[00:00:00.960 to 00:00:03,220] All right, folks, welcome to another episode of our Zoom Up
[00:00:03.220 to 00:00:05,220] . It's our meetup on Zoom. I'm your
[00:00:05.220 to 00:00:08,500] host today, Mr. Michael Huggins, coming to you live from
[00:00:08.500 to 00:00:10,800] Tennessee. My co-host decided to take
[00:00:10.800 to 00:00:14,530] Friday off, so good for him. So you'll see in our previous
[00:00:14.530 to 00:00:16,980] episodes, you'll get to hear more about
[00:00:16.980 to 00:00:19,650] his story. But today we're going to feature another one of
[00:00:19.650 to 00:00:21,140] our successful students using
[00:00:21.140 to 00:00:24,390] our system and our ecosystem of real estate investing to
[00:00:24.390 to 00:00:26,220] change his life, change his trajectory
[00:00:26.220 to 00:00:29,580] of his family. Now, before we get into that, please remind
[00:00:29.580 to 00:00:31,380] yourself, real estate is risky
[00:00:31.380 to 00:00:34,100] and you need to surround yourself with professionals. You
[00:00:34.100 to 00:00:36,760] need to cross your I's, dot your T's. Is
[00:00:36.760 to 00:00:38,620] that how you say it? Just checking to see if you're
[00:00:38.620 to 00:00:41,620] listening. The point is be professional
[00:00:41.620 to 00:00:44,840] with your paperwork. Make sure that you have people double
[00:00:44.840 to 00:00:46,600] check it because if you don't,
[00:00:46.680 to 00:00:49,750] you could lose a lot of money. But if you get it right, the
[00:00:49.750 to 00:00:51,580] sky's the limit, baby. You can
[00:00:51.580 to 00:00:54,530] make as much as you want and have a lot of fun doing it and
[00:00:54.530 to 00:00:56,140] enjoying the time, making
[00:00:56.140 to 00:00:58,820] friends. And so we want to make sure people are doing it
[00:00:58.820 to 00:01:00,420] right. When I first got into this,
[00:01:00.740 to 00:01:04,470] I was working two jobs as an auto mechanic. I was barely,
[00:01:04.470 to 00:01:06,980] barely making 30 grand a year. By the time
[00:01:06.980 to 00:01:09,230] I paid all the taxes and everything, I was taking home
[00:01:09.230 to 00:01:11,340] about 20 grand. I was living in my girlfriend's
[00:01:11.340 to 00:01:14,330] mom's basement, riding my bike to work, drowning in student
[00:01:14.330 to 00:01:16,340] loan debt. But I found this group.
[00:01:17.100 to 00:01:19,580] My first deal, I started on it within three months of
[00:01:19.580 to 00:01:23,080] learning the process. And six months later,
[00:01:23.080 to 00:01:26,000] we finally sold it after everything. And after all the dust
[00:01:26.000 to 00:01:27,660] settled and everyone was paid back,
[00:01:27.720 to 00:01:31,660] I made $21,000. I made my annual salary in one deal. And so
[00:01:31.660 to 00:01:33,340] I realized, you know what,
[00:01:33.360 to 00:01:36,070] I'm going to keep doing this. And so if you're looking at
[00:01:36.070 to 00:01:38,220] this and you want to be in the position
[00:01:38.220 to 00:01:40,600] to be able to control your life, to start living a life by
[00:01:40.600 to 00:01:42,300] design instead of a life by default,
[00:01:42.860 to 00:01:44,820] then stay connected with the person that got you here,
[00:01:44.820 to 00:01:47,040] whether you're here live or someone sent you a
[00:01:47.040 to 00:01:51,300] recording and request that you come request from them, the
[00:01:51.300 to 00:01:54,540] private links for our Zooms on, we have an intro,
[00:01:54.960 to 00:01:57,440] a house tour and a workshop, right? Those are some private
[00:01:57.440 to 00:01:59,620] links with private access to get into those.
[00:01:59.860 to 00:02:01,880] So you will need to be registered and the person who got
[00:02:01.880 to 00:02:03,480] you here can get you all that info.
[00:02:04.500 to 00:02:07,750] Awesome. Now, that being said, let's jump into today's
[00:02:07.750 to 00:02:11,200] episode. The idea is we're going to bring you
[00:02:11.200 to 00:02:13,880] episodes of transformation, people who are changing their
[00:02:13.880 to 00:02:15,800] life because we want you to be inspired to
[00:02:15.800 to 00:02:17,840] get off the couch, change your life as well, and start
[00:02:17.840 to 00:02:19,520] getting the benefits that we're currently
[00:02:19.520 to 00:02:23,250] getting from owning our life, being investors, being
[00:02:23.250 to 00:02:25,680] business owners. And the cool thing is it
[00:02:25.680 to 00:02:27,750] doesn't matter your background. It doesn't matter your age.
[00:02:27.750 to 00:02:29,400] It doesn't matter your education level. It
[00:02:29.400 to 00:02:31,530] really doesn't matter what matters is your mindset. If you
[00:02:31.530 to 00:02:35,080] 're coachable, we can teach it. So our guest
[00:02:35.080 to 00:02:39,530] today is a great example of that. His unwillingness to give
[00:02:39.530 to 00:02:42,940] up. He just kept going and going. You know,
[00:02:43.060 to 00:02:45,680] when one path didn't lead to what he wanted, he didn't give
[00:02:45.680 to 00:02:47,520] up. He turned and kept going until he
[00:02:47.520 to 00:02:51,250] eventually found us. And now he has struck gold, so to
[00:02:51.250 to 00:02:54,540] speak. Been able to do some amazing stuff. He's
[00:02:54.540 to 00:02:56,900] learned a ton. So we're going to have him share his story,
[00:02:56.900 to 00:02:58,760] where he came from, you know, what was he
[00:02:58.760 to 00:03:01,550] doing? Why was he even looking for a change and what's
[00:03:01.550 to 00:03:04,080] happened? So our guest of honor today is Mr.
[00:03:04.080 to 00:03:07,050] Daniel Park. Welcome, Daniel. How are you doing? Good, good
[00:03:07.050 to 00:03:09,160] . I'm doing fine. Thanks, Michael Huggins.
[00:03:09.740 to 00:03:12,440] Yes, sir. Thanks for being here. So tell the folks a little
[00:03:12.440 to 00:03:14,500] bit about your origin story. Where'd you
[00:03:14.500 to 00:03:17,710] come from? You know, what was your background? What were
[00:03:17.710 to 00:03:20,060] you doing? And we'll take it from there.
[00:03:20.900 to 00:03:24,630] Okay. My parents are originally from South Korea. I'm born
[00:03:24.630 to 00:03:27,420] in Chicago. I've been raised in Atlanta.
[00:03:27.980 to 00:03:31,230] So I've pretty much been here in the Atlanta area all my
[00:03:31.230 to 00:03:34,060] life. Just a quick story about how I
[00:03:34.080 to 00:03:38,760] got involved with this community was I just wanted a, I
[00:03:38.760 to 00:03:42,080] want, I wanted a, you know, more better,
[00:03:42.240 to 00:03:46,190] a better life, a better income as well. But before I got
[00:03:46.190 to 00:03:49,180] into real estate investing, I was basically
[00:03:49.180 to 00:03:52,930] following the corporate, the corporate ladder. And I
[00:03:52.930 to 00:03:57,120] started off from the ground. I originally started
[00:03:57.120 to 00:04:00,850] hanging chickens in a food processing plant. No blood, no
[00:04:00.850 to 00:04:03,760] blood. They're all clean. Everything,
[00:04:04.020 to 00:04:06,830] all the giblets were all out. So I would hang chickens on
[00:04:06.830 to 00:04:08,840] the line. Get that fun one year.
[00:04:09.320 to 00:04:13,040] I got, it was fun at first because it was one of my first
[00:04:13.040 to 00:04:15,400] jobs, but it gets so tiring that when you're
[00:04:15.400 to 00:04:18,160] working there eight hours straight, and if you do want to
[00:04:18.160 to 00:04:21,160] get off the line and use the bathroom, you're so
[00:04:21.160 to 00:04:24,890] limited on time to use the bathroom, smoke a cigarette or
[00:04:24.890 to 00:04:27,560] drink or energy drink. I didn't want my life to be
[00:04:27.560 to 00:04:30,880] like that. So what did I do? I followed the system. Like
[00:04:30.880 to 00:04:33,960] what everyone's told, go to school, get a good job,
[00:04:33.960 to 00:04:38,240] and hopefully you retire. So I went back to school. I was
[00:04:38.240 to 00:04:42,520] going for my associate's degree. And then I was
[00:04:42.520 to 00:04:45,310] also going to get my associate's degree in business
[00:04:45.310 to 00:04:47,960] management, doing this full-time, full-time school
[00:04:47.960 to 00:04:51,690] and full-time work. I applied to several maintenance
[00:04:51.690 to 00:04:55,000] positions. It took me 11 tries. I finally got the
[00:04:55.000 to 00:04:57,620] opportunity. I told them, I didn't know what a, I didn't
[00:04:57.620 to 00:04:59,640] know what a wrench was. I told them I'll come to
[00:04:59.640 to 00:05:02,120] work every day and I'll show up. If I have to come holidays
[00:05:02.120 to 00:05:03,880] , I'll show up. That was the
[00:05:03.880 to 00:05:08,340] key thing that allowed me to become a maintenance man. But
[00:05:08.340 to 00:05:11,400] during my years of being a mechanic, I was
[00:05:11.400 to 00:05:15,560] handling this ammonia refrigerant called ammonia. I didn't
[00:05:15.560 to 00:05:20,200] have my proper gear on and I still, I didn't
[00:05:20.200 to 00:05:22,890] connect the pipes together and I created that environmental
[00:05:22.890 to 00:05:26,360] hazard. The county almost, well, the
[00:05:26.360 to 00:05:30,090] county did evacuate, not the whole county. Then the fire
[00:05:30.090 to 00:05:32,840] department came in and they already assumed that my
[00:05:32.840 to 00:05:36,480] manager was dead inside the building. And then I was going
[00:05:36.480 to 00:05:38,520] to run off, but I did the right thing with
[00:05:38.520 to 00:05:40,630] my co-worker. We called the fire department, our safety
[00:05:40.630 to 00:05:42,840] manager, environmental manager came on through.
[00:05:42.840 to 00:05:44,910] They said, what's going on? The fire department's like,
[00:05:44.910 to 00:05:48,680] okay, had we isolated the hazard? I said,
[00:05:48.680 to 00:05:51,460] I don't know. So they looked at my environmental manager
[00:05:51.460 to 00:05:52,920] and he's making a hundred thousand dollars a
[00:05:52.920 to 00:05:54,380] year. They said, are you going to go in there and fix it?
[00:05:54.380 to 00:05:57,000] And he goes, hell no. So I said, well,
[00:05:57.000 to 00:06:00,730] I'll man up. I made the mistake. I'll go in. I went to sc
[00:06:00.730 to 00:06:03,880] uba. I had the gear on. I had the tank on. I went
[00:06:03.880 to 00:06:08,180] there, verified all the valves are closed. And I come back
[00:06:08.180 to 00:06:11,080] and I realized I caused so much damage to the
[00:06:11.080 to 00:06:14,550] county. I realized I was only making $17 an hour and I didn
[00:06:14.550 to 00:06:18,280] 't want my life to end like that. But, you know,
[00:06:18.280 to 00:06:20,160] we're always taught to go back to school. So I got my
[00:06:20.160 to 00:06:22,520] bachelor's degree. Then eventually, I got the
[00:06:22.520 to 00:06:25,430] production manager. I'm telling people what to do, how they
[00:06:25.430 to 00:06:27,320] do their job. Then I became a project
[00:06:27.320 to 00:06:32,130] manager. As a project manager, I was making $70,000 salary
[00:06:32.130 to 00:06:35,160] and I was okay with that with a single life.
[00:06:35.160 to 00:06:38,200] But my why got bigger because I fell in love with my
[00:06:38.200 to 00:06:41,560] girlfriend. She had three daughters and I have no
[00:06:41.560 to 00:06:44,780] kids. So I had to figure out how I was going to triple my
[00:06:44.780 to 00:06:47,240] salary. Just to let you know, I still have
[00:06:47.240 to 00:06:50,960] a triple my salary, but it's working. So I started to look
[00:06:50.960 to 00:06:54,600] into real estate. I purchased a guru program.
[00:06:54.600 to 00:06:58,370] And one of the most disappointing things you could do is I
[00:06:58.370 to 00:07:01,080] got upsold. It was a thousand dollar program
[00:07:01.080 to 00:07:04,830] saying you could wholesale from your house. So two weeks
[00:07:04.830 to 00:07:07,160] later, I get a call representative
[00:07:07.160 to 00:07:09,110] from a sales representative. Have you done a wholesale
[00:07:09.110 to 00:07:11,080] transaction? I'm like, no. He goes,
[00:07:11.080 to 00:07:14,440] why haven't you? I'm like, well, I'm not in a rush. I mean,
[00:07:14.440 to 00:07:15,880] I'm just one of the little side hustle.
[00:07:15.880 to 00:07:19,060] They said, well, how about this? You fly out to California
[00:07:19.060 to 00:07:21,080] and we'll show you. I said, well,
[00:07:21.080 to 00:07:23,850] no problem. I'll take a week's vacation on my salary. They
[00:07:23.850 to 00:07:26,280] said, no, no, no. It costs $17,000.
[00:07:26.280 to 00:07:31,320] I was like, what? I said, no way. I want my money back. So
[00:07:31.320 to 00:07:34,120] on the way, I was still hunting down how
[00:07:34.120 to 00:07:36,740] to get into real estate investing. And then I called the
[00:07:36.740 to 00:07:40,360] sign. And then it was this community
[00:07:41.160 to 00:07:44,390] in the Atlanta area. Great people, amazing investors who
[00:07:44.390 to 00:07:46,280] are doing multiple transactions.
[00:07:46.360 to 00:07:49,400] I was able to network with them. And I was asking all these
[00:07:49.400 to 00:07:52,440] investors and community members who just
[00:07:52.440 to 00:07:54,680] started investing as well too. And they had so much
[00:07:54.680 to 00:07:58,920] knowledge and I was able to back off, get from them.
[00:07:58.920 to 00:08:02,240] And it just, it brought hope to my life. It brought that
[00:08:02.240 to 00:08:04,200] motivation. There is something more
[00:08:04.200 to 00:08:07,930] than just getting a bachelor's degree or even trying to go
[00:08:07.930 to 00:08:10,600] for a master's degree and hopefully retire.
[00:08:11.560 to 00:08:14,440] But when I seen that, I said, wow, people getting
[00:08:14.440 to 00:08:18,760] properties at this discount. So I was checking
[00:08:18.760 to 00:08:21,240] this community out for like three weeks and I said, all
[00:08:21.240 to 00:08:22,360] right, I'm ready to go in.
[00:08:23.080 to 00:08:25,560] Just because of the education, the program and the
[00:08:25.560 to 00:08:28,200] community that I was involved, I was able to get
[00:08:28.200 to 00:08:31,500] into my first real estate transaction, I believe eight
[00:08:31.500 to 00:08:35,560] months, six or eight months. And the best part is
[00:08:36.200 to 00:08:39,150] I didn't have to use none of my money to acquire the
[00:08:39.150 to 00:08:42,600] property, none of my money to do the repairs. But
[00:08:43.160 to 00:08:48,000] I did have to use $2,000 of my corporate credit, which I
[00:08:48.000 to 00:08:51,000] was able to learn because of the program and
[00:08:51.000 to 00:08:54,070] the education that I was able to build that business credit
[00:08:54.070 to 00:08:56,200] without using any of my social security number
[00:08:56.200 to 00:09:01,190] or my personal guarantee. So it's so, it's so amazing how
[00:09:01.190 to 00:09:04,680] you're getting connected to people.
[00:09:10.280 to 00:09:11,880] Oh, I apologize. There he goes.
[00:09:13.880 to 00:09:18,360] I'm still on my mic. All right. All right. So yeah, phone
[00:09:18.360 to 00:09:21,240] call came out. I apologize. But just being
[00:09:21.240 to 00:09:24,650] connected with investors, you know, people say you are who
[00:09:24.650 to 00:09:27,640] you associate with. And I'm a founder that
[00:09:27.640 to 00:09:31,350] that is a hundred percent. So that's where I'm at right now
[00:09:31.350 to 00:09:33,560] . And as of right now for real estate,
[00:09:33.560 to 00:09:36,640] I'm also hunting down pre foreclosures and knocking on
[00:09:36.640 to 00:09:39,720] doors and just building up that marketing funnel
[00:09:39.720 to 00:09:42,680] right now. So how much did you make on your first deal? My
[00:09:42.680 to 00:09:45,160] first deal was $27,000.
[00:09:47.000 to 00:09:52,270] And so going from having to basically be tied to your job
[00:09:52.270 to 00:09:55,640] to then looking at this check, what did that
[00:09:55.640 to 00:10:01,100] feel like? It was like when I, when I first time get that
[00:10:01.100 to 00:10:03,560] check, well, let me see. When I first time
[00:10:03.560 to 00:10:07,820] got that check, I was like, wow, this is, this is amazing.
[00:10:07.820 to 00:10:10,520] But at the same time, I mean, fix and flips
[00:10:10.520 to 00:10:12,800] are good. I thought about, I said, well, I have to go find
[00:10:12.800 to 00:10:16,120] another one. And my overall goal is to get
[00:10:16.120 to 00:10:18,920] rentals or do lease options. So that's my overall goal. I
[00:10:18.920 to 00:10:20,840] don't know if I answered your question right,
[00:10:20.840 to 00:10:23,590] Mike. Well, no, what did it feel like when you looked at it
[00:10:23.590 to 00:10:25,640] and you're holding that check and that
[00:10:25.640 to 00:10:28,650] money is now on your account after all that work, all the
[00:10:28.650 to 00:10:31,160] upsells, all the nonsense, all that, you know,
[00:10:31.160 to 00:10:33,640] traditional education and that not leading you down where
[00:10:33.640 to 00:10:35,320] you want, you finally got the check and
[00:10:35.320 to 00:10:37,800] you're getting what you want. What did that feel like? It
[00:10:37.800 to 00:10:44,040] felt great. It felt really amazing. But it's just,
[00:10:44.760 to 00:10:46,940] it felt like I just wanted to do more. It's, it's one of
[00:10:46.940 to 00:10:48,760] those reactions. You get that first check,
[00:10:48.760 to 00:10:51,590] it's like, wow, this happened. I could do more of these,
[00:10:51.590 to 00:10:54,760] you know? So that's how I felt. Nice. So you
[00:10:54.760 to 00:10:57,590] got your big why, you got people in your life that are
[00:10:57.590 to 00:11:00,200] motivating you and pushing you to become a better
[00:11:00.200 to 00:11:03,570] version of you. And that doesn't happen through typically
[00:11:03.570 to 00:11:05,880] going to college, but that's what a lot of
[00:11:05.880 to 00:11:08,260] people. It seems like that's, that's the information that
[00:11:08.260 to 00:11:10,840] they thought they need to go back to college.
[00:11:11.880 to 00:11:15,960] And folks, you can go back and look and see this theme
[00:11:15.960 to 00:11:19,080] across this entire video series that we've made
[00:11:19.080 to 00:11:22,300] almost a hundred episodes now of people being totally
[00:11:22.300 to 00:11:25,320] disappointed by traditional academic education
[00:11:25.880 to 00:11:28,090] when it comes to their finances. And so it looks like
[00:11:28.090 to 00:11:29,800] Daniel found that spot here.
[00:11:29.880 to 00:11:33,610] So, so let's get a few things clarified because I know
[00:11:33.610 to 00:11:35,800] there might be some people listening going,
[00:11:35.800 to 00:11:38,190] what did he talk about? And you said called the sign. What
[00:11:38.190 to 00:11:40,120] does that mean? What do you mean called the sign?
[00:11:41.880 to 00:11:46,050] So when I called the sign, I saw people saying like, uh, a
[00:11:46.050 to 00:11:49,480] real estate investing people who wanted to learn, uh, real
[00:11:49.480 to 00:11:53,400] estate investing call this number. So I was at that point
[00:11:53.400 to 00:11:56,370] when I knew it wasn't like a big billboard. It was like a
[00:11:56.370 to 00:11:59,080] little yard, like a road sign, yard,
[00:11:59.080 to 00:12:02,810] sign yourself sign. And you got connected to the local
[00:12:02.810 to 00:12:07,880] group. So, um, so folks, that's, that's something amazing
[00:12:07.880 to 00:12:11,480] about this network. And this system here is that there are
[00:12:11.480 to 00:12:11,720] groups all
[00:12:11.720 to 00:12:15,450] all over the country. I can believe there's like 70 between
[00:12:15.450 to 00:12:18,600] the online communities and the physical locations,
[00:12:18.600 to 00:12:21,280] people that you can plug into to start getting the networks
[00:12:21.280 to 00:12:24,040] that you need to, uh, to do your real estate.
[00:12:25.000 to 00:12:27,480] All right. So, so after having that upsell experience, and
[00:12:27.480 to 00:12:30,460] then you walk into the room, um, that they're hosting down
[00:12:30.460 to 00:12:31,160] there in Atlanta,
[00:12:31.160 to 00:12:32,760] what, what was the difference for you?
[00:12:34.200 to 00:12:38,710] The difference is I'm not behind a computer and hoping that
[00:12:38.710 to 00:12:41,560] my dreams and goals will come true.
[00:12:42.120 to 00:12:44,380] Just being in the back of the computer and not doing
[00:12:44.380 to 00:12:47,320] anything. But when I went to that room, it was,
[00:12:47.320 to 00:12:50,740] we had, I don't know, maybe 200 people. And it was a, it
[00:12:50.740 to 00:12:53,480] was a large building around 200 people.
[00:12:54.040 to 00:12:56,660] We have like on the left side, there are like a hundred,
[00:12:56.660 to 00:12:59,240] like maybe a hundred investors. And on the
[00:12:59.240 to 00:13:02,360] right side of the room are people who just wanted to get
[00:13:02.360 to 00:13:05,400] involved in real estate, brand new. So there was
[00:13:05.400 to 00:13:08,640] about like 20 or 50 people who just wanted to learn how to
[00:13:08.640 to 00:13:11,160] do it. And then, um, I met Debbie Worthington and
[00:13:11.160 to 00:13:17,150] Bill Omi and Bill Omi. He's, uh, one of the, uh, well-known
[00:13:17.150 to 00:13:19,160] investors who has a rental portfolio.
[00:13:19.160 to 00:13:23,720] And he was just talking about the auction product, uh,
[00:13:23.720 to 00:13:26,600] auction, uh, process about how he could get
[00:13:26.600 to 00:13:32,370] properties at 10, $13,000. And it's so amazing. Cause I
[00:13:32.370 to 00:13:35,480] used to put investors on the pedestal.
[00:13:35.480 to 00:13:39,630] Now I was able to talk to him belly to belly, just normal.
[00:13:39.630 to 00:13:43,000] Like they're just regular people. And that
[00:13:43.000 to 00:13:47,060] was the, one of the craziest experience I have. Nice. And
[00:13:47.060 to 00:13:51,320] it'll give you a lot more, uh, confidence
[00:13:51.320 to 00:13:54,660] and being able to see that it is real. You can do this. You
[00:13:54.660 to 00:13:57,000] don't have to be some super fancy person.
[00:13:57.000 to 00:13:59,480] You can just be a regular dude doing investing and
[00:13:59.480 to 00:14:02,760] controlling your life. Yeah. Regular dude.
[00:14:03.480 to 00:14:05,960] Nice. That's what it's about folks. Just bunch of regular
[00:14:05.960 to 00:14:07,880] people doing extraordinary things.
[00:14:09.800 to 00:14:13,530] Awesome. Okay. Um, so what would you say was your biggest
[00:14:13.530 to 00:14:15,880] obstacle in this story of transformation
[00:14:15.880 to 00:14:20,690] that you're going through? Wow. My biggest obstacle was, um
[00:14:20.690 to 00:14:24,520] , I don't know if this is, uh, the typical
[00:14:24.520 to 00:14:28,250] Asian guy is shy, do the homework in the back of the
[00:14:28.250 to 00:14:31,880] classroom. My biggest obstacles was just networking
[00:14:31.880 to 00:14:35,810] with people, asking questions, just getting out from my
[00:14:35.810 to 00:14:39,480] comfort zone. Cause I was just a shy type of guy.
[00:14:39.480 to 00:14:42,710] I would never talk to anybody. I would just go on YouTube
[00:14:42.710 to 00:14:44,680] and Google and get all my answers there.
[00:14:44.680 to 00:14:48,410] But I knew that wasn't the way I had to come out, uh, talk
[00:14:48.410 to 00:14:51,080] with people. And then when I started to,
[00:14:52.120 to 00:14:55,070] look for real estate deals, I started knocking on people's
[00:14:55.070 to 00:14:57,560] doors. I had doors shut up my face.
[00:14:57.560 to 00:14:59,410] So that was my biggest obstacle. It's just the
[00:14:59.410 to 00:15:03,560] communication. Okay. And so now being able to pick
[00:15:03.560 to 00:15:05,820] up the phone and just call someone out of the blue, is that
[00:15:05.820 to 00:15:08,520] easy for you? Yeah, it is very easy.
[00:15:09.640 to 00:15:11,500] Nice. And so you said you're working on pre foreclosures.
[00:15:11.500 to 00:15:13,160] Why are you attracted to that?
[00:15:13.160 to 00:15:17,330] Yeah. So pre foreclosures. So the first transaction that I
[00:15:17.330 to 00:15:19,240] did was with the partner
[00:15:19.240 to 00:15:23,190] within the community. And it was a subject to subject to,
[00:15:23.190 to 00:15:24,920] um, taking over people's mortgages,
[00:15:24.920 to 00:15:29,110] basically. And auctions was good buying properties, 12,000,
[00:15:29.110 to 00:15:31,240] $14,000. That amazing.
[00:15:31.880 to 00:15:36,200] But what's more amazing is when people are going into fore
[00:15:36.200 to 00:15:38,600] closure, you're giving eight ways on how
[00:15:38.600 to 00:15:41,480] to prevent them from going to foreclosure. And not only
[00:15:41.480 to 00:15:43,480] that, if you help someone like that,
[00:15:43.480 to 00:15:46,360] you're the last person they remember. And if they can't
[00:15:46.360 to 00:15:48,360] sell the house, they'll sell the house to you.
[00:15:49.240 to 00:15:53,290] And the best part is we don't have to pay the house all up
[00:15:53.290 to 00:15:56,120] cash. We could just say, Hey, we can help you
[00:15:56.120 to 00:15:59,340] out with the debt, move you to a new place, just transfer
[00:15:59.340 to 00:16:01,320] the deed to us. And we don't, you don't
[00:16:01.320 to 00:16:04,220] worry about your mortgage. We'll take care of it. And then
[00:16:04.220 to 00:16:06,520] we flip it. And then we just, uh, make profit
[00:16:06.520 to 00:16:10,220] off of that. So that was the reason why I like doing pre-
[00:16:10.220 to 00:16:12,840] foreclosures because you get properties
[00:16:12.840 to 00:16:16,230] at a discount versus, you know, a lot of people's, uh,
[00:16:16.230 to 00:16:19,000] challenges. It's money. It's always money. Well,
[00:16:19.000 to 00:16:23,150] not necessarily, uh, with this pre-foreclosure, like I said
[00:16:23.150 to 00:16:26,920] before, none of my money for the closing
[00:16:26.920 to 00:16:30,650] costs and the repair costs. I only had to use $2,000 of my
[00:16:30.650 to 00:16:32,680] corporate credit. And that was it. So
[00:16:33.480 to 00:16:35,960] that's what I love doing, helping people and getting
[00:16:35.960 to 00:16:37,160] properties at a discount.
[00:16:38.440 to 00:16:41,720] Cool. So one thing else that, that, uh, you touched on as a
[00:16:41.720 to 00:16:43,880] great reminder is building corporate
[00:16:43.880 to 00:16:47,350] credit and being able to have your business entity have its
[00:16:47.350 to 00:16:50,440] own banking, its own credit. So you can
[00:16:50.440 to 00:16:52,610] utilize that without having to tie up your own personal
[00:16:52.610 to 00:16:54,360] credit. So that's a great move, man.
[00:16:55.640 to 00:16:59,640] Thanks. Okay. Well, cool. This has been pretty inspiring.
[00:16:59.640 to 00:17:00,840] And, uh, how old are you?
[00:17:01.720 to 00:17:06,810] Um, I am, I just turned 33, uh, February 27th. So I am 33
[00:17:06.810 to 00:17:07,880] years old.
[00:17:07.880 to 00:17:12,850] Nice. And, um, and so going from job to school, to job, to
[00:17:12.850 to 00:17:14,520] school, to then finally coming here.
[00:17:15.400 to 00:17:17,900] Um, it doesn't look like you're slowing down. It looks like
[00:17:17.900 to 00:17:19,560] you're ramping things up. So
[00:17:20.200 to 00:17:22,890] I want to say congratulations and also thank you for your

[00:17:31.720 to 00:17:33,960] is saying a lot about who you are. So thank you for that.
[00:17:33.960 to 00:17:39,420] Thank you, Mike. Cool. Okay. Well, stick around for a few
[00:17:39.420 to 00:17:41,320] bonus questions for the live people here.
