[00:00:00.000 to 00:00:02,930] All right. Welcome, folks, to another edition of our Zoom
[00:00:02.930 to 00:00:04,680] Up. It's our meetup on Zoom. My name is
[00:00:04.680 to 00:00:06,880] Michael Huggins coming to you live from Tennessee. I got my
[00:00:06.880 to 00:00:08,640] co-host out of Chicago. What's up, Scott?
[00:00:08.920 to 00:00:11,210] Lucky to be here. Lucky to be here. I'm just hooking the
[00:00:11.210 to 00:00:13,200] wagon to the phenom. Michael Huggins.
[00:00:13.240 to 00:00:15,640] Yes, we got some great stuff happening. So, folks, we are
[00:00:15.640 to 00:00:17,320] bringing you this video series to
[00:00:17.320 to 00:00:20,330] inspire you and take your life and transform it from a life
[00:00:20.330 to 00:00:22,140] of default to a life of design.
[00:00:22.680 to 00:00:25,130] We have an amazing library of past videos, and the idea
[00:00:25.130 to 00:00:27,220] behind this is you can take control of
[00:00:27.220 to 00:00:30,220] your life. If you get educated, surround yourself with the
[00:00:30.220 to 00:00:31,940] right people and get focused in real
[00:00:31.940 to 00:00:34,590] estate and entrepreneurship. Take back control of your life
[00:00:34.590 to 00:00:36,660] . It happened for me. I was working at
[00:00:36.660 to 00:00:39,910] Jiffy Loop making about $20,000 a year. I met this group in
[00:00:39.910 to 00:00:41,700] my first deal. I made more money than
[00:00:41.700 to 00:00:45,670] I made $21,000. That was more than my entire year at that
[00:00:45.670 to 00:00:48,040] stupid job, and I haven't had a job since.
[00:00:48.160 to 00:00:50,640] It's been 10 years, done a lot of more deals, but today's
[00:00:50.640 to 00:00:52,380] not about me. It's about a student that
[00:00:52.380 to 00:00:56,090] we're featuring. Scott, give the folks a little bit of your
[00:00:56.090 to 00:00:57,100] background.
[00:00:57.100 to 00:01:00,610] Scott Pellet: Yeah, I wasn't making 10 times that actually.
[00:01:00.610 to 00:01:03,340] I was making $21,000. $21,000 was my last
[00:01:03.340 to 00:01:08,730] job. $212,000 a year. And the paradigm shift was technology
[00:01:08.730 to 00:01:11,100] . So they started selling stuff off the
[00:01:11.100 to 00:01:13,190] internet. They didn't need me running four states full of
[00:01:13.190 to 00:01:15,740] sales guys. I'm like, "See you later." I met my wife in
[00:01:15.740 to 00:01:19,280] that company. So we both lost our jobs in 2005. And then
[00:01:19.280 to 00:01:21,580] two years later, we found this group having
[00:01:21.580 to 00:01:24,250] lost everything. And everything's changed. We have now
[00:01:24.250 to 00:01:27,420] helped over 15,000 people all over the country,
[00:01:27.420 to 00:01:29,710] helped open up 26 of these buildings, helping people do
[00:01:29.710 to 00:01:32,380] real estate around the country. And it's been
[00:01:32.380 to 00:01:33,500] fantastic. Scott Pellet:
[00:01:33.500 to 00:01:36,750] It is so much fun to be able to watch people use this
[00:01:36.750 to 00:01:38,620] process and change their lives. So we're bringing
[00:01:38.620 to 00:01:40,910] you another story. If you want to go watch, we've got
[00:01:40.910 to 00:01:43,420] another 90 plus episodes in the library. Go check those
[00:01:43.420 to 00:01:45,410] out. And then for those of you who are wanting to learn
[00:01:45.410 to 00:01:46,780] more, you're going to get back with the
[00:01:46.780 to 00:01:49,710] person who invited you here and request access to... We
[00:01:49.710 to 00:01:51,820] have an intro coming up. We have a live house
[00:01:51.820 to 00:01:54,020] tour coming up where you can see, walk through the deals of
[00:01:54.020 to 00:01:55,660] the students that are working with us.
[00:01:55.660 to 00:01:57,800] And then we also have a couple of workshops coming up.
[00:01:57.800 to 00:01:59,500] Either one of those, there's some recordings,
[00:01:59.500 to 00:02:01,450] but if you can get to the live ones too, that's also very
[00:02:01.450 to 00:02:03,740] important. And then just as a side note,
[00:02:03.740 to 00:02:07,130] real estate is risky folks. So you need to dot your I's,
[00:02:07.130 to 00:02:07,980] cross your T's,
[00:02:07.980 to 00:02:09,660] surround yourself with professionals, because if you don't,
[00:02:09.660 to 00:02:10,540] you could lose a lot of money.
[00:02:10.540 to 00:02:13,020] Fair? Yep.
[00:02:13.020 to 00:02:13,420] Yeah, I got it.
[00:02:13.420 to 00:02:17,060] Okay. All right. So we're doing a special edition today. We
[00:02:17.060 to 00:02:19,740] actually have two people on. I'm going to
[00:02:19.740 to 00:02:22,340] have Bill. Now you've heard Bill's story in the past.
[00:02:22.340 to 00:02:24,460] Amazing transformation, but he's been working
[00:02:24.460 to 00:02:26,580] closely with Corey. So we're going to have him tell us a
[00:02:26.580 to 00:02:28,540] little bit about our guest today. And so I'm
[00:02:28.540 to 00:02:30,770] going to bring him out right now. Mr. Bill Predoban, take
[00:02:30.770 to 00:02:31,260] it away.
[00:02:31.260 to 00:02:36,060] Hey, you got me loud and clear. Yep. Go for it. That's
[00:02:36.060 to 00:02:37,900] awesome. Thanks for the opportunity.
[00:02:37.900 to 00:02:40,820] Fantastic. Great to be here. You guys are inspiring and
[00:02:40.820 to 00:02:43,260] hilarious. You got your own little talk show
[00:02:43.260 to 00:02:45,530] going. It's kind of funny to see you guys go back and forth
[00:02:45.530 to 00:02:49,100] . I'm jealous. I'm not a part of it, but I'm
[00:02:49.100 to 00:02:52,940] glad I'm here as a special guest today. So my story is not
[00:02:52.940 to 00:02:55,740] important. What's important is the person I'm
[00:02:55.740 to 00:02:58,670] going to introduce you to, and she is going to share her
[00:02:58.670 to 00:03:00,700] and her husband's journey over the last couple
[00:03:00.700 to 00:03:04,420] of years or so. I was fortunate enough you guys to meet her
[00:03:04.420 to 00:03:07,020] through my real estate investing community
[00:03:07.020 to 00:03:10,170] that we have in Phoenix, which of course Scott alluded to
[00:03:10.170 to 00:03:12,860] setting up, you know, buildings like this and
[00:03:12.860 to 00:03:16,110] offices all across the country in most major cities and
[00:03:16.110 to 00:03:19,260] just all over all 50 United States. And so Corey
[00:03:19.260 to 00:03:22,510] is one of our team members. She's one of our, I don't know
[00:03:22.510 to 00:03:25,660] what I'm saying, one of our, one of our,
[00:03:26.380 to 00:03:28,630] investing partners, if you will. And, and I got the
[00:03:28.630 to 00:03:31,500] opportunity to meet her just over two years ago.
[00:03:31.500 to 00:03:34,130] And one of the things that sticks out with Corey and I can
[00:03:34.130 to 00:03:35,980] 't wait for her to share stories is,
[00:03:36.940 to 00:03:41,010] you know, when we, when we started working together, she,
[00:03:41.010 to 00:03:44,060] um, she had the biggest goals on a,
[00:03:44.060 to 00:03:48,290] on a piece of paper. And naturally my mindset is an hour
[00:03:48.290 to 00:03:51,820] mindset. I'm taught you're, you guys are,
[00:03:51.820 to 00:03:55,710] you know, bring this on us all is just, you know, the sky
[00:03:55.710 to 00:03:58,060] is the limit. There is no limit. There's no
[00:03:58.060 to 00:04:01,070] limiting beliefs. And, you know, who am I to tell Corey
[00:04:01.070 to 00:04:03,500] what she can and can't accomplish. So I was
[00:04:03.500 to 00:04:07,400] excited. I was excited to see her, her goals that were, you
[00:04:07.400 to 00:04:09,420] know, huge goals and, and, and, and,
[00:04:09.420 to 00:04:11,830] you know, her husband is interested in, I won't share, you
[00:04:11.830 to 00:04:13,660] know, tell her story, but getting out of
[00:04:13.660 to 00:04:16,590] his position and worried about his position, even though he
[00:04:16.590 to 00:04:19,340] 's got a fantastic, uh, career. And, um,
[00:04:20.060 to 00:04:23,670] and so, you know, she may have fallen short on, on a goal
[00:04:23.670 to 00:04:26,140] or two, but I will tell you when you hear
[00:04:26.140 to 00:04:29,290] her story in her first year and then her second year in her
[00:04:29.290 to 00:04:31,900] real estate, uh, not 10 years down the road,
[00:04:31.900 to 00:04:35,390] but in a very short, long period of time, um, what she was
[00:04:35.390 to 00:04:37,820] able to accomplish. And so, you know,
[00:04:37.820 to 00:04:40,990] one of the things that my team, um, and, and our, my
[00:04:40.990 to 00:04:44,140] investment partners notice about Corey is,
[00:04:44.140 to 00:04:47,650] is her drive and her desire and her never willingness to
[00:04:47.650 to 00:04:50,300] quit and, um, never having a
[00:04:50.300 to 00:04:54,480] willingness to quit and, and just, uh, you know, her, her
[00:04:54.480 to 00:04:56,940] ability to just keep moving. And I'm sure
[00:04:56.940 to 00:04:59,430] she'll share that with you. So I'm excited to bring out
[00:04:59.430 to 00:05:01,980] Corey Bahar. She's a true friend of mine. Um,
[00:05:01.980 to 00:05:04,910] we spent a lot of time in the beginning and it's so funny.
[00:05:04.910 to 00:05:07,820] Um, you know, one of the things that's so
[00:05:07.820 to 00:05:11,370] powerful is when people are, are humble enough and willing
[00:05:11.370 to 00:05:14,060] enough and, and, and, and able enough to
[00:05:14.060 to 00:05:17,450] just ask for a little bit of help, but within a very short
[00:05:17.450 to 00:05:20,220] period of time, she stopped texting.
[00:05:20.220 to 00:05:23,140] She stopped calling as much. She stopped and she was out
[00:05:23.140 to 00:05:25,020] doing it on her own. And that's the
[00:05:25.020 to 00:05:27,530] transformation that we helped was we just have a hand up
[00:05:27.530 to 00:05:29,980] and pretty soon, uh, the people we work
[00:05:29.980 to 00:05:32,350] with all across the country, we exceed what we're even
[00:05:32.350 to 00:05:34,540] doing. So Corey with that Corey Bahar, everybody,
[00:05:34.540 to 00:05:37,090] give it up and listen to this story, take some notes, and I
[00:05:37.090 to 00:05:39,260] 'm just super excited to hear about it.
[00:05:39.260 to 00:05:43,310] Welcome Corey. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, everybody. Oh my
[00:05:43.310 to 00:05:44,700] gosh, Bill. Thank you.
[00:05:44.700 to 00:05:47,680] That was an amazing introduction. Um, it really kind of
[00:05:47.680 to 00:05:50,140] puts things in perspective from, you know, that
[00:05:50.140 to 00:05:53,960] reminder of where we started just a few years ago, but a
[00:05:53.960 to 00:05:57,100] real brief background of my husband, Ron and I,
[00:05:57.100 to 00:05:59,720] he is actually sitting over here working beside me in the
[00:05:59.720 to 00:06:04,220] office. Um, we were investors
[00:06:04.940 to 00:06:09,930] unsuccessfully for many, many years. Um, you know, we didn
[00:06:09.930 to 00:06:15,340] 't know what we didn't know. And every market we
[00:06:15.340 to 00:06:19,160] ended up relocating to, we would be like, okay, we're going
[00:06:19.160 to 00:06:22,060] to invest, you know, our friends are investing.
[00:06:22.060 to 00:06:24,430] And, you know, we just kind of surrounded ourselves with
[00:06:24.430 to 00:06:26,380] investors, not knowing that was the case.
[00:06:27.020 to 00:06:32,370] And, uh, every market something happened and we never came
[00:06:32.370 to 00:06:35,420] out on top, you know, enough to call it a win.
[00:06:36.220 to 00:06:40,140] And, uh, we lost in a lot of markets. We lost in the downt
[00:06:40.140 to 00:06:43,500] urn. You know, we had rental properties and we
[00:06:43.500 to 00:06:46,430] have all the horror stories that we could share. But, uh,
[00:06:46.430 to 00:06:49,580] when we got to Arizona, again, we found ourselves
[00:06:49.580 to 00:06:53,450] kind of surrounded by investors and we started asking, you
[00:06:53.450 to 00:06:56,620] know, okay, what's different. What's
[00:06:56.620 to 00:06:58,860] different about your situation? Because they had similar
[00:06:58.860 to 00:07:02,300] backgrounds, you know, circumstances happened.
[00:07:02.300 to 00:07:05,780] They lost money. They made a little money. They lost jobs.
[00:07:05.780 to 00:07:08,220] You know, it's just the way the market rolls.
[00:07:08.700 to 00:07:13,850] And, uh, unfortunately we were able to have a very, very
[00:07:13.850 to 00:07:17,980] long conversation with Bill at one point,
[00:07:18.540 to 00:07:21,550] three hours, if I recall correctly, Bill, uh, sitting at
[00:07:21.550 to 00:07:24,620] our dining room table. And, uh, as we were being
[00:07:24.620 to 00:07:29,040] introduced to the community and the education and the
[00:07:29.040 to 00:07:34,460] support that it provides for us, and we attended
[00:07:34.460 to 00:07:37,440] several events that piqued our interest and our curiosity.
[00:07:37.440 to 00:07:39,500] It's like, okay, this is different.
[00:07:39.500 to 00:07:43,470] This is different than anything we've heard before, seen
[00:07:43.470 to 00:07:46,860] before, you know, this community, they, they
[00:07:46.860 to 00:07:50,380] really seemed to care. And, um, it took Bill, like I said,
[00:07:50.380 to 00:07:53,420] three hours sitting at our dining room table, answering
[00:07:53.420 to 00:07:59,650] a lot of questions and helping us realize that we were, we
[00:07:59.650 to 00:08:02,860] were going to be able to reach our goals. We were
[00:08:02.860 to 00:08:06,820] going to be able to do what we set out to do. And we had
[00:08:06.820 to 00:08:10,700] goals of getting my husband retired by 50, which is
[00:08:10.700 to 00:08:14,690] this year, um, retired to the point that he doesn't
[00:08:14.690 to 00:08:16,700] necessarily have to work.
[00:08:16.860 to 00:08:20,860] Um, I'm not sure we're going to hit that goal specifically,
[00:08:20.860 to 00:08:22,620] but we're shooting for it. And if some
[00:08:22.620 to 00:08:25,520] things that we have in the works play out, uh, that's still
[00:08:25.520 to 00:08:29,820] a definite possibility for us. But, um, our first
[00:08:29.820 to 00:08:34,990] year in the community, like Bill said, I was texting him
[00:08:34.990 to 00:08:39,100] practically every day, nonstop. He, he definitely had some
[00:08:39.100 to 00:08:43,800] serious patience in answering me, um, because I was, I was
[00:08:43.800 to 00:08:47,660] a pest. I absolutely was. And, um, we did a
[00:08:47.660 to 00:08:49,900] couple of wholesale deals. There were supposed to be flips,
[00:08:49.900 to 00:08:51,180] but it didn't work out that way.
[00:08:51.660 to 00:08:55,050] Um, so we took the quick win. We took the whole sales and
[00:08:55.050 to 00:08:59,980] moved on. We had, um, some very, very large
[00:08:59.980 to 00:09:05,800] goals for 2019 and, um, we fell a little short, but that's
[00:09:05.800 to 00:09:09,420] okay. Right. You make those big, hairy, scary
[00:09:09.420 to 00:09:12,670] goals and, uh, hope that you hit them. And if you don't,
[00:09:12.670 to 00:09:15,100] you just circle back around and refocus for the
[00:09:15.100 to 00:09:19,240] next year. And as luck would have it, the end of 2019, we
[00:09:19.240 to 00:09:22,700] were able to purchase three rental properties
[00:09:22.700 to 00:09:26,940] well under market value. And, uh, one of them was a duplex.
[00:09:26.940 to 00:09:30,940] It was an Airbnb. COVID came around in
[00:09:30.940 to 00:09:33,970] Jan, you know, early 2020 and put a screeching halt to all
[00:09:33.970 to 00:09:36,540] of that. So we had to change our strategy quick
[00:09:36.540 to 00:09:40,120] and make those long-term rentals. We were able to collect
[00:09:40.120 to 00:09:43,980] rents. And during COVID, and for the most part,
[00:09:43.980 to 00:09:46,950] we had a couple of months that we had a tenant with an
[00:09:46.950 to 00:09:51,980] issue, but, um, they took and took things in their
[00:09:51.980 to 00:09:56,540] own hands and put a plan in place to get everything taken
[00:09:56.540 to 00:10:01,100] care of. And then in December of 2020, we
[00:10:01.100 to 00:10:04,780] actually sold all of those properties to, uh, capture the
[00:10:04.780 to 00:10:08,940] additional equity that we had. And we actually
[00:10:08.940 to 00:10:13,400] had an 85% profit in a year. Obviously that's not a very
[00:10:13.400 to 00:10:16,220] typical result. You know, most people don't see
[00:10:16.220 to 00:10:20,120] those kinds of results. Um, Tell us, what does that mean?
[00:10:20.120 to 00:10:24,300] What does 85% profit mean? So we were able to
[00:10:24.300 to 00:10:28,230] recapture all of our investment plus 85% profit on the
[00:10:28.230 to 00:10:32,940] sales. Oh, gotcha. Wow. I've got a question. I got a
[00:10:32.940 to 00:10:32,940] question.
[00:10:32.940 to 00:10:37,890] Yeah. Okay. So I, I, I'm, this is going to be good because
[00:10:37.890 to 00:10:40,060] we use these recordings for people that might
[00:10:40.060 to 00:10:42,980] have a situation. Right. So somebody listening to this
[00:10:42.980 to 00:10:45,180] might say, oh man, I know exactly who to send
[00:10:45.180 to 00:10:49,300] this to. So the difference is like you'd done, you, you,
[00:10:49.300 to 00:10:52,220] you'd attempted real estate. It seems like you had
[00:10:52.220 to 00:10:54,430] some stick activity around that, right? Like this is going
[00:10:54.430 to 00:10:56,780] to be the way to go. Right. Absolutely.
[00:10:56.780 to 00:11:00,210] Judging on against that wind. But what's the difference? If
[00:11:00.210 to 00:11:02,620] you could give me bullet points,
[00:11:02.620 to 00:11:04,470] just bullet points of difference between what you'd
[00:11:04.470 to 00:11:06,620] experienced before, because you said it, you're like,
[00:11:06.620 to 00:11:09,280] there's something different going on here versus what's
[00:11:09.280 to 00:11:11,740] going on here in this community. Can you bullet point
[00:11:11.740 to 00:11:17,770] that for me? Oh, absolutely. I can tell you 100% that the
[00:11:17.770 to 00:11:22,060] difference for us was the community and having
[00:11:22.060 to 00:11:26,580] the support of mentors, leaders, coaches, and successful
[00:11:26.580 to 00:11:29,420] people like yourselves that we can follow
[00:11:29.420 to 00:11:31,870] in your footsteps. And if we have a question, we can reach
[00:11:31.870 to 00:11:33,660] out to you. And I know I've reached out to
[00:11:33.660 to 00:11:37,900] both of you guys in the past as well. And I mean, you didn
[00:11:37.900 to 00:11:40,860] 't know who I was. It was just a random text and
[00:11:40.860 to 00:11:44,350] you answered me and helped me when I needed help. And I'm
[00:11:44.350 to 00:11:46,700] very appreciative. And I'm very thankful for
[00:11:46.700 to 00:11:50,900] that. Because honestly, that was the missing piece for us
[00:11:50.900 to 00:11:53,740] is not having anyone who could answer
[00:11:54.540 to 00:11:59,320] the questions and not having the resources available that
[00:11:59.320 to 00:12:04,300] we didn't know we needed and learning what that
[00:12:04.300 to 00:12:08,120] was and what that looks like to be successful. And it's
[00:12:08.120 to 00:12:11,580] truly made a significant difference. And I can tell you
[00:12:11.580 to 00:12:12,700] that 2021
[00:12:13.260 to 00:12:18,220] is shaping up to be two or even three times better than
[00:12:18.220 to 00:12:19,740] 2020 for us.
[00:12:20.860 to 00:12:23,420] So are you doing more flips or you're doing more rentals?
[00:12:23.420 to 00:12:25,020] Tell us what your focus is.
[00:12:25.020 to 00:12:32,130] So right now we have four flips in the works. And Bill and
[00:12:32.130 to 00:12:38,460] I are evaluating a large multifamily flip in
[00:12:38.460 to 00:12:43,360] Indianapolis that we're working on as well. Wow. Okay. And
[00:12:43.360 to 00:12:44,860] go ahead, Scott.
[00:12:44.860 to 00:12:47,790] Oh, go ahead, Scott. Yeah. So another question that as you
[00:12:47.790 to 00:12:50,540] were speaking, I wrote down. I'm getting better
[00:12:50.540 to 00:12:54,040] at this, Michael, aren't I? I'm actually taking notes. I'm
[00:12:54.040 to 00:12:57,740] growing too. All right. So you said,
[00:12:58.460 to 00:13:01,590] I had some huge goals, some very large goals. You said
[00:13:01.590 to 00:13:04,700] large, I had some very large goals in 2019.
[00:13:05.260 to 00:13:07,160] And what did you actually, what were the, what were those
[00:13:07.160 to 00:13:08,940] goals? Like there may be some people on the
[00:13:08.940 to 00:13:11,710] line here that are like, Hey, I have those same kind of
[00:13:11.710 to 00:13:14,300] goals. What, what were yours like? And then what
[00:13:14.300 to 00:13:18,290] did you actually hit when you talked about it? Yeah. So, um
[00:13:18.290 to 00:13:21,340] , some of our goals were to make our first
[00:13:21.340 to 00:13:26,510] hundred thousand dollar profit in, uh, real estate. And we
[00:13:26.510 to 00:13:29,740] didn't make that in cash. However, we did make
[00:13:29.740 to 00:13:33,970] that in equity. Okay. So we, in 2019, we did capture, which
[00:13:33.970 to 00:13:36,700] was our first full year. Uh, we joined at the
[00:13:36.700 to 00:13:41,300] end of 2018 is when we were introduced to the community.
[00:13:41.300 to 00:13:44,940] And in 2019, we did get over a hundred thousand
[00:13:44.940 to 00:13:48,860] dollars in equity. Yeah. And along with- Well, you became
[00:13:48.860 to 00:13:50,700] worth more than a hundred thousand dollars then,
[00:13:50.700 to 00:13:54,520] right? Exactly. I always say that. And I want to say this
[00:13:54.520 to 00:13:55,660] on the line because you brought it up
[00:13:56.220 to 00:13:58,600] because the minute you sign on docs, the easiest way to
[00:13:58.600 to 00:14:01,420] become a millionaire in America isn't to make
[00:14:01.420 to 00:14:03,540] the money. Like you're suggesting like, Oh, they make a
[00:14:03.540 to 00:14:05,660] hundred thousand dollars, right? These is not
[00:14:05.660 to 00:14:07,880] to earn or save it. The easiest way to become a millionaire
[00:14:07.880 to 00:14:09,260] in America is to do exactly what you
[00:14:09.260 to 00:14:12,260] talked about. Close on it, right? Closing on a million
[00:14:12.260 to 00:14:14,620] dollars, like signing docs and going, Oh, look,
[00:14:14.620 to 00:14:18,010] I'm look, I just became $20,000 worth $20,000 more on this
[00:14:18.010 to 00:14:20,620] house. And then fit 45 in this house. Oh,
[00:14:20.620 to 00:14:24,090] look, 67 on this house. Right. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm glad
[00:14:24.090 to 00:14:25,900] you, I'm glad you see that as a win because
[00:14:25.900 to 00:14:28,510] a lot of people like, Oh, I just need cash. But I mean,
[00:14:28.510 to 00:14:31,420] longevity of this game is, uh, is, is not what
[00:14:31.420 to 00:14:34,810] you make. It's what you, what you're worth. Absolutely.
[00:14:34.810 to 00:14:36,860] Absolutely. And I see somebody in the
[00:14:36.860 to 00:14:39,810] chat box asked if it was a 20, 1031 exchange and they were
[00:14:39.810 to 00:14:43,100] not actually 1031 exchanges. Um, all of those
[00:14:43.100 to 00:14:47,500] properties were held in our solo 401k, which we had no idea
[00:14:47.500 to 00:14:50,860] that that was even a possibility until we met
[00:14:50.860 to 00:14:54,470] you guys and, uh, went to some of the workshops that are
[00:14:54.470 to 00:14:57,740] offered. We were like, Hey, what's this?
[00:14:57.740 to 00:15:01,330] This is an interesting strategy. And, uh, we were able to
[00:15:01.330 to 00:15:05,740] capture all of that profit in the, uh, solo
[00:15:05.740 to 00:15:09,170] 401k that we have. And therefore it's tax-free and we didn
[00:15:09.170 to 00:15:11,340] 't have to identify another property. And we
[00:15:11.340 to 00:15:15,180] were able to quickly switch strategies and flow with the
[00:15:15.180 to 00:15:19,500] market. And that's control. It is. That's
[00:15:19.500 to 00:15:21,540] what this is about. So, and that's a good point too,
[00:15:21.540 to 00:15:23,740] because you had already been doing deals before
[00:15:23.740 to 00:15:27,300] for several years to, to then find out something as
[00:15:27.300 to 00:15:30,620] powerful as retirement accounts, combining with real
[00:15:30.620 to 00:15:34,010] estate and, you know, being able to open up that whole new
[00:15:34.010 to 00:15:36,460] world. So way to stay coachable. And that's
[00:15:36.460 to 00:15:40,390] one of the keys to success here. Yeah. And it's thank you.
[00:15:40.390 to 00:15:43,740] And we learn, you know, I'm on calls like
[00:15:43.740 to 00:15:47,390] this every single day with you guys. And, uh, I listened to
[00:15:47.390 to 00:15:50,380] both of you in the morning. So I double up. I have
[00:15:50.380 to 00:15:53,770] two hours of calls in the morning, most morning and because
[00:15:53.770 to 00:15:56,460] of the time difference. And, uh, it's pretty
[00:15:56.460 to 00:16:00,550] awesome to be able to learn from, from everybody around the
[00:16:00.550 to 00:16:03,740] country. I mean, I've reached out to people
[00:16:03.740 to 00:16:08,430] even in Hawaii and Alaska because we've had interesting, uh
[00:16:08.430 to 00:16:12,780] , things that are, um, you know, brought our way
[00:16:12.780 to 00:16:15,040] that cross our desk and we're like, Hey, all right, well,
[00:16:15.040 to 00:16:17,660] what's this area like? I don't know those areas.
[00:16:17.660 to 00:16:20,270] So it's nice to be able to have community members and
[00:16:20.270 to 00:16:22,060] support to be able to reach out to.
[00:16:22.060 to 00:16:24,780] Yeah. And did it for me too.
[00:16:26.380 to 00:16:27,340] Definitely hear you there.
[00:16:29.020 to 00:16:33,360] Um, so had you bought or enrolled in other program, real
[00:16:33.360 to 00:16:34,780] estate trainings, were you like,
[00:16:35.580 to 00:16:37,420] tell us like, were you reading books or were you just kind
[00:16:37.420 to 00:16:39,100] of going off neighbor rumors? What were
[00:16:39.100 to 00:16:39,500] you doing?
[00:16:39.500 to 00:16:43,340] No, we just kind of winged it. You know, we were going our
[00:16:43.340 to 00:16:45,580] own way. Yeah. Oh yeah. You're right.
[00:16:45.580 to 00:16:50,300] That's the right expression. For sure. It was like, oh, um,
[00:16:50.300 to 00:16:52,620] we knew that going to these weekend seminars,
[00:16:52.620 to 00:16:56,100] that they were not what we were looking for. Um, we knew
[00:16:56.100 to 00:16:59,180] people who had gone through them. And for us,
[00:16:59.180 to 00:17:01,190] we knew that that was not the right way. That was not the
[00:17:01.190 to 00:17:01,980] right path for us.
[00:17:03.340 to 00:17:06,940] And, uh, so we were just learning from others, you know,
[00:17:06.940 to 00:17:09,100] following other people's paths. But the
[00:17:09.100 to 00:17:13,180] problem is when you follow random people who learned from
[00:17:13.180 to 00:17:16,140] random people, you don't always get all the
[00:17:16.140 to 00:17:19,410] pieces that you need to be successful. Yes. There are
[00:17:19.410 to 00:17:24,460] several pieces. And, you know, unless that
[00:17:25.900 to 00:17:30,130] those random people happen to be very knowledgeable and
[00:17:30.130 to 00:17:34,300] able to give you your, uh, you know, all the
[00:17:34.300 to 00:17:37,550] tax information that you need and, you know, all of the,
[00:17:37.550 to 00:17:40,780] like the solo 401k information that we didn't
[00:17:40.780 to 00:17:44,600] know about or self-directed IRA or, you know, all the
[00:17:44.600 to 00:17:48,060] little pieces, the contracts and, you know,
[00:17:48.060 to 00:17:51,220] you just, you don't know off market property. I never heard
[00:17:51.220 to 00:17:53,180] of that before. How do you buy a property
[00:17:53.180 to 00:17:57,000] without a realtor? I didn't know. Yeah. We bought all our
[00:17:57.000 to 00:17:59,820] stuff from a realtor. That's what we knew.
[00:18:00.540 to 00:18:03,930] And so you don't know what you don't know. Sorry. Exactly.
[00:18:03.930 to 00:18:04,700] Exactly.
[00:18:04.700 to 00:18:07,220] What was your previous career before getting into real
[00:18:07.220 to 00:18:07,740] estate?
[00:18:08.700 to 00:18:13,710] Jack of all trades, a master of none. So I worked in the
[00:18:13.710 to 00:18:17,420] engineering field for a while. I worked in the
[00:18:17.420 to 00:18:22,780] legal field for a while. Um, I was, uh, entrepreneur, had
[00:18:22.780 to 00:18:24,780] several different businesses,
[00:18:25.420 to 00:18:29,840] MLM businesses, not the way to go. MLMs are, uh, some of
[00:18:29.840 to 00:18:32,380] them, I guess, if you get in at the right
[00:18:32.380 to 00:18:35,130] time, they can be very, very successful, which is another
[00:18:35.130 to 00:18:37,100] reason why I really like you guys, because
[00:18:37.740 to 00:18:40,870] I hear, you know, the guru things and they're like, Oh, you
[00:18:40.870 to 00:18:45,020] know, it's this MLM or that MLM and you know,
[00:18:45.020 to 00:18:48,540] all their marketing crap that they do. And, um, we're just,
[00:18:48.540 to 00:18:51,420] they're, it's not here. You know,
[00:18:51.420 to 00:18:55,760] there's no pushes to be more than you want to be. And now
[00:18:55.760 to 00:18:58,860] we take the real estate and we become
[00:18:58.860 to 00:19:02,110] successful with it. And that's, that's what I love doing
[00:19:02.110 to 00:19:05,740] with you guys. What's your husband do? He is an
[00:19:05.740 to 00:19:12,780] engineer. There you go. Like Michael. Engineering together.
[00:19:12.780 to 00:19:18,380] Nice. Well, cool. So, so you, so to recap
[00:19:18.380 to 00:19:20,870] this whole thing, you basically were bumping your head
[00:19:20.870 to 00:19:22,860] against the wall for years, losing money.
[00:19:22.860 to 00:19:26,250] Absolutely. You never lost the passion to take control of
[00:19:26.250 to 00:19:28,380] your life. And then you finally bumped
[00:19:28.380 to 00:19:30,860] into someone inside of our community. You saw the
[00:19:30.860 to 00:19:33,340] difference and now things have just exploded for you
[00:19:33.340 to 00:19:37,490] in a big way. Absolutely. Way to go. Not giving up. Cause I
[00:19:37.490 to 00:19:38,780] know some people after one deal,
[00:19:38.780 to 00:19:42,030] they would just give up. So yeah, that's not my nature,
[00:19:42.030 to 00:19:44,460] fortunately, or unfortunately, not sure.
[00:19:47.420 to 00:19:50,590] Nice. Well, cool. Well, this is exciting. And, um, and so
[00:19:50.590 to 00:19:53,020] future is looking bright. Bring your sunglasses.
[00:19:55.100 to 00:19:57,340] Okay. So let's say, let's say you had, so somebody on the
[00:19:57.340 to 00:19:59,500] line here is hearing this for the first time.
[00:19:59.500 to 00:20:03,100] So let me just sent this out, um, to an engineer out there.
[00:20:03.100 to 00:20:05,020] Right. So I've got an engineer friend that
[00:20:05.020 to 00:20:08,410] should hear from an engineer. So, uh, what's your advice?
[00:20:08.410 to 00:20:11,100] Like speak, speak, engineer speak. What do you like about
[00:20:11.100 to 00:20:11,340] this
[00:20:12.140 to 00:20:15,070] program as a person or your, your husband's an engineer?
[00:20:15.070 to 00:20:16,780] You, you tend to be that type of person
[00:20:16.780 to 00:20:19,710] right now. So as an engineer, as an intellect, what do you
[00:20:19.710 to 00:20:23,580] love about it? I love that it's systematic.
[00:20:23.580 to 00:20:28,180] And that for us is very important because we thrive on
[00:20:28.180 to 00:20:31,420] systems and, and functionality, but it doesn't
[00:20:31.420 to 00:20:35,040] have to be systematic. So, um, we have friends in the
[00:20:35.040 to 00:20:38,140] community who do not have that same mindset.
[00:20:38.140 to 00:20:41,290] And it's, they're still just as successful because you get
[00:20:41.290 to 00:20:44,540] to learn through your own style and connect with
[00:20:44.540 to 00:20:48,480] people who are like-minded. And because our community is
[00:20:48.480 to 00:20:51,420] comprised of so many different people from so many
[00:20:51.420 to 00:20:54,350] different backgrounds, there's always somebody who can help
[00:20:54.350 to 00:20:58,300] you understand what you need. If, you know, like if
[00:20:58.300 to 00:21:00,910] Michael can't explain it to me in, in ways that I
[00:21:00.910 to 00:21:04,300] understand, I can call Scott and he'll explain it to me,
[00:21:04.300 to 00:21:04,380] you
[00:21:04.380 to 00:21:10,060] know, or Bill. Yeah. Good options. Maybe. All right. So
[00:21:10.060 to 00:21:12,220] here's what I love. Here's what, let me just
[00:21:12.220 to 00:21:14,720] clarify that for a second. Everybody's benefiting from the
[00:21:14.720 to 00:21:16,780] system. They just might not see that as the
[00:21:16.780 to 00:21:18,600] reason, right? Like you see it as the reason you're
[00:21:18.600 to 00:21:20,700] successful. There's definitely a system here.
[00:21:20.700 to 00:21:22,990] There's definitely, even my wife who's a relator and loves
[00:21:22.990 to 00:21:25,900] people is benefiting from a system. She uses them
[00:21:25.900 to 00:21:28,840] to put together big parties and regionals. So, but it's not
[00:21:28.840 to 00:21:31,500] the, it's not, it's not what, what she enjoys about it.
[00:21:31.500 to 00:21:33,920] Right. The reason I'm asking you is because as an intellect
[00:21:33.920 to 00:21:35,740] or an engineer, you know, I knew that
[00:21:35.740 to 00:21:38,990] there's the answer for you. It was system, right? I mean,
[00:21:38.990 to 00:21:41,180] the classes for me were paint by numbers,
[00:21:41.180 to 00:21:43,790] like, Hey, do this and then do this and then do this and
[00:21:43.790 to 00:21:45,340] then do this. And then, you know,
[00:21:45.340 to 00:21:47,730] and then, and then I can just hop on coaching to add to the
[00:21:47.730 to 00:21:48,860] system. So, yeah.
[00:21:48.860 to 00:21:52,740] You got the system unbeatable and it's working around the
[00:21:52.740 to 00:21:55,100] country. Thank you so much for spending some
[00:21:55.100 to 00:21:57,740] time with us and asking, answering some of our questions.
