MFZ - The Jake & Gino Youth Academy Is Now Available!!
Welcome to the Multi-FAMILY zone podcast, where business meets family. The hosts of the show, Julia and Gino Barbaro, have been married for over twenty years, and have six children. Julia homeschools the children, and recently became a marriage and life coach to help couples become better communicators and help enrich their lives. The couple is constantly asked about how they balance their entrepreneurial and real estate journey while raising their kids. The Multi-FAMILY zone was created to address these questions, along with a host of questions from the Jake and Gino community. In this lesson, Julia and Gino share their journey of teaching their children the often neglected skills of money, finance, and investing, which are omitted in today’s public schools. Jake & Gino created a Youth Academy to address the inequities of lack of financial education in the classrooms, and have included lessons for adults as well. What is included in the Youth Academy? For starters, what can parents do right now to begin the journey, what life skills can they teach their children, what are some powerful habits to create around money, what is money and how to take control of it, and so many more vital topics. The goal of the Academy is to present money and investing in an easy to understand format, where young adults have a framework to begin implementing the lessons in their daily lives to improve their financial situation. These lessons have been created by us, and they have led to our financial freedom and the ability to help others achieve the same level of success.

RCRE - Cracking Mobile Home Parks with Ekatarina Stepanova
Will Coleman and Mike Taravella interview Ekatarina Stepanova of M2K Partners. Key Information: Mobile home parks are divided into lots which have homes owned by either the park or the tenants.

Banks typically do not lend on homes in parks because of their rapid depreciation. Look to optimize the infrastructure in the park: septic tanks, clubhouse, roads. If possible utilize the city in regards to sewer, water, and electricity.
