1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,930 All right. Welcome, folks, to another edition of our Zoom 2 00:00:02,930 --> 00:00:04,680 Up. It's our meetup on Zoom. My name is 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,880 Michael Huggins coming to you live from Tennessee. I got my 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,640 co-host out of Chicago. What's up, Scott? 5 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,210 Lucky to be here. Lucky to be here. I'm just hooking the 6 00:00:11,210 --> 00:00:13,200 wagon to the phenom. Michael Huggins. 7 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,640 Yes, we got some great stuff happening. So, folks, we are 8 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,320 bringing you this video series to 9 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,330 inspire you and take your life and transform it from a life 10 00:00:20,330 --> 00:00:22,140 of default to a life of design. 11 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,130 We have an amazing library of past videos, and the idea 12 00:00:25,130 --> 00:00:27,220 behind this is you can take control of 13 00:00:27,220 --> 00:00:30,220 your life. If you get educated, surround yourself with the 14 00:00:30,220 --> 00:00:31,940 right people and get focused in real 15 00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:34,590 estate and entrepreneurship. Take back control of your life 16 00:00:34,590 --> 00:00:36,660 . It happened for me. I was working at 17 00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:39,910 Jiffy Loop making about $20,000 a year. I met this group in 18 00:00:39,910 --> 00:00:41,700 my first deal. I made more money than 19 00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:45,670 I made $21,000. That was more than my entire year at that 20 00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:48,040 stupid job, and I haven't had a job since. 21 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:50,640 It's been 10 years, done a lot of more deals, but today's 22 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,380 not about me. It's about a student that 23 00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:56,090 we're featuring. Scott, give the folks a little bit of your 24 00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:57,100 background. 25 00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:00,610 Scott Pellet: Yeah, I wasn't making 10 times that actually. 26 00:01:00,610 --> 00:01:03,340 I was making $21,000. $21,000 was my last 27 00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:08,730 job. $212,000 a year. And the paradigm shift was technology 28 00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:11,100 . So they started selling stuff off the 29 00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,190 internet. They didn't need me running four states full of 30 00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:15,740 sales guys. I'm like, "See you later." I met my wife in 31 00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:19,280 that company. So we both lost our jobs in 2005. And then 32 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,580 two years later, we found this group having 33 00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:24,250 lost everything. And everything's changed. We have now 34 00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:27,420 helped over 15,000 people all over the country, 35 00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:29,710 helped open up 26 of these buildings, helping people do 36 00:01:29,710 --> 00:01:32,380 real estate around the country. And it's been 37 00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:33,500 fantastic. Scott Pellet: 38 00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:36,750 It is so much fun to be able to watch people use this 39 00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:38,620 process and change their lives. So we're bringing 40 00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:40,910 you another story. If you want to go watch, we've got 41 00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:43,420 another 90 plus episodes in the library. Go check those 42 00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:45,410 out. And then for those of you who are wanting to learn 43 00:01:45,410 --> 00:01:46,780 more, you're going to get back with the 44 00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:49,710 person who invited you here and request access to... We 45 00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:51,820 have an intro coming up. We have a live house 46 00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:54,020 tour coming up where you can see, walk through the deals of 47 00:01:54,020 --> 00:01:55,660 the students that are working with us. 48 00:01:55,660 --> 00:01:57,800 And then we also have a couple of workshops coming up. 49 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,500 Either one of those, there's some recordings, 50 00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:01,450 but if you can get to the live ones too, that's also very 51 00:02:01,450 --> 00:02:03,740 important. And then just as a side note, 52 00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:07,130 real estate is risky folks. So you need to dot your I's, 53 00:02:07,130 --> 00:02:07,980 cross your T's, 54 00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:09,660 surround yourself with professionals, because if you don't, 55 00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:10,540 you could lose a lot of money. 56 00:02:10,540 --> 00:02:13,020 Fair? Yep. 57 00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:13,420 Yeah, I got it. 58 00:02:13,420 --> 00:02:17,060 Okay. All right. So we're doing a special edition today. We 59 00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:19,740 actually have two people on. I'm going to 60 00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:22,340 have Bill. Now you've heard Bill's story in the past. 61 00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:24,460 Amazing transformation, but he's been working 62 00:02:24,460 --> 00:02:26,580 closely with Corey. So we're going to have him tell us a 63 00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:28,540 little bit about our guest today. And so I'm 64 00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:30,770 going to bring him out right now. Mr. Bill Predoban, take 65 00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:31,260 it away. 66 00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:36,060 Hey, you got me loud and clear. Yep. Go for it. That's 67 00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:37,900 awesome. Thanks for the opportunity. 68 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,820 Fantastic. Great to be here. You guys are inspiring and 69 00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:43,260 hilarious. You got your own little talk show 70 00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:45,530 going. It's kind of funny to see you guys go back and forth 71 00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:49,100 . I'm jealous. I'm not a part of it, but I'm 72 00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,940 glad I'm here as a special guest today. So my story is not 73 00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:55,740 important. What's important is the person I'm 74 00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:58,670 going to introduce you to, and she is going to share her 75 00:02:58,670 --> 00:03:00,700 and her husband's journey over the last couple 76 00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:04,420 of years or so. I was fortunate enough you guys to meet her 77 00:03:04,420 --> 00:03:07,020 through my real estate investing community 78 00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:10,170 that we have in Phoenix, which of course Scott alluded to 79 00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:12,860 setting up, you know, buildings like this and 80 00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:16,110 offices all across the country in most major cities and 81 00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:19,260 just all over all 50 United States. And so Corey 82 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:22,510 is one of our team members. She's one of our, I don't know 83 00:03:22,510 --> 00:03:25,660 what I'm saying, one of our, one of our, 84 00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:28,630 investing partners, if you will. And, and I got the 85 00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:31,500 opportunity to meet her just over two years ago. 86 00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:34,130 And one of the things that sticks out with Corey and I can 87 00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:35,980 't wait for her to share stories is, 88 00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:41,010 you know, when we, when we started working together, she, 89 00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:44,060 um, she had the biggest goals on a, 90 00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:48,290 on a piece of paper. And naturally my mindset is an hour 91 00:03:48,290 --> 00:03:51,820 mindset. I'm taught you're, you guys are, 92 00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:55,710 you know, bring this on us all is just, you know, the sky 93 00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:58,060 is the limit. There is no limit. There's no 94 00:03:58,060 --> 00:04:01,070 limiting beliefs. And, you know, who am I to tell Corey 95 00:04:01,070 --> 00:04:03,500 what she can and can't accomplish. So I was 96 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:07,400 excited. I was excited to see her, her goals that were, you 97 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,420 know, huge goals and, and, and, and, 98 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:11,830 you know, her husband is interested in, I won't share, you 99 00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:13,660 know, tell her story, but getting out of 100 00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:16,590 his position and worried about his position, even though he 101 00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:19,340 's got a fantastic, uh, career. And, um, 102 00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:23,670 and so, you know, she may have fallen short on, on a goal 103 00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:26,140 or two, but I will tell you when you hear 104 00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:29,290 her story in her first year and then her second year in her 105 00:04:29,290 --> 00:04:31,900 real estate, uh, not 10 years down the road, 106 00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:35,390 but in a very short, long period of time, um, what she was 107 00:04:35,390 --> 00:04:37,820 able to accomplish. And so, you know, 108 00:04:37,820 --> 00:04:40,990 one of the things that my team, um, and, and our, my 109 00:04:40,990 --> 00:04:44,140 investment partners notice about Corey is, 110 00:04:44,140 --> 00:04:47,650 is her drive and her desire and her never willingness to 111 00:04:47,650 --> 00:04:50,300 quit and, um, never having a 112 00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:54,480 willingness to quit and, and just, uh, you know, her, her 113 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,940 ability to just keep moving. And I'm sure 114 00:04:56,940 --> 00:04:59,430 she'll share that with you. So I'm excited to bring out 115 00:04:59,430 --> 00:05:01,980 Corey Bahar. She's a true friend of mine. Um, 116 00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:04,910 we spent a lot of time in the beginning and it's so funny. 117 00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:07,820 Um, you know, one of the things that's so 118 00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:11,370 powerful is when people are, are humble enough and willing 119 00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:14,060 enough and, and, and, and able enough to 120 00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:17,450 just ask for a little bit of help, but within a very short 121 00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:20,220 period of time, she stopped texting. 122 00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:23,140 She stopped calling as much. She stopped and she was out 123 00:05:23,140 --> 00:05:25,020 doing it on her own. And that's the 124 00:05:25,020 --> 00:05:27,530 transformation that we helped was we just have a hand up 125 00:05:27,530 --> 00:05:29,980 and pretty soon, uh, the people we work 126 00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:32,350 with all across the country, we exceed what we're even 127 00:05:32,350 --> 00:05:34,540 doing. So Corey with that Corey Bahar, everybody, 128 00:05:34,540 --> 00:05:37,090 give it up and listen to this story, take some notes, and I 129 00:05:37,090 --> 00:05:39,260 'm just super excited to hear about it. 130 00:05:39,260 --> 00:05:43,310 Welcome Corey. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, everybody. Oh my 131 00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:44,700 gosh, Bill. Thank you. 132 00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:47,680 That was an amazing introduction. Um, it really kind of 133 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,140 puts things in perspective from, you know, that 134 00:05:50,140 --> 00:05:53,960 reminder of where we started just a few years ago, but a 135 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,100 real brief background of my husband, Ron and I, 136 00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,720 he is actually sitting over here working beside me in the 137 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,220 office. Um, we were investors 138 00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:09,930 unsuccessfully for many, many years. Um, you know, we didn 139 00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:15,340 't know what we didn't know. And every market we 140 00:06:15,340 --> 00:06:19,160 ended up relocating to, we would be like, okay, we're going 141 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,060 to invest, you know, our friends are investing. 142 00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:24,430 And, you know, we just kind of surrounded ourselves with 143 00:06:24,430 --> 00:06:26,380 investors, not knowing that was the case. 144 00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:32,370 And, uh, every market something happened and we never came 145 00:06:32,370 --> 00:06:35,420 out on top, you know, enough to call it a win. 146 00:06:36,220 --> 00:06:40,140 And, uh, we lost in a lot of markets. We lost in the downt 147 00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:43,500 urn. You know, we had rental properties and we 148 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:46,430 have all the horror stories that we could share. But, uh, 149 00:06:46,430 --> 00:06:49,580 when we got to Arizona, again, we found ourselves 150 00:06:49,580 --> 00:06:53,450 kind of surrounded by investors and we started asking, you 151 00:06:53,450 --> 00:06:56,620 know, okay, what's different. What's 152 00:06:56,620 --> 00:06:58,860 different about your situation? Because they had similar 153 00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:02,300 backgrounds, you know, circumstances happened. 154 00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:05,780 They lost money. They made a little money. They lost jobs. 155 00:07:05,780 --> 00:07:08,220 You know, it's just the way the market rolls. 156 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:13,850 And, uh, unfortunately we were able to have a very, very 157 00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:17,980 long conversation with Bill at one point, 158 00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:21,550 three hours, if I recall correctly, Bill, uh, sitting at 159 00:07:21,550 --> 00:07:24,620 our dining room table. And, uh, as we were being 160 00:07:24,620 --> 00:07:29,040 introduced to the community and the education and the 161 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,460 support that it provides for us, and we attended 162 00:07:34,460 --> 00:07:37,440 several events that piqued our interest and our curiosity. 163 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,500 It's like, okay, this is different. 164 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,470 This is different than anything we've heard before, seen 165 00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:46,860 before, you know, this community, they, they 166 00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:50,380 really seemed to care. And, um, it took Bill, like I said, 167 00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:53,420 three hours sitting at our dining room table, answering 168 00:07:53,420 --> 00:07:59,650 a lot of questions and helping us realize that we were, we 169 00:07:59,650 --> 00:08:02,860 were going to be able to reach our goals. We were 170 00:08:02,860 --> 00:08:06,820 going to be able to do what we set out to do. And we had 171 00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:10,700 goals of getting my husband retired by 50, which is 172 00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:14,690 this year, um, retired to the point that he doesn't 173 00:08:14,690 --> 00:08:16,700 necessarily have to work. 174 00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:20,860 Um, I'm not sure we're going to hit that goal specifically, 175 00:08:20,860 --> 00:08:22,620 but we're shooting for it. And if some 176 00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:25,520 things that we have in the works play out, uh, that's still 177 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,820 a definite possibility for us. But, um, our first 178 00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:34,990 year in the community, like Bill said, I was texting him 179 00:08:34,990 --> 00:08:39,100 practically every day, nonstop. He, he definitely had some 180 00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:43,800 serious patience in answering me, um, because I was, I was 181 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,660 a pest. I absolutely was. And, um, we did a 182 00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:49,900 couple of wholesale deals. There were supposed to be flips, 183 00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:51,180 but it didn't work out that way. 184 00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:55,050 Um, so we took the quick win. We took the whole sales and 185 00:08:55,050 --> 00:08:59,980 moved on. We had, um, some very, very large 186 00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:05,800 goals for 2019 and, um, we fell a little short, but that's 187 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,420 okay. Right. You make those big, hairy, scary 188 00:09:09,420 --> 00:09:12,670 goals and, uh, hope that you hit them. And if you don't, 189 00:09:12,670 --> 00:09:15,100 you just circle back around and refocus for the 190 00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:19,240 next year. And as luck would have it, the end of 2019, we 191 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,700 were able to purchase three rental properties 192 00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,940 well under market value. And, uh, one of them was a duplex. 193 00:09:26,940 --> 00:09:30,940 It was an Airbnb. COVID came around in 194 00:09:30,940 --> 00:09:33,970 Jan, you know, early 2020 and put a screeching halt to all 195 00:09:33,970 --> 00:09:36,540 of that. So we had to change our strategy quick 196 00:09:36,540 --> 00:09:40,120 and make those long-term rentals. We were able to collect 197 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,980 rents. And during COVID, and for the most part, 198 00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:46,950 we had a couple of months that we had a tenant with an 199 00:09:46,950 --> 00:09:51,980 issue, but, um, they took and took things in their 200 00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:56,540 own hands and put a plan in place to get everything taken 201 00:09:56,540 --> 00:10:01,100 care of. And then in December of 2020, we 202 00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:04,780 actually sold all of those properties to, uh, capture the 203 00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:08,940 additional equity that we had. And we actually 204 00:10:08,940 --> 00:10:13,400 had an 85% profit in a year. Obviously that's not a very 205 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,220 typical result. You know, most people don't see 206 00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:20,120 those kinds of results. Um, Tell us, what does that mean? 207 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,300 What does 85% profit mean? So we were able to 208 00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:28,230 recapture all of our investment plus 85% profit on the 209 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:32,940 sales. Oh, gotcha. Wow. I've got a question. I got a 210 00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:32,940 question. 211 00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:37,890 Yeah. Okay. So I, I, I'm, this is going to be good because 212 00:10:37,890 --> 00:10:40,060 we use these recordings for people that might 213 00:10:40,060 --> 00:10:42,980 have a situation. Right. So somebody listening to this 214 00:10:42,980 --> 00:10:45,180 might say, oh man, I know exactly who to send 215 00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:49,300 this to. So the difference is like you'd done, you, you, 216 00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:52,220 you'd attempted real estate. It seems like you had 217 00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:54,430 some stick activity around that, right? Like this is going 218 00:10:54,430 --> 00:10:56,780 to be the way to go. Right. Absolutely. 219 00:10:56,780 --> 00:11:00,210 Judging on against that wind. But what's the difference? If 220 00:11:00,210 --> 00:11:02,620 you could give me bullet points, 221 00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:04,470 just bullet points of difference between what you'd 222 00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:06,620 experienced before, because you said it, you're like, 223 00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:09,280 there's something different going on here versus what's 224 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,740 going on here in this community. Can you bullet point 225 00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:17,770 that for me? Oh, absolutely. I can tell you 100% that the 226 00:11:17,770 --> 00:11:22,060 difference for us was the community and having 227 00:11:22,060 --> 00:11:26,580 the support of mentors, leaders, coaches, and successful 228 00:11:26,580 --> 00:11:29,420 people like yourselves that we can follow 229 00:11:29,420 --> 00:11:31,870 in your footsteps. And if we have a question, we can reach 230 00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:33,660 out to you. And I know I've reached out to 231 00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:37,900 both of you guys in the past as well. And I mean, you didn 232 00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:40,860 't know who I was. It was just a random text and 233 00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:44,350 you answered me and helped me when I needed help. And I'm 234 00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:46,700 very appreciative. And I'm very thankful for 235 00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:50,900 that. Because honestly, that was the missing piece for us 236 00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:53,740 is not having anyone who could answer 237 00:11:54,540 --> 00:11:59,320 the questions and not having the resources available that 238 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,300 we didn't know we needed and learning what that 239 00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:08,120 was and what that looks like to be successful. And it's 240 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,580 truly made a significant difference. And I can tell you 241 00:12:11,580 --> 00:12:12,700 that 2021 242 00:12:13,260 --> 00:12:18,220 is shaping up to be two or even three times better than 243 00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:19,740 2020 for us. 244 00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:23,420 So are you doing more flips or you're doing more rentals? 245 00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:25,020 Tell us what your focus is. 246 00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:32,130 So right now we have four flips in the works. And Bill and 247 00:12:32,130 --> 00:12:38,460 I are evaluating a large multifamily flip in 248 00:12:38,460 --> 00:12:43,360 Indianapolis that we're working on as well. Wow. Okay. And 249 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,860 go ahead, Scott. 250 00:12:44,860 --> 00:12:47,790 Oh, go ahead, Scott. Yeah. So another question that as you 251 00:12:47,790 --> 00:12:50,540 were speaking, I wrote down. I'm getting better 252 00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:54,040 at this, Michael, aren't I? I'm actually taking notes. I'm 253 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,740 growing too. All right. So you said, 254 00:12:58,460 --> 00:13:01,590 I had some huge goals, some very large goals. You said 255 00:13:01,590 --> 00:13:04,700 large, I had some very large goals in 2019. 256 00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:07,160 And what did you actually, what were the, what were those 257 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,940 goals? Like there may be some people on the 258 00:13:08,940 --> 00:13:11,710 line here that are like, Hey, I have those same kind of 259 00:13:11,710 --> 00:13:14,300 goals. What, what were yours like? And then what 260 00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:18,290 did you actually hit when you talked about it? Yeah. So, um 261 00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:21,340 , some of our goals were to make our first 262 00:13:21,340 --> 00:13:26,510 hundred thousand dollar profit in, uh, real estate. And we 263 00:13:26,510 --> 00:13:29,740 didn't make that in cash. However, we did make 264 00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:33,970 that in equity. Okay. So we, in 2019, we did capture, which 265 00:13:33,970 --> 00:13:36,700 was our first full year. Uh, we joined at the 266 00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:41,300 end of 2018 is when we were introduced to the community. 267 00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:44,940 And in 2019, we did get over a hundred thousand 268 00:13:44,940 --> 00:13:48,860 dollars in equity. Yeah. And along with- Well, you became 269 00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:50,700 worth more than a hundred thousand dollars then, 270 00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:54,520 right? Exactly. I always say that. And I want to say this 271 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,660 on the line because you brought it up 272 00:13:56,220 --> 00:13:58,600 because the minute you sign on docs, the easiest way to 273 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,420 become a millionaire in America isn't to make 274 00:14:01,420 --> 00:14:03,540 the money. Like you're suggesting like, Oh, they make a 275 00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:05,660 hundred thousand dollars, right? These is not 276 00:14:05,660 --> 00:14:07,880 to earn or save it. The easiest way to become a millionaire 277 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,260 in America is to do exactly what you 278 00:14:09,260 --> 00:14:12,260 talked about. Close on it, right? Closing on a million 279 00:14:12,260 --> 00:14:14,620 dollars, like signing docs and going, Oh, look, 280 00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:18,010 I'm look, I just became $20,000 worth $20,000 more on this 281 00:14:18,010 --> 00:14:20,620 house. And then fit 45 in this house. Oh, 282 00:14:20,620 --> 00:14:24,090 look, 67 on this house. Right. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm glad 283 00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:25,900 you, I'm glad you see that as a win because 284 00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:28,510 a lot of people like, Oh, I just need cash. But I mean, 285 00:14:28,510 --> 00:14:31,420 longevity of this game is, uh, is, is not what 286 00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:34,810 you make. It's what you, what you're worth. Absolutely. 287 00:14:34,810 --> 00:14:36,860 Absolutely. And I see somebody in the 288 00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:39,810 chat box asked if it was a 20, 1031 exchange and they were 289 00:14:39,810 --> 00:14:43,100 not actually 1031 exchanges. Um, all of those 290 00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:47,500 properties were held in our solo 401k, which we had no idea 291 00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:50,860 that that was even a possibility until we met 292 00:14:50,860 --> 00:14:54,470 you guys and, uh, went to some of the workshops that are 293 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:57,740 offered. We were like, Hey, what's this? 294 00:14:57,740 --> 00:15:01,330 This is an interesting strategy. And, uh, we were able to 295 00:15:01,330 --> 00:15:05,740 capture all of that profit in the, uh, solo 296 00:15:05,740 --> 00:15:09,170 401k that we have. And therefore it's tax-free and we didn 297 00:15:09,170 --> 00:15:11,340 't have to identify another property. And we 298 00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:15,180 were able to quickly switch strategies and flow with the 299 00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:19,500 market. And that's control. It is. That's 300 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,540 what this is about. So, and that's a good point too, 301 00:15:21,540 --> 00:15:23,740 because you had already been doing deals before 302 00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:27,300 for several years to, to then find out something as 303 00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:30,620 powerful as retirement accounts, combining with real 304 00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:34,010 estate and, you know, being able to open up that whole new 305 00:15:34,010 --> 00:15:36,460 world. So way to stay coachable. And that's 306 00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:40,390 one of the keys to success here. Yeah. And it's thank you. 307 00:15:40,390 --> 00:15:43,740 And we learn, you know, I'm on calls like 308 00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:47,390 this every single day with you guys. And, uh, I listened to 309 00:15:47,390 --> 00:15:50,380 both of you in the morning. So I double up. I have 310 00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:53,770 two hours of calls in the morning, most morning and because 311 00:15:53,770 --> 00:15:56,460 of the time difference. And, uh, it's pretty 312 00:15:56,460 --> 00:16:00,550 awesome to be able to learn from, from everybody around the 313 00:16:00,550 --> 00:16:03,740 country. I mean, I've reached out to people 314 00:16:03,740 --> 00:16:08,430 even in Hawaii and Alaska because we've had interesting, uh 315 00:16:08,430 --> 00:16:12,780 , things that are, um, you know, brought our way 316 00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:15,040 that cross our desk and we're like, Hey, all right, well, 317 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,660 what's this area like? I don't know those areas. 318 00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:20,270 So it's nice to be able to have community members and 319 00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:22,060 support to be able to reach out to. 320 00:16:22,060 --> 00:16:24,780 Yeah. And did it for me too. 321 00:16:26,380 --> 00:16:27,340 Definitely hear you there. 322 00:16:29,020 --> 00:16:33,360 Um, so had you bought or enrolled in other program, real 323 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,780 estate trainings, were you like, 324 00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:37,420 tell us like, were you reading books or were you just kind 325 00:16:37,420 --> 00:16:39,100 of going off neighbor rumors? What were 326 00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:39,500 you doing? 327 00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:43,340 No, we just kind of winged it. You know, we were going our 328 00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:45,580 own way. Yeah. Oh yeah. You're right. 329 00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:50,300 That's the right expression. For sure. It was like, oh, um, 330 00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,620 we knew that going to these weekend seminars, 331 00:16:52,620 --> 00:16:56,100 that they were not what we were looking for. Um, we knew 332 00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:59,180 people who had gone through them. And for us, 333 00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:01,190 we knew that that was not the right way. That was not the 334 00:17:01,190 --> 00:17:01,980 right path for us. 335 00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:06,940 And, uh, so we were just learning from others, you know, 336 00:17:06,940 --> 00:17:09,100 following other people's paths. But the 337 00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:13,180 problem is when you follow random people who learned from 338 00:17:13,180 --> 00:17:16,140 random people, you don't always get all the 339 00:17:16,140 --> 00:17:19,410 pieces that you need to be successful. Yes. There are 340 00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:24,460 several pieces. And, you know, unless that 341 00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:30,130 those random people happen to be very knowledgeable and 342 00:17:30,130 --> 00:17:34,300 able to give you your, uh, you know, all the 343 00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:37,550 tax information that you need and, you know, all of the, 344 00:17:37,550 --> 00:17:40,780 like the solo 401k information that we didn't 345 00:17:40,780 --> 00:17:44,600 know about or self-directed IRA or, you know, all the 346 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,060 little pieces, the contracts and, you know, 347 00:17:48,060 --> 00:17:51,220 you just, you don't know off market property. I never heard 348 00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:53,180 of that before. How do you buy a property 349 00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:57,000 without a realtor? I didn't know. Yeah. We bought all our 350 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,820 stuff from a realtor. That's what we knew. 351 00:18:00,540 --> 00:18:03,930 And so you don't know what you don't know. Sorry. Exactly. 352 00:18:03,930 --> 00:18:04,700 Exactly. 353 00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:07,220 What was your previous career before getting into real 354 00:18:07,220 --> 00:18:07,740 estate? 355 00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:13,710 Jack of all trades, a master of none. So I worked in the 356 00:18:13,710 --> 00:18:17,420 engineering field for a while. I worked in the 357 00:18:17,420 --> 00:18:22,780 legal field for a while. Um, I was, uh, entrepreneur, had 358 00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:24,780 several different businesses, 359 00:18:25,420 --> 00:18:29,840 MLM businesses, not the way to go. MLMs are, uh, some of 360 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,380 them, I guess, if you get in at the right 361 00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:35,130 time, they can be very, very successful, which is another 362 00:18:35,130 --> 00:18:37,100 reason why I really like you guys, because 363 00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:40,870 I hear, you know, the guru things and they're like, Oh, you 364 00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:45,020 know, it's this MLM or that MLM and you know, 365 00:18:45,020 --> 00:18:48,540 all their marketing crap that they do. And, um, we're just, 366 00:18:48,540 --> 00:18:51,420 they're, it's not here. You know, 367 00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:55,760 there's no pushes to be more than you want to be. And now 368 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,860 we take the real estate and we become 369 00:18:58,860 --> 00:19:02,110 successful with it. And that's, that's what I love doing 370 00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:05,740 with you guys. What's your husband do? He is an 371 00:19:05,740 --> 00:19:12,780 engineer. There you go. Like Michael. Engineering together. 372 00:19:12,780 --> 00:19:18,380 Nice. Well, cool. So, so you, so to recap 373 00:19:18,380 --> 00:19:20,870 this whole thing, you basically were bumping your head 374 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:22,860 against the wall for years, losing money. 375 00:19:22,860 --> 00:19:26,250 Absolutely. You never lost the passion to take control of 376 00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:28,380 your life. And then you finally bumped 377 00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:30,860 into someone inside of our community. You saw the 378 00:19:30,860 --> 00:19:33,340 difference and now things have just exploded for you 379 00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:37,490 in a big way. Absolutely. Way to go. Not giving up. Cause I 380 00:19:37,490 --> 00:19:38,780 know some people after one deal, 381 00:19:38,780 --> 00:19:42,030 they would just give up. So yeah, that's not my nature, 382 00:19:42,030 --> 00:19:44,460 fortunately, or unfortunately, not sure. 383 00:19:47,420 --> 00:19:50,590 Nice. Well, cool. Well, this is exciting. And, um, and so 384 00:19:50,590 --> 00:19:53,020 future is looking bright. Bring your sunglasses. 385 00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:57,340 Okay. So let's say, let's say you had, so somebody on the 386 00:19:57,340 --> 00:19:59,500 line here is hearing this for the first time. 387 00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:03,100 So let me just sent this out, um, to an engineer out there. 388 00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,020 Right. So I've got an engineer friend that 389 00:20:05,020 --> 00:20:08,410 should hear from an engineer. So, uh, what's your advice? 390 00:20:08,410 --> 00:20:11,100 Like speak, speak, engineer speak. What do you like about 391 00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:11,340 this 392 00:20:12,140 --> 00:20:15,070 program as a person or your, your husband's an engineer? 393 00:20:15,070 --> 00:20:16,780 You, you tend to be that type of person 394 00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:19,710 right now. So as an engineer, as an intellect, what do you 395 00:20:19,710 --> 00:20:23,580 love about it? I love that it's systematic. 396 00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:28,180 And that for us is very important because we thrive on 397 00:20:28,180 --> 00:20:31,420 systems and, and functionality, but it doesn't 398 00:20:31,420 --> 00:20:35,040 have to be systematic. So, um, we have friends in the 399 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,140 community who do not have that same mindset. 400 00:20:38,140 --> 00:20:41,290 And it's, they're still just as successful because you get 401 00:20:41,290 --> 00:20:44,540 to learn through your own style and connect with 402 00:20:44,540 --> 00:20:48,480 people who are like-minded. And because our community is 403 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,420 comprised of so many different people from so many 404 00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:54,350 different backgrounds, there's always somebody who can help 405 00:20:54,350 --> 00:20:58,300 you understand what you need. If, you know, like if 406 00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:00,910 Michael can't explain it to me in, in ways that I 407 00:21:00,910 --> 00:21:04,300 understand, I can call Scott and he'll explain it to me, 408 00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:04,380 you 409 00:21:04,380 --> 00:21:10,060 know, or Bill. Yeah. Good options. Maybe. All right. So 410 00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,220 here's what I love. Here's what, let me just 411 00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:14,720 clarify that for a second. Everybody's benefiting from the 412 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,780 system. They just might not see that as the 413 00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:18,600 reason, right? Like you see it as the reason you're 414 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,700 successful. There's definitely a system here. 415 00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:22,990 There's definitely, even my wife who's a relator and loves 416 00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:25,900 people is benefiting from a system. She uses them 417 00:21:25,900 --> 00:21:28,840 to put together big parties and regionals. So, but it's not 418 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,500 the, it's not, it's not what, what she enjoys about it. 419 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,920 Right. The reason I'm asking you is because as an intellect 420 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,740 or an engineer, you know, I knew that 421 00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:38,990 there's the answer for you. It was system, right? I mean, 422 00:21:38,990 --> 00:21:41,180 the classes for me were paint by numbers, 423 00:21:41,180 --> 00:21:43,790 like, Hey, do this and then do this and then do this and 424 00:21:43,790 --> 00:21:45,340 then do this. And then, you know, 425 00:21:45,340 --> 00:21:47,730 and then, and then I can just hop on coaching to add to the 426 00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:48,860 system. So, yeah. 427 00:21:48,860 --> 00:21:52,740 You got the system unbeatable and it's working around the 428 00:21:52,740 --> 00:21:55,100 country.
