Teaching financial literacy to children is important. On today’s episode, we talk with Pongee Barnes, investor and entrepreneur, about including your children in your business and the importance of teaching entrepreneurial skills at a young age. Most people say that they want to give their kids a better life than they had growing up. But most just say it without putting action behind those words. Not this guest. We discuss with Pongee how she got started in real estate in college, the lessons she learned from that first unsuccessful deal, the importance of niching down and focusing on one area of business, and the power of partnerships. Pongee also shares with us her new entrepreneurial endeavor, publishing children’s books to educate them at young ages on entrepreneurship and ownership.   Pongee has been investing in real estate in the Chicago area for nearly two decades, and she's only 35. But her strategy for building wealth is straightforward and can be replicated by anyone that has patience. She has accumulated most of her rental properties without bank financing, which has enabled her to achieve financial freedom with only a few properties. Now she's focusing on scaling her monthly income and setting her kids up for a huge financial head start. Pongee recently founded Little Owners, a company dedicated to educating kids on the various paths to career and entrepreneurial success. Her book series, co-written with her children, breaks down the ins and outs of various careers. On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Pongee including: The power of staying focused The lessons Pongee learned from her first failed flip How to make sure someone will be a good partner Ways to maintain a business to start building another one Why it’s important to include children in your business and let them know that ownership is an option Books/Resources Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki Contact Information Instagram - @realestateandchill Instagram - @little_owners Littleowners.com Are you ready to Level Up?

Just because real estate is expensive where you live, doesn’t mean you can’t invest. Out-of-state investing creates a great opportunity. On today’s episode, we talk with Lesley Ray, full-time investor, on the lessons she learned while growing her portfolio out of state.  When investing out of state, having a local solid team is important. We discuss with Lesley why she chose to invest out of state, the key players on her team that help make it a success, the systems she has put in place to grow her portfolio and the story about why she switched from self-managing, to hiring a property manager. Lesley also shares her experience pivoting from long-term rentals to flipping as it more aligns with her interests and experience. Lesley's background in commercial interior architecture has led her to design and manage multi-million-dollar commercial office renovations for some of the world's largest technology clients in the Bay Area, California. After years of designing for clients, Lesley discovered real estate investing and saw the opportunity to be able to design and develop her own projects. Investing in the Bay Area proved to be cost-prohibitive, so she decided to purchase in Ohio where she grew up. She found her rockstar agent and purchased her first duplex in 2019. Since then, she has acquired 3 more properties: 10 doors (individually and with partners). She is excited to continue growing her portfolio as she expands into flipping and development so she can design her own projects. On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Lesley including: Details about her first property, a duplex in Ohio Why you should request rent rolls during the due diligence period Lesley’s favorite way to communicate with contractors out of state Why she’s choosing to pivot into flipping The key players needed on your investing team Books/Resources Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki Contact Information Email- lesley@beam-properties.com Are you ready to Level Up?

Look at the life you want to live five years from now. Will your current investing strategy get you there? On today’s episode, we talk with Savannah Arroyo, investor and registered nurse, on how to transition into multifamily syndication while working full-time. When you work backgrounds from your end goal, there lays a blueprint of what actionable steps you need to take. We discuss with Savannah why she transitioned from single family rentals to syndicating multifamily properties, how to invest in real estate while working a full-time job, how to vet a property management company, and the most important question to ask a person you may have a working relationship with. Savannah also shares her experience with a coaching and mentorship program and why she felt that was a great decision as she grew her real estate business. Savannah "The Networth Nurse" is a full-time Registered Nurse in Los Angeles, California. She uses her skills as a leader in healthcare operations to manage multifamily syndications. She also helps busy medical professionals create passive income through real estate investing. Her husband and she started investing in single family homes and quickly transitioned into multifamily after they learned about the opportunities to build and scale a business through multifamily with less risks and higher rewards.

They have 2 young daughters 1yr and 3yr and love spending time at the beach and in the outdoors.

You can’t have the asset protection that comes from an LLC, and then not act like an LLC. On today’s episode, we talk with Bonnie Galam, investor and real estate attorney, on how to proactively protect you real estate assets and self-manage a large portfolio. LLCs don’t stop lawsuits from happening. They are there to protect you in the event one arises. But what can you be doing to prevent those types of losses to begin with? We discuss with Bonnie how you can operate your business to better protect your assets, the importance of having an annual asset, when you should and shouldn’t self-manage, and lessons learned during the pandemic when it comes to landlording. Bonnie also shares a great process for finding out what your core genius is within your business.  Bonnie Galam is a real estate investor, real estate attorney, and founder of Landlord Law School. Bonnie and her husband built a multimillion-dollar rental portfolio by their late 20s in the greater Philadelphia area. Bonnie founded her law firm, a boutique real estate practice serving in NJ and PA, with a mission to serve investors. Through her law firm, Bonnie noticed that real estate investors were coming to her to solve problems rather than prevent them. She knew from her own experience that it was because the existing law firm model didn't serve investors. They simply weren't going to call their lawyer every time they worked with a contractor or communicated with a tenant. So Bonnie created landlord law school, the only DIY asset protection course for real estate investors to help prevent law suits, preserve generational wealth, and securely scale their investing business. Personally, Bonnie is a mom of 2 tiny tots - Elliot age 3 and Soleil age 1. She almost always has her nose in a book, is a certified yoga instructor and would always prefer to be at the beach. On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Bonnie including: Eviction alternatives Policies and best practice you can put in place to protect your assets How to avoid landlord horror stories The importance of having the right insurance in place The importance of treating an LLC like an LLC Books/Resources This is Marketing by Seth Godin Landlord Law School – Free 7-day access to module 1! https://bonniegalam.mykajabi.com/a/39387/azzzfVaz   Contact Information Email - bonnie@bonniegalam.com Instagram - @bonniegalamesq We are so excited to share that we are hosting a free 3-day live event called the Top Producer Challenge!

Investing in resorts during a pandemic can be a great opportunity. On today’s episode, we talk with Melanie McCallen, investor and business owner, about how she pivoted her resort business to thrive during COVID-19. With a global pandemic in place, investing in resorts doesn’t seem to be the best decision but today’s guest shares how it is a great opportunity. We discuss with Melanie how she got started in resort investing, how she utilizes the BRRRR method in her business, the team needed to be successful in hospitality, and the key decisions made to ensure success during Covid-19. Melanie also shares with us the mindset needed to reach your goals and the importance of creating a final vision to work towards. Melanie brings her heart to all she does.

Together they have completely re-envisioned more than 100,000 square feet of interior space and are currently developing over 400 acres. With every aesthetic choice Melanie makes in the redesigning of our properties she keeps the mission of VIVAMEE close at heart. This mission, to Revive the Soul, is very dear to her. She realizes the power it has to affect our guest’s experience at the resort.
