An architect by trade, Tina Thomas first became a Real Estate Investor before she moved to the design side full-time. She uses design to help investors bring business to a different level. She is very passionate to help investors grow their business through her design styles and techniques. Functionality is always at the top of her priority while ensuring to maintain edge on the beauty side. She has the skill to find that good blending spot of beauty and design without sacrificing functionality. Listen to this good exchange of knowledge between Tina and john! Episode Highlights: Importance of Interior and Exterior Design Functionality of Design to Increase Value of Property Phases of Design Processes Adjusting and Modifying Designs Based on Budget Softwares and Tools Used for Concept and Design Importance of Establishing Good Relationship Between your Investors and Contractors Understanding Scope of Work Trending Interior and Exterior Designs Connect with Tina: Tina Thomas Designs Website  Facebook Page  LinkedIn  Email  About Our Guest: Tina Thomas practiced commercial architecture and grew frustrated with the assembly line approach to projects (one group works on design, another group works on the construction documents, etc). She understand this works from the firm's perspective, but it just didn't work for her.  Tina would get these lofty designs, knowing full well it was out of budget, but had to do the drawings anyway, and then of course, do them again when the clients had their heart attacks from the price. “I don't believe design has to be $$$$ to be great.  Every project deserves great design, no matter the value.  It's about being creative and working within a budget. “ - Tina Thomas She became a real estate investor in 2016, but slowly transitioned into doing design full time, working with real estate investors on their multi and single family projects. Along the way, she have had several questions regarding the process of working with a designer.  She feel there is a misconception with designers.  It's like as soon as you say it, money starts pouring out of your pocket.  The point of hiring a designer is to help you SAVE money.  How is that you ask?  Knowing the budget from the beginning, a plan can be put in place so that there aren't last minute purchases, things forgotten and time wasted.  In addition, we know the best places to spend money so you can sign new tenants quickly or to put on the market for a faster sell.  A successful project is when you can minimize your time in the renovating process and get the most out of it.  NOI/ROI is where it's at and our job is to increase those numbers through design. --- Did you enjoy today's episode?

What is the best and Biblical financial approach? Well this very question is answered in our today's show by our guest, Jared Williams. Jared is the founder of Biblical Wealth Solutions - where they believe that in addition to honoring God with our investments, we should strive to improve the lives of others with our investments; we call this investing with Impact. He also helps Christian families achieve financial freedom for God's glory using real estate and other non-Wall-Street investments.

Precious Metal Connect with Jared Facebook  LinkedIn  Biblical Wealth Solutions Website  Email About Our Guest: Jared Williams is on a mission to revolutionize Christian personal finance and is passionate about teaching Christian families a Biblical and better approach to investing and managing finances. Jared has dedicated his career to shedding light on the fact that most families are invested in companies that support and even profit from unbiblical practices such as abortion, pornography, and addiction. He wants families to know they have alternatives. After discovering that most families are losing over half of their wealth potential to hidden but definite losses, he was convinced there had to be a better way to prepare for retirement and build wealth. Through his business, Biblical Wealth Solutions, and as the host of The Biblical Wealth Podcast, Jared and his team helps families find alternatives to relying on the stock-market roller coaster - investments that could not only perform better, but can also actively improve the lives of others. As a husband and homeschooling father of three, Jared understands the significant lack of time most families have to put toward figuring out the best financial approach and loves helping Christian families develop a long-term approach and strategy that is both Biblical and better than their typical financial approach. --- Did you enjoy today's episode?
