What good is having massive success in business when you're sick or your family is in shambles? The true measure of a great entrepreneur is when you've got all your bases covered – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially – not just for you, but also for your family, and your people. Today, learn how you can win at life, family, and business as Erik Cabral speaks with John Edwin, a family man, investor, and entrepreneur. Growing up in a rough area in Philly, John learned pretty early the value of hard work, discipline, and choosing your network. John is a certified personal trainer and the owner of Strength Personal Training. He is also a successful real estate investor, who started BRRR-ing at a time when it wasn't even a term yet. John and his wife currently have over 60 investment properties. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: John's aha moment Pushing past your fears Developing a morning routine and a night routine Keeping distractions away from your kids Building relationships Your network is your net worth Embracing the F word Episode Highlights: Stop Trading Time for Money Learn how to make money even in your sleep. In other words, try to figure out ways you can earn through passive income. But even before you even think about how you can get the finances to start investing, there has to be a mindset shift first. Come from an abundance mindset instead of coming from a place of scarcity. Lean into your faith and come together as a family. The Morning Routine & The Night Routine The evening routine is just as important as your morning routine. If you can figure out a night routine, then you're helping bring that championship to your morning. One of the things to add to your night routine is to turn off your phone an hour before you go to bed. Then develop a morning routine such as meditating, reading, praying, breathwork, journaling, exercise – anything you can do for 30 minutes to an hour before you even try to pick up your phone and move on with your day. You have to remain disciplined within your discipline. Keeping a Healthy Dynamic in Your Household One of the things that cause dysfunction in the family is when your kids feel like they're number one. You have to have your spouse as your number one in your family, then your kids come second. That way, you're setting a great example to your kids with the way you treat your life partner. Opening a Business You Know Nothing About Don't be afraid to take those shots. Just do more research before you take those shots. Go to somebody in that space and talk to them about what's great about it, and also the pitfalls. Then evaluate. Just because someone says it's a great idea doesn't mean you have to take their word for it. Go to a neutral party that is already successful in whatever space you're looking at and dig deep before you start opening a business you know nothing about.

On this podcast episode, I interview my student Andy Saintilus and we talk about his success as a real estate investor, and how and why he transitioned from long term rentals to short term rentals. Andy is just 33 years old. He attended his first real estate training event with me around 5 or 6 years ago. Shortly after that, he signed up for my one on one coaching program. Over the past 5 years, Andy has purchased 10 rental properties in Miami using the Buy, Repair, Rent and Refinance strategy (BRRR). I loaned him the money on all 10 properties - which is one of the benefits of my coaching program. In the past few years, he has transitioned his long term Section 8 rentals into short term vacation rentals that are listed on Airbnb. He now has all 10 properties in Miami listed as short term rentals on Airbnb. Andy now generates over $50,000 a month in income from Airbnb. He has also increased his net worth by almost 2 million dollars. And he is only 33 years old! In November, Andy quit his corporate job for good. He now has a life of financial freedom. His story is truly inspiring. If you are a new real estate investor, listen to his story and get the motivation and inspiration that you need to start learning how to buy rental properties with other people's money using the buy, repair, rent and refinance strategy. Andy will be at our Airbnb and Short Term Rentals Boot Camp next weekend. If you want to attend call our office at (561) 948-2127

What are the pros and cons of a C Corp and S Corp versus an LLC? calculate, calculate, calculate because it's possible to pay dividends out that are not going to be taxable to you. Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors answer your tax questions. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors. Highlights/Topics: Do corporations get taxed double? What are the pros and cons of a C Corp, S corp, and an LLC? Double taxation means the C Corp's getting taxed on its income. When it pays out dividends, the shareholders are getting taxed on those dividends. Also, LLC is not a tax designation. An S Corp is similar to a partnership. It has stricter rules about who can be shareholders of your S Corp and it passes through its income expenses down to the shareholders. A C Corp is its own entity/being. I own a childcare center that is set up as a corporation and taxed as an S Corp. It has a line of credit of $150,000. I'm a new real estate investor and would like to know if I can lend those funds to myself to purchase a house to buy, repair, rent, refinance, repeat (Brrr) or fix and flip? Yes, you could do that, but make sure there are promissory notes between the S corporation and borrower. However, you do have to repay that money to the S Corporation. Document it, and then honor the document. I just received a notice from the IRS asking me to pay taxes on the money withdrawn from my retirement under the CARES Act in 2020. I thought I had three years to pay back the money withdrawn in 2020, which means I still have 2022 to pay back the money that was withdrawn. How do I proceed? You have until 2022 to repay this distribution. However, the IRS technically wants you to pay back taxes on a third of that distribution each year.
