Joining us on the Get in the Cashflow Game with K&K Podcast is Jennifer Grimson Jennifer was a single mother who lost everything; she found herself with no money, no job, no car, no place to live, and the sole support for her two children...TWICE.  She knew that I had to rebuild again. This time, instead of just looking for a job with a big paycheck, She was going to find a way to grow my money. She envisioned creating a series of income-producing “micro empires” that would protect her, her family, and my assets.  Over the next 4 years, she took tiny, actionable steps that moved her in the direction of these goals. She surrounded herself with the right people and took calculated educated moves. She did not quit my job. She did not win the lottery. She did not get an inheritance. She manipulated my 401k, She learned about new vehicles for investments, She used my paycheck, She used my HSA, She used the tools She had at hand at the time. She took micro-risks. At the end of these 4 years, She had over $1.4m in income-producing properties, had become a hard money lender, and had invested in private technology companies. She realized that She had created her own micro empire! The goal of the Micro-Empires Podcast is to provide those real-life steps and tools to create and grow your micro empires.  On this podcast we go over: Married to losing EVERYTHING The steps Jennifer took to create her micro empire VRBO's Generational Wealth You can find more about Jason at: Website: https://micro-empires.com Podcast: https://micro-empires.com/episodes/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/microempires/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MicroEmpiresPodcast/ You can check out Get in the Cashflow Game at:  Website: https://getinthecashflowgame.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getinthecashflowgame/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKCq8ChflxF7qWPfV395eag Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getinthecashflowgame You can find more information about Kenny Simpson at:  Website: https://www.simpsonmortgage.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kennybsimpson/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Kenny-Simpson-111871733890408 You can find more information about Krystle Moore at:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krystlerosemoore/ Website: www.pacificshorecapital.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pacificshorecapital/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Krystle-Moore-273576823172681 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PacificShoreCapital Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to the Micro Empires podcast! Today, we will be listening to an episode that I reported back in May of 2020 at the beginning of Covid with someone I call a real estate ninja or a deal structure ninja; his name is Brandon Rumbley.  Brandon purchased his first investment property to flip in 2007.  Although the deal went horribly wrong as he made all the mistakes new investors are prone to make,  he was hooked!  Learning from his mistakes, he moved on to the next deal.   After hundreds of subsequent deals, he now most enjoys the strategic side of real estate. Brandon co-owns Renew Real Estate Services. He owns nearly 100 rental units with his partners, builds 15-20 homes per year, has several vacation rentals, and loves to invest using self-directed tax-deferred or tax-free vehicles. Let's tune in and learn more about the foundational steps to get started in real estate. [00:01 - 08:20] Opening Segment  Let's welcome today's guest. Brandon Rumbley Brandon shares his background and the money culture he grew up in. Re-train your brain on how to think about wealth and wealthy people.

[29:31 - 32:56] Closing Segment Brandon answers my question, “if you had just $10,000, what recommendation would you make to somebody on how to use that money to start to build some wealth?” Take at least half of it, spend it on advertising, and get the phone ringing with motivated sellers. Final words from Brandon and me. See the links below to connect with Brandon. Tweetable Quotes: “You can't spend too much time educating yourself; you have to take action!.” - Brandon Rumbley.  “The great thing about real estate is that even poor decisions that you make in real estate mostly time will cure those.” - Brandon Rumbley.  “Investing is a team sport, so I'm always happy to answer questions from people, even if I'm not going to benefit from it right now” - Brandon Rumbley.    You can connect with Brandon through email to Brandon@renewtn.com or check out his website at https://www.urbandwellhomes.com/about-us.

“You don't need to be wealthy to build wealth”. In this episode, I brought in my good friend Jennifer Ives Grimson.   Jennifer was a single mother who lost everything...twice.  The second time, she rebuilt by creating small “empires” for financial independence.  She created over $1.4m in income-producing investments with nothing more than a W2 and grit.  In 2020, Jennifer created the Micro Empires Podcast to share her story and to pull back the curtain on the path to financial independence. Let's jump right into Jennifer's story and find out how she built her micro empire. Key Takeaways: Opening Segment - [00:01 - 05:19] How Jennifer lost everything... TWICE! Jennifer's journey to financial literacy   What was your money culture growing up? - [05:20 - 10:29] I love working, I love the freedom of having money. You have to work very hard, be conservative, save everything. Money can be used to abuse, to withhold, to trap and when you have your own money or at least understand it, you always have a way out.   How to manipulate tools when building your micro empire - [10:30 - 22:40] How to borrow from your 401k without penalty or tax. Surrounding yourself with people who look like you. Overcoming fear; find one person you can connect with.   Lightning Round and Closing Segment - [22:41 - 29:08] What is your superpower as it relates to your business?

Who would have thought that filing bankruptcy – twice – can serve as a springboard to a better life? This is exactly what Jennifer I. Grimson did. As a single mother who lost everything twice because of divorce, she managed to find success in real estate the second time around, rebuilding everything that she has lost. Sitting down with Vera McCoy, Esq., Jennifer looks back on how she used short-term rentals to build her own small empire and creating over $1.4 million in income, producing investments with nothing more than a W2 and grit. She also shares her amazing work at Micro Empires, where she helps fellow real estate people pull back the curtain on the path to financial independence and unveil the most valuable investing secrets.

Our guest today is Jennifer Grimson, a coach, real estate investor, and podcaster, who created a concept called Micro Empires. In this episode, she breaks down the many ways she invests and how you can build your own micro empires too! If you are ready to diversify your income streams and set yourself free financially, then this episode is for you! Learn more about Jennifer and her journey at reiclarity.com! “My thought was if it belongs to me, it's an empire.”   03:14 Jennifer was a single mother, who lost everything in her life twice. She found herself with no money, no job, and no place to live with her two children. After the second time, she realized that she didn't want to be dependent on others anymore and instead of only looking for a job, she started to search for ways to diversify her income and build lasting wealth.   This is when the concept of micro empires was born. Jennifer started to build different streams of income which included her day job as a salesperson, coaching, real estate investing, and art.  “There's always something that you can do, hopefully, that you enjoy. And hopefully, that builds on what you're already doing.”   10:37 Jennifer suggests to always have at least 3 streams of income. To find these streams, look at your talents and figure out what you do so well that other people ask you for it. Then start to build businesses around these talents.   Jennifer was always good at storytelling so she built her micro-empires around business coaching, high-level executive resume writing, and Linkedin networking coaching. She also invests in multifamily real estate and until earlier this year, Airbnb. She invests in broad-based index funds and paints as well. 13:47 According to Jennifer, believing that what you're doing is worth it is important and it often requires a mindset shift. Her advice on how to start charging for what you love to do: Be consistent and work towards your goal in small steps every day to move the needle. Do something every day that scares you. Be honest about what you need and don't be afraid to tell it to others as well.  “I'm looking at other multifamily but really anything that creates cash flow is what I'm interested in.”   23:12 Jennifer always wanted to get into real estate investing. She started out with Airbnbs using her 401k. This turned out to be so lucrative that she was able to quit her corporate job at the end of 2018. However, the market was becoming too saturated, so Jennifer decided to sell her Airbnbs just a month before COVID hit.   Jennifer has been investing in a joint venture with 67 doors and in the future, she would like to buy more multifamily.  32:25 Jennifer's advice on finding ways to make money while keeping your day job: Know your finances and use the tools and resources that are available Understand your mindset, blocks, and limiting beliefs Take action, learn and try things, and don't be afraid to ask questions Mentioned in the show: Jen Sincero - You Are a Badass Gavin de Becker - The Gift of Fear www.micro-empires.com https://micro-empires.com/coaching/  www.bakercollins.com www.shineinsurance.com/reiclarity Learn how to grow your portfolio and reach incredible success the right way!
