in investing. They also discuss deep what seems to be the answer to every investor's problem in general. The two agree that doing your first deal will always be more important than making sure your first deal is perfect.

About Sean Pan:

Sean is a real estate investor and hard money lender based in the San Francisco Bay Area and invests in single-family renovations as well as out-of-state investments in Jacksonville, Florida.

He is the host of "The Everything Real Estate Investing Show," where he interviews top investors and professionals (agents, architects, contractors, and inspectors) to shed light on what they do and how to help investors succeed in the industry.

Sean hosts local meetups in the South Bay, produces real estate-related videos, and consistently reports on local real estate news.

Sean focuses his time on providing value and guidance to newer investors to give them a boost in their real estate investing journeys.

Outline of the episode:

[03:23] Sean Pan: An engineer who needed to find a way out.
[06:02] How did Sean exit full-time work?
[09:49] You can start REI with networking.
[12:50] What's one way to crash your imposter syndrome?
[14:57] The story behind how Sean scaled to multifamily and ended up with a hefty profit.
[19:36] A podcast's power in working a broader reach.
[22:55] Graham Stephan told me something…
[26:28] What is a hard money loan?
[34:07] What kind of due diligence do you look for in a hard money loan?
[42:18] The answer to almost every investor's problem is…

How Ali Garced Got Started in Real Estate, and Crushing it Now!

Friday Oct 29, 2021

Episode: 147

Ali Garced

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Ali Garced, as they speak about turnkey investing, property management, storage, and Ali's many experiences as a real estate investor and an Active Duty Air Force Captain. As an investor, Ali has already done a little bit of everything. Because of her progressive experience, Ali has become a model investor that is easy to learn from for every individual who is just getting into real estate investing.

If there's one thing Ali wished she could've done differently, it's about how she viewed having roommates. As a bit of advice, Ali would tell anyone to embrace having roommates for as long as they can. When she entered the military, she thought it was time to let go of having roommates. Looking back at it now, Ali wishes her 1^st purchase wasn't a condo but multifamily. With multifamily, she could've gone for a house hack.

In this episode, Ali shares with us the story behind her 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd investment, as well as her different experiences with single-family, multifamily, and the challenges of managing Airbnb's and properties from distant locations. Together with David and Alex, Ali also briefs through why she believes storage is an industry that will never go out of colour.

About Ali Garced:

Ali is an Active Duty Air Force Captain with the goal of helping others achieve financial independence. She helps investors get started with house-hacking and acquire properties for their own personal portfolio, both residential and commercial. Having been through several real estate transactions and being an investor herself, with five units, Ali knows how to help any client find a good deal.

How to Land Deals with the VA Loan in a Sellers Market with Donald Appleberry

Friday Jun 18, 2021

Episode: 146

Donald Appleberry

Todays sponsor is Rentometer: https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/rentometer

In today's episode, tune in to your host David Pere as he's joined with guest Donald Appleberry. With experience and stories, listen to Donald as he talks about the standards you need to look into when working with a real estate agent, his experience as a real estate investor with wholesale, and what he's got to say about VA Loans that people need to hear about.

In a deal, the hesitation towards VA Loans is primarily because of the requirements and limitations that come with it. Donald has come to find this the biggest and most common misunderstanding regarding VA Loans, aside from the notion that VA Loans are complex and not quick to close. In this exchange, Donald argues these connotations.

For Donald, getting hold of a real estate agent license isn't enough and doesn't apply anything when choosing agents to rely on in a deal. An agent needs to be active full-time and have skin in the game. David also adds, trusting an agent just because their licensed is almost comparable to trusting your 10-year old child with the keys to your Ferrari. Donald believes – just because someone is licensed – doesn't mean they're a professional.

About Donald Appleberry:

Donald enlisted as an 0321 Reconnaissance Man in 2014 and spent over 2 years in Bravo Company on the Free Fall Team as the team medic. After deploying, Donald moved into Force Reconnaissance Company and filled the Billet of a Team Leader for almost 18 months.

During this time, he was furthering his investing knowledge and understanding and has started his Real Estate licensing process, investing in single-family homes. Donald is currently looking into starting a non-profit company as well.

Donald is a part of the Discher real estate group in San Diego, CA. Specializing in VA home loans and listing service members' properties. They make sure to squeeze every benefit out of the VA loan and ensure the service member is set up for success and happiness in their new home.

He has helped multiple members in the military buy investment properties and walked them through how to manage them correctly, both in state and out of state. It's a proven system that outpaces any other investment opportunity that has the same amount of risk.

Outline of the episode:

[04:08] Wholesale: The Lowest Hanging Fruit.
[09:24] The business of Chinese investors.
[14:04] Conduct due diligence on your partner in a purchase.
[18:47] Rates aren't your end-all and be-all.
[25:58] On not overpromising and under-delivering.
[32:41] Not meeting the 1% Rule doesn't necessarily make property
[39:21] It's usually not about the VA Loan.
[43:34] The misconceptions about being a Real Estate Agent.
[51:43] The adjustments you make to better serve your buyers.
[58:22] On waiving appraisals in VA Loans.

How to Use the VA Loan In A Sellers’ Market with Jon Lallande (one of the best)

Friday Jun 11, 2021

Episode: 145

Jon Lallande

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guest Jon Lallande as they talk everything about VA loans, what makes it cool and not cool, and the one-time restoration entitlement that VA loan users need to hear about before they start building their portfolios.

Throughout the discussion, the guys build up and poke holes in everything they can discuss regarding VA loans and their pros and cons. For Jon, a user benefits from a VA loan's higher chance of closing than other options. Meanwhile, Alex thinks it is disproportionately advertised to entice people into not-so-savvy investments.

As a piece of advice to first-time investors, Jon believes in the importance of saving, understanding the available options on the table, and understanding how the market doesn't always just appreciate forever. In this episode, tune in to the different opinions that weigh out about VA loans as the guys tackle the topic in technicalities.

How to Use the BRRRR Strategy from Out Of State with Jin Lym

Friday Jun 04, 2021

Episode: 144 Jin Lym Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guest Jin Lym as they talk about mentors, leveraging other people's expertise, and how Jin pivoted from flipping houses to doing rentals as a real estate investor. When Jin thought about the possibility of catering to a whole family and his parents in the future, he knew he needed to start gearing towards building generational wealth through real estate. Jin knew he needed to enter a specific niche of real estate investing to reach generational wealth and financial freedom. Thus, he got into rentals. From previously flipping houses in Hawaii, Jin moved to rentals to bring in residual income. In light of the topic, David, Alex, and Jin also discuss how this dilemma explains most people's fault when planning out a way of generating income. In this episode, listen as they talk deeper about networking, the BRRRR strategy, why turnkey assets suck and why they're good, and how investors can capitalize on their superpowers in order to jumpstart and gain an edge in the real estate business. About Jin Lym: Jin is a Marine Corps veteran and budding real estate investor. With a bachelor's in Information Systems and Operations Management from George Mason University, he has over seven years of professional information-technology experience, working with companies such as Rolls-Royce North America and Rackspace.

The reality is that most often our financial situation is self-inflicted. After having success with real estate investing, I started From Military to Millionaire to teach personal finance and real estate investing to service members and the working class.
