In the rapidly evolving world of real estate, having the right mindset often sets apart the successful investors from the rest. Gino Barbaro, a seasoned real estate investor and author, sheds light on this pivotal concept in a recent podcast episode of Raising Private Money with Jay Conner. The discussion underscores not only the significance of mindset but also the art of attracting private money in a field often dominated by skepticism and fear.From Scarcity to Abundance: A Mindset TransformationGino Barbaro opens up about his early life, shaped by immigrant parents whose scarcity mindset dictated their relationship with money. This foundational outlook sowed seeds of fear and limiting beliefs, turning money into a source of anxiety rather than empowerment. However, Gino's journey into real estate catalyzed a profound shift. He learned that success wasn't about chasing money but creating value.One of the defining moments in Gino's career was realizing profit is merely the fuel for his ventures, not the endpoint. By treating profit as a facilitator rather than a goal, he found joy and freedom in raising capital, redefining his relationship with money from one of scarcity to abundance.Attracting Capital: The Art of Storytelling and RelationshipsJay Conner and Gino Barbaro share strategies for raising private money, emphasizing the narrative and relational aspects. In Gino's experience, multifamily investing requires more than understanding business mechanics (buying, financing, managing). It demands creating a compelling story about the investment and the investor's journey. Investors are more inclined to invest in people they trust, making personal conversations and genuine connections essential.Jay Conner supports this approach, highlighting that he has never aggressively pitched deals. Instead, he adopts an educational stance, nurturing relationships with potential lenders by focusing on value and service.Confidence Through Knowledge and PartnershipConfidence is another cornerstone of successful capital raising. Gino advises newcomers to bolster their confidence through rigorous study and real-world practice, often by partnering with seasoned investors. His transformation from an Italian restaurant owner to a full-time multifamily investor stands as a testament to the power of self-reinvention.During a pivotal negotiation, Gino embraced a new identity, shedding the "pizza guy" label and adopting that of a real estate investor. This change in self-identification provided clarity and motivation, demonstrating that confidence often emanates from how one sees oneself.Community, Relationships, and Continuous LearningBoth Conner and Barbaro stress the importance of community and relationships in building a successful real estate career. Isolation can stifle growth, whereas engaging with a community can enhance learning and confidence. For Gino, partnerships with individuals who share his values, like his business partner Jake and his wife Julia, have been instrumental in his success.Moreover, Gino's educational approach reminds us that learning is an investment. Whether through formal education or hands-on experience, continuous learning equips investors with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of real estate.Creating a Legacy of Value: The Happy Money ParadigmGino's new book, "Happy Money, Happy Family, Happy Legacy," delves into the intricate relationship between money and real estate. It challenges readers to consider not only financial legacies but also values-driven ones. By understanding why we pursue real estate, we align our financial goals with our intrinsic values, creating a more fulfilling pursuit.In conclusion, the path to success in real estate investing is paved with self-awareness, relational intelligence, and a commitment to continuous learning. By redefining our

In this episode, Gino Barbaro, co-founder of Jake & Gino, breaks down the key differences between stock investing and real estate investing. He explores not just the numbers and returns but also how your money persona plays a crucial role in determining the best investment vehicle for you.Gino shares real-world examples, including how a $600,000 real estate investment turned into a $3 million asset while generating cash flow and tax benefits. He also explains why real estate's illiquidity can actually be an advantage, how the average investor mismanages stock market timing, and the power of tax-saving strategies like 1031 exchanges and cost segregation.To make better investment decisions, you need to understand your financial mindset. Gino introduces the Five Money Personas:George the Gambler – Loves high-risk, fast-moving investments like stocks and cryptoIvan the Investor – Patient and wealth-focused, ideal for real estate investingSteve the Saver – Values security, but can benefit from real estate's cash flowAmy the Avoider – Struggles with financial decisions and needs to build confidenceSarah the Spender – Needs to control impulsive spending to start investingBy identifying which persona you relate to most, you can align your investment strategy with your financial habits.Want a Free Copy of Gino's Book?  Email: gino@jakeandgino.comSubscribe for more wealth-building insights!Like this video if you found it helpfulComment below: Are you a real estate investor or stock market investor?
