In today's fast-paced world, many of us find ourselves trapped in the endless cycle of the 9 to 5 grind, yearning for a taste of financial freedom and a lifestyle that truly resonates with our personal values. Michael Hoang, a real estate investor from Houston, Texas, once found himself in this very predicament. However, through strategic real estate investments, he managed to escape the daily grind and now dedicates his life to helping others achieve the same.Before diving into real estate, Michael was entrenched in the telecom industry, working as a risk manager with a grueling travel schedule that spanned the U.S., Canada, and even Puerto Rico. As he juggled this demanding routine, he recognized the unsustainable nature of his professional life. Motivated by the desire for stability and a gentle nudge from his wife, he embarked on a quest for financial independence through real estate.Michael's journey in real estate began with "house hacking," a strategy where one purchases a multi-unit property, lives in one unit, and rents out the others. This initial step provided a crucial foundation for his real estate business, allowing him to build capital and experience. However, he soon learned that fear and hesitation had initially held him back from progressing further, despite possessing the necessary knowledge and tools.His breakthrough came when he discovered the power of private money. Traditional financing methods, such as hard money lending, often come with cumbersome paperwork and higher costs. In contrast, private money offered a more flexible and relationship-driven approach, making it easier to secure funding quickly and efficiently. This strategy enabled him to scale his operations significantly faster.Michael credits much of his success to direct-to-seller marketing, emphasizing the importance of finding deals off-market through methods like direct mail. Despite numerous technological advancements, he attests to the timeless efficiency of direct mail in reaching potential sellers and securing profitable deals.Furthermore, Michael utilizes the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), acquiring distressed properties, renovating them, and refinancing to recoup his initial investment. This method has allowed him to recycle his capital repeatedly, growing his portfolio and wealth without the limitations imposed by traditional financing institutions.Through networking and relationship-building at local meetups and self-directed IRA gatherings, Michael connected with private money lenders who shared his vision. He emphasizes the significance of nurturing these relationships early, suggesting that aspiring investors "dig their well before they are thirsty" to avoid desperation when a lucrative deal arises.Michael's story is not just about financial gain; it's about creating a fulfilling life based on personal values and priorities. He finds joy in knowing that his investments not only provide him with financial freedom but also benefit his private lenders, creating a cycle of opportunity and growth.His journey underscores a critical lesson: in real estate, as in life, relationships are everything. Whether it's connecting with potential sellers or building trust with private lenders, Michael's approach revolves around integrity and mutual benefit, resulting in a win-win scenario for all parties involved.As he continues to expand his real estate ventures and digital presence, Michael remains committed to sharing his knowledge and insights. Through his podcast, "The Be Someone Podcast," and his active participation on social media, he inspires others to break free from their constraints and pursue lives of passion and purpose.In a world where many feel trapped by the constraints of traditional career paths, Michael Hoang's success story offers hope and inspiration.

In this week's episode of the Rich Habits Podcast, Robert and Austin answer your questions!---
Lauren kicks off by asking who Sabrina asks for advice. She leans on supportive individuals and does not ask those that are not supportive of real estate investing and risk. Sabrina'sfirst job out of college was selling mattresses, and so she figured selling big ticket items like houses would mean making bigger money than selling mattresses. Lauren, whose career was in sales, points out that increasing yourincome is a key part of personal finance. Speaking of personal finance, Lauren asks how Sabrina bought her first investment properties. Her first home appreciated enough to buy an investment property when she sold it. As sheworked her way up in tech sales, she made more and more money, saving a big chunk of it. That's how she bought additional properties. Sabrina's goal is to be financially independent by age 43. Currently, Sabrina has 3 properties, and she tells us how they're performing. The one that is paid off has 10% ROI. Her second property is appreciating and doing a bit better than breakeven. Her third property is just getting going now. Lauren asks Sabrina who she thinksshould get into real estate. Basically, anyone can as long as they act in spite of fear! They close the conversation by looking toward the future, and Sabrina would like to add at least 2 more properties.

Sabrina has been interested in real estate for many years. She was a real estate agent for 6 years and a property manager for 3. Knowing she had the interest and the skills to build her own portfolio, Sabrina worked hard and saved cash for 3 years to buy her first 2 rentals (in 2022 and 2023). She added her 3rd property in 2025. Sabrina currently lives in Naples, Florida, where she runs her own business (Lovegood Lingerie) and loves spending time with friends, traveling, gardening, and doing yoga.https://lovegoodlingerie.com/Lauren's guides and course:https://adultingiseasy.gumroad.com/ Connect with Lauren:https://www.realadultingiseasy.com/https://twitter.com/AdultingIsEasy https://www.instagram.com/adultingiseasyreal/

Kyle Alexander says his initial entry into real estate was because he was 27 working a W2 and thinking about paying into this 401K and not being able to retire until age 65 and wanted something different. He researched and believed real estate could bring in more financially and retire him like others had at age 30-40. Moved to Idaho to do a house hack investment conventionally through a bank on a triplex. Wanted to do his next deal differently as banks are not fun to work with. He saw a Pace ad one day and thought it might be a scam but wanted to try creative as if not a scam would be awesome. He joined SubTo and says it works and it's legit!

One of the best ways to “live for free” is a strategy almost every successful real estate investor uses at some point in their journey: house hacking. You've probably heard of it before—house hacking allows you to significantly reduce (or eliminate) your mortgage/rent payment, so your housing cost hits rock bottom or even zero. This helps you save more money every month, invest faster, and reach financial freedom after a short (but worthwhile) period of sacrifice. Which US markets are best for house hacking, getting a great job, and paying next to nothing for housing? We're presenting four of the best house hacking markets in the country, some of which you'll probably be tempted to move to. These markets all have lower home prices but respectable wages, things to do, and great rents for you to collect. Who better to judge these markets than the man who wrote The House Hacking Strategy, Craig Curelop? Data scientist Austin Wolff is pitching these four real estate markets to Craig and Dave as the house hacking duo votes on whether they'd move to that market to house hack or stay put where they are. In This Episode We Cover: How to reduce (or eliminate) your monthly mortgage/rent payment with house hacking The different levels of house hacking (comfort vs. profitability) What makes a market worthwhile to house hack in (it ISN'T just about the money) A mountain biking capital with booming job growth and low home prices A “smart-grid” affordable city close to two major markets Great jobs, an excellent airport, solid schools, and strong growth from this underrated southern market Buying a house for under $300K in this city with a sports atmosphere And So Much More!
