In today's show, Pancham interviews Stony Stonebraker and Lennon Lee - real estate investors and founders of Passivo Real Estate Investments. Stony started his investing career after he retired from being an electrical engineer. Lennon jumped straight ahead into real estate investing as he started to manage properties as soon as he settled in the US. They're indeed the epitome of “Opposites attract” as they have partnered and founded an investment firm that helps investors with generational wealth and passive income! In this episode, Stony and Lennon will join us as they share how they came to become real estate partners and their vision as they started Passivo. We'll also look at their mindset as they'll share the challenge in analysis paralysis, the importance of building relationships, and working their way towards financial and time freedom! Listen and enjoy the show! Quote: “The reason why we became partners is because we share the vision of achieving that financial or time freedom and we just decided that this is the vehicle. Cash-flowing real estate is the vehicle that we selected.” Timestamped Shownotes: 0:35 - Pancham introduces Stony and Lennon to the show 3:11 - Their different backgrounds and how they got into investing 6:29 - Lennon's mindset on investing right after coming to the US 8:41 - Why Stony decided to start investing after retirement 11:34 - Their goals with Passivo and why they focus on passive investments 14:08 - Giving up control and building trust as the first step to passive investing 19:23 - On their investing strategy to provide diversification and capital growth 23:29 - Their uncomfortable goals that they're working towards to 26:56 - Taking the Leap Round 26:56 - Their first investments outside of Wall Street 28:26 - Overcoming their mental hurdles when they started investing 30:49 - Why their investments in real estate and cryptocurrency didn't work out 33:15 - Why investors should know their goals and to start investing now 35:16 - Where you can get a copy of their free eBook 3 Key Points: You would never be 100% ready in investing thus investors should take action first and create changes along the way instead of overanalyzing things. Some investors wouldn't have the time to fully understand investing. It all comes down to trusting the real professionals to do their work and be able to learn from them. Mitigate your investment risks by having any sort of diversification - whether in terms of your investments or in terms of the team.

“Build on small successes. Success breeds success.” — Dave Liniger It’s been said that Dave Liniger is the greatest franchisor since Ray Kroc. Founder and CEO of RE/MAX – the world’s most successful real estate company – and member of the International Franchise Hall of Fame, Dave gives a rare behind-the-scenes interview to Dermot Buffini, CEO of Buffini & Company. In this episode, Dave Liniger shares his journey from small-town Marion, Indiana, to leading a hugely successful real estate franchise. He delves into why it’s important to shake things up, the critical role of a coach or mentor, and why it’s vital to create a work-life balance while striving for success. You’ll also learn the three books that strongly influenced Dave’s life, why a brokerage is not a family, and how getting involved in hobbies outside of work can help you in your business. If you want to succeed, listen to this episode to learn from the best. Inspirational quotes from today’s interview: “I found a vision of what I wanted, and I wanted to excel.” – Dave Liniger “Courage comes from confidence and confidence comes from experiences and experiences are both good and bad.” – Dave Liniger “I had a career where people wanted what I was selling.” — Dave Liniger “Those who were determined found a way to make it work.” — Dave Liniger “A lot of times, success is harder to live with than failure.” — Dave Liniger “It’s nice finding partners and employees who complement the skills you have.” — Dave Liniger “Success is a certainly a journey. You can learn from your mistakes.” — Dave Liniger “If you’re going to work 18 hours a day, you end up a failure.” — Dave Liniger “It was a continuing refreshing in my mind of not doing the same thing day after day.” — Dave Liniger “If you do nothing but work, you’re not fresh, you’re not excited and you’re not exciting to be around.” — Dave Liniger “Each one of those things made me manage my time better at RE/MAX because I had to manage my time outside in addition to my free time.” — Dave Liniger “I’m enthusiastic to come into the office every day.” — Dave Liniger “Build on small successes. Success breeds success.” — Dave Liniger “The team you start with is never going to be the team you end with.” — Dave Liniger “RE/MAX is not a family.

As entrepreneurs, we face many challenges on a daily basis, challenges that are very different from those who have a “real job”. Fear can be crippling for anyone, however this episode should provide a different outlook overcoming fear and taking action after hearing Eva and Elia’s story. Eva is from Hungary, Elia is from Italy, they came to this country just a few years ago...hand in hand with nothing but each other...their clothes and a few dollars. It began with focus…..they did not think about what they didn’t know…..instead they focused on what they planned to achieve. Traveling to the US to begin a new life did not include a set of First Class seats on the Concorde, nor were they carrying suitcases of cash. They did however share a dream….to move to America and build a real estate investing business from scratch. Eva and Elia spent many hours involved in self improvement by reading real estate investment books….book that were written in English, even though they did not speak English fluently. They continued to expand their horizons by attending local REIA Meetings. (Real Estate Investment Associations) By attending networking events and simply being genuine, they attracted the attention of local real estate investment experts. These experts approached them and offered their assistance in educating Elia and Eva on creative acquisition techniques. As part of creative acquisition practice they began striking deals with local investors to remove unwanted items from houses that were being renovated or “trashed out”. The term “trashed out” is used when someone is hired to remove the garbage, furniture and other personal belongings from a home once its occupant has vacated. Mentors such as the late Jim Rohn, Larry Harbolt, John Schaub, Pete Fortunato, “Uncle Jack” and many more have been a great help to Eva and Elia. If they had not first put themselves out there to be willing to learn, they would not have been in a position to “receive the information” Eva and Elia believe in helping others first…. that mindset usually results in others feeling compelled to help you in return. This very basic principle is what initially resulted in the launch of the CashFlowGuys brand and has helped launch Eva and Elia’s business. Elia says to overcome fear quickly, begin with the steps that you fear the most….that way everything else becomes easy. AWESOME Advice! During the show Tyler Sheff asked Eva and Elia “What can our audience do to help you?” Eva and Elia responded with the following: “We are thankful for people that believed in us and gave us a chance. Whoever has given us a chance we've never let them down. If you want to help us, all we ask is that you give us a chance. Our goal at this stage of our lives is to build credibility and gain visibility. If you want to refer us a deal (we'd reward you for it), interview us or have us sponsor your event, we'd appreciate it.” Eva and Elia As promised Eva and Elia’s favorite books are as follows: Building Wealth One House at a Time by John Schaub 7 Strategies for Wealth & Happiness: Power Ideas from America's Foremost Business Philosopher by Jim Rohn The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason The Art of War by Sun Tzu The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One by Dr Joe Dispenza Here are a few books Eva and Elia would love to read (perhaps you could pay it forward and send them a copy): Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur How to Negotiate Real Estate Contracts by Mark Warda How I Turned $1,000 Into $1,000,000 in My Spare Time by William Nickerson (suggested by John Schaub in his book Building Wealth One House at a Time) Contact Info for Eva and Elia: Real Estate Helpful Solutions - LMRT Inc.
