You've been hearing about passive income for a while now. You want it. You've looked into it.

You feel it in your bones that you're here to do big things. But then it comes to actually being seen, actually charging what you're worth, actually letting yourself be known, and something in you shrinks.I brought Jackie Gillies on for exactly this. She's a psychic medium, an original cast member of Real Housewives of Melbourne, and she has zero fear around being loud, being visible, and being paid properly for her gift.We get into how she came back to her intuition after a really dark chapter, why charging for your work is not something to feel guilty about, and what she does when the critics come for her.This chat cracked something open for me, and I have a feeling it'll do the same for you.So if you've been hiding, even a little, come sit with us for this one

Today, we're delighted to welcome Justin Donald, the founder of Lifestyle Investor and author of The Lifestyle Investor, as our guest! Justin has built a mastermind community where people come together to talk about investments, have fun, and enjoy life together. Stay tuned to hear about his fascinating entrepreneurial journey, learn more about the financial side of running a business, and find out how to save, invest, and project so you can decide whether to retire early or keep on doing the work you love. Justin's Journey Justin grew up in a middle-class family and paid for his own university education through various business ventures. In seventh grade, he started a small sales business selling newspaper and coupon book subscriptions, and by his senior year, he was recruiting and teaching others to do the same. He then joined Cutco, where he developed his sales skills and learned to handle rejection. He eventually built a large organization, and as his business grew, he realized that he was working long hours and that, even with a systematized business, too much still depended on him. So he started looking for a way to buy assets that could produce income without requiring his time, which led him into cash-flowing real estate, starting with mobile home parks. Over time, he invested in different types of real estate and cash-flowing businesses. He eventually created Lifestyle Investor to share the investment, tax strategy, estate planning, and other things he wished he had learned earlier. Build a Business That Doesn't Depend on You It's hard to build a business you can step away from when everything relies on you. So systematize your business, hire the right people, and have someone who can step in when needed. Buy Back Your Time If most of your net worth is tied up in your business, it means you're overconcentrated. Instead, put some of your money into cash flow-producing assets. That cash flow can initially cover your car payment or utilities and eventually grow large enough to cover your whole lifestyle. Financial Freedom Financial freedom is not just about reaching a particular net worth. It's about knowing what it costs you to live and creating enough passive income to cover it. Once you can cover all your expenses, you own your time. Then you can choose whether to continue with the work you're doing or retire early. Put Your Surplus to Work Once your lifestyle is covered, you can decide whether to spend your surplus income on improving your lifestyle or put it toward investments, wealth creation, and making an impact where it's needed. Know Your Numbers Regularly reviewing your financial dashboard can give entrepreneurs clarity and confidence, helping them feel more in control. Hire Well Don't keep people who do not fit the business culture or aren't doing a good job. Take the time to hire really good people, but avoid bloating the business by hiring more people than you actually need. Get Some Help You don't have to figure everything out alone; books, mentors, and peer groups can help entrepreneurs feel empowered and supported as they grow. Tax Code Understanding the tax code can help you take advantage of deductions and credits for activities the government wants to encourage, including business, small business, agriculture, housing, and energy. AI AI is here to stay, so the better you understand it, the more opportunities you will likely have to grow or protect your business or start another business that could be more lucrative than your current one. If you invest in early-stage AI companies, Justin suggests using your surplus income and keeping the allocation limited because it is not yet clear which companies will succeed.

We're sitting down with our friend and WIIRE founding member Jessie Dillon (Hofstra) to have a real, numbers-on-the-table conversation about what it actually looks like to invest in yourself as a female real estate investor.In this episode, we walk through Jessie's journey from overbooked permanent makeup artist in Central Massachusetts to owning around 50 residential units—including house hacks, value‑add multifamily, and short‑term rentals. We talk about the “golden handcuffs,” why index funds alone weren't enough, and how real estate became her path out of being tied to the chair.Together, we break down:How Jessie decided when to stop DIY‑ing and start paying for speed through coaching, bootcamps, and retreatsThe mindset shift from “I should figure this out alone” to “someone else already solved this problem”Why women especially struggle with fear of failure and how mentorship, accountability, and community shorten the learning curveReal numbers from Jessie's 2024 business investments—from $10K on STR deal sourcing to legal, software, events, and team supportHow we (Grace and Amelia) have invested five and six figures into masterminds, mentors, and our team—and the trade‑offs behind those decisionsListen to Jessie's previous episodes below:Episode 22Episode 149Episode 197Episode 212If you're a woman in real estate wondering when to hire help, join a community, or invest in a mentor—and whether it's “worth it”—this episode will challenge your excuses and expand your idea of what's possible.

Entrepreneurship can provide incredible wealth and freedom, but not if you've created a company that can't function without you. When every important decision, client relationship, and responsibility runs through you, then you've essentially traded one job for another while limiting the value of the business you've worked so hard to build.That's why I'm excited to have Eric Rozenberg on the podcast. Eric is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and consultant who has spent nearly three decades building, scaling, and exiting businesses in the meetings and events industry. Along the way, he's learned firsthand what happens when entrepreneurs try to do everything themselves and what it takes to build a company that creates freedom instead of consuming your life. Eric's experience is particularly interesting as AI transforms how businesses operate while making genuine human relationships and face-to-face connections even more valuable.In our conversation, Eric shares his journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, why people often choose misery over the uncertainty of change, and how AI could make in-person communities and events even more important.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why reducing your involvement in the business can increase its value while giving you more freedom.✅ How defining a compelling 10-year vision can help you make difficult decisions and stay aligned during the inevitable ups and downs of entrepreneurship.✅ How asking yourself “Should I be the one doing this?” can help you delegate more effectively and build a business that doesn't depend on you.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/309Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Tune in as the team discusses:Why Jon Burnett pursued real estate investing to spend more than just a few minutes a day with his young family.How financial pressure, debt, and uncertainty shaped Mike Zaino's early mindset.Why Scott Bossman knew the traditional career path wasn't giving him the time freedom he wanted.How family and friends reacted when land investing initially sounded unconventional or risky.The emotional hurdles behind sending the first mailer, talking to sellers, buying property, and completing a first deal.How Mike turned an approximately $1,000 property into a $3,000 sale—and what that proved to him.Why Scott's business became undeniably real when his passive income surpassed his physical therapy salary.Early mistakes involving due diligence, back taxes, wholesaling too quickly, and selling note portfolios out of fear.Why the group believes community helps investors work through stress, uncertainty, and shiny-object syndrome.How land investing created more family time, flexibility, lower stress, friendships, purpose, and control over everyday life.TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: When fear or stress clouds your judgment, talk through the situation with someone experienced who isn't emotionally attached to it. Sometimes you need someone outside the jar to read the label.Scott Bossman: Stay the course long enough for the business to compound. Early wins may feel small, but repeating the process consistently can turn a side hustle into meaningful passive income and greater control over your time.Mike Zaino: Prioritize mindset over strategy when fear, uncertainty, and doubt start taking over. Revisit Earl Nightingale's The Strangest Secret as a reminder to take ownership of your direction and keep moving forward.Jon Burnett: Don't let the first time doing something stop you. Mailing offers, speaking with sellers, and completing deals become far less intimidating once you push through those initial repetitions.WANT MORE?Enjoyed this episode?

There's a self storage niche most investors have never even considered, and Chris Long built an entire company around it. Chris is the founder and CEO of Longyards, which turns underused commercial and industrial land into secure, gated outdoor storage yards for contractors, fleets, and trades. What started as one yard in Ottawa in 2019 has grown into 168 active yards with 150 more in progress across the U.S. and Canada. Chris didn't come up through real estate or finance, he started as a carpenter, which shaped a model built for how contractors and operators actually work: month-to-month terms, no long leases, no brokers, no lawyers, just fenced, camera-monitored space you can drive into the same week you sign up. In this episode, we break down how the self storage yard model actually works, why it's one of the most overlooked passive income plays in real estate right now, and how landowners can turn raw or underutilized acreage into recurring monthly cash flow without developing or operating anything themselves. Chris walks through what makes a parcel a good fit, how Longyards' modular, deployable infrastructure lets them launch yards faster than traditional development, and why demand for this kind of space, from contractors, fleets, and infrastructure projects, keeps accelerating. If you own land that's sitting idle, or you're looking for a real estate niche with less competition and real cash flow potential, this episode lays out a strategy most investors haven't even considered yet. In this episode:What a self storage yard is and how the business model worksHow Chris scaled from one yard in Ottawa to 168 active yards (and counting)How landowners can turn idle acreage into recurring passive incomeWhat makes a parcel a good fit for a storage yardWhy month-to-month, no-broker, no-lawyer terms are reshaping this nicheWhy this is one of the fastest-growing, least-talked-about categories in outdoor storageChris' Website - https://www.longyards.com/ Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - Revenued.com/juice

We're pulling back the curtain on four sneaky “cash flow killers” that are silently draining profits from women real estate investors — and how to fix them before year-end. This week we're sharing what we've learned from 12+ years of investing and mentoring thousands of women inside our community. If you already know how to buy real estate but feel stuck in the day-to-day, this conversation is for you.You'll hear:The two biggest gaps we see holding women investors back: blind spots and no time to work on the business.How acting like a landlord vs. a CEO keeps you reactive and underpaid.The real cost of reactive maintenance (like a $300 emergency AC call for a dirty filter) and how simple systems prevent it.Why not raising rents to market is quietly erasing your cash flow—and how one member found an extra $500/month from one quick check.How to shop your insurance policies instead of auto-renewing at double the premium.Practical scripts and mindset shifts for negotiating contractor, vendor, and utility bills without burning relationships.By the end, you'll have four concrete moves you can make this month to put more money back in your pocket—without buying another property.

Are dividends really the passive-income machine investors make them out to be?

Building a successful company can create generational wealth. But once you've had a big exit, figuring out how to invest that money without taking unnecessary risks can be more challenging than many people would think.That's why I'm excited to have Ben Rubenstein on the podcast. Ben is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and the founder and Principal of SetPoint Capital, an asset-backed private credit platform and technology company. He's had multiple 9-figure exits after co-founding Yodle, which sold for $342 million, and Opcity, which sold for $210 million. Today, Ben brings his experience as both an operator and investor to building technology and investment strategies across real estate, fintech, and private credit.In this conversation, we discuss the lessons Ben learned from scaling and exiting multiple companies and why he believes great businesses are built around customers rather than ideas. We also talk about what separates safer forms of private credit from the risks making headlines today, and how his experience on both sides of the table has shaped how he thinks about investing his own wealth.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why Ben uses a barbell approach to investing that combines safer cash-flow investments with concentrated opportunities where he has a competitive advantage.✅ How asset-backed lending, aligned incentives, and new technology can create additional layers of protection for private credit investors.✅ Why deep due diligence becomes even more important as investors move beyond traditional stocks and bonds into alternative investments.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/308Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Tune in as the team discusses:How Chris Clark discovered that his sales bottleneck was a website conversion problem—not a lack of leads.Why high bounce rates, slow loading speeds, and poor mobile optimization can cost land investors sales.How a Zillow-style property map can make it easier for buyers to browse land inventory.Why a website should guide buyers through a clear customer journey instead of simply displaying property information.How capturing buyer emails creates opportunities for repeat marketing when the right property becomes available.Why new investors should focus on getting deals before spending too much time building a website.How integrations with tools like Airtable can reduce duplicate work and human error.Which website metrics matter, including bounce rate, time on site, page navigation, checkout activity, and conversions.How conversion rate optimization can improve actions such as buyer-list signups and completed purchases.Why using AI or building a website yourself can still create a major time-management distraction for land investors.TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: Don't assume more traffic will fix weak sales. Look at the customer journey and optimize the places where potential buyers are dropping off.Jon Burnett: Early in your business, focus on buying properties, listing them, and getting your reps in. Build out a stronger website once you have repeatable deal flow and inventory to support it.Mike Zaino: Don't spend valuable deal-making time becoming a website developer. Once your business needs a professional site, use systems that let you stay focused on buying and selling land.Chris Clark: Watch your bounce rate, site speed, mobile experience, and buyer journey. Your website should build trust and help move visitors naturally from browsing properties to taking action.WANT MORE?Enjoyed this episode?

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene breaks down the truth behind passive income in real estate and why the word "passive" is often used far too loosely. He explains why passive income is better understood as a spectrum, with different investments requiring different levels of involvement, oversight, and management. Jonathan walks through where different real estate strategies fall on that spectrum, from syndications and REITs to long-term rentals, short-term rentals, multifamily properties, and house flipping. He explains why property management can make an investment less active without necessarily making it truly passive, and why owning a rental property still requires you to make decisions when things inevitably go wrong. The episode also explores the hidden labor behind supposedly passive investments, including tenant issues, vacancies, capital expenditures, management oversight, and unexpected repairs. Jonathan explains why investors need to understand the true operational demands of an asset before deciding whether the returns justify the amount of work involved. Jonathan also discusses the tradeoffs between control, trust, and return, including why giving up control was initially difficult when he began investing in syndications. He shares how becoming more comfortable with passive investing has allowed him to diversify his wealth while spending less time managing individual properties. Finally, Jonathan explains that the real benefit of passive income isn't simply making more money. It's optionality. The ability to create time freedom and choose what you want to do with your life instead of being tied to the day-to-day operations of an investment. In this episode, you will hear: Why passive income is a spectrum rather than a simple yes-or-no category Where syndications, REITs, rentals, short-term rentals, multifamily, and house flipping fall on the active-to-passive spectrum Why property management makes an investment less active but does not necessarily make it passive The hidden labor, costs, and decision-making that come with owning rental properties Why the real value of passive income is optionality and time freedom, not simply more money Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

I keep getting asked the same thing lately. How am I still selling, still getting brand deals, still getting all these open doors, all on organic? No ads. No boosting.And the honest answer is I stopped caring about the numbers everyone else obsesses over. The follower count, the likes, all the stuff that makes you feel behind.There are only three numbers I actually look at now, and they changed everything about how I show up.If social media's been feeling heavy lately, this one's going to take some of that weight off

This week we are joined once again by Kelsey Porter, who used real estate to build a life she actually wants to live. As an investor and realtor out of Des Moines, Kelsey traces how she went from “Is $8,000/month even possible?” to a lean, intentional 10‑door portfolio that pays for things like her wedding, travel, and future family plans.We talk about why financial freedom is a number, not a feeling, and how sitting down in 2020 with a simple spreadsheet—income in, expenses out—led Kelsey to her first financial freedom number of $8,000/month in cash flow. We share how that number initially felt out of reach, what it took to get there faster than expected, and why she later raised the bar.We dive into:Living below your means (even when your income grows)House hacking, renting out your primary, and being a one‑car householdUsing medium‑term rentals and short‑term rentals to get more “juice from the squeeze”Kelsey's nine real estate eras: Disbelief, Hustle, Lucky/Harvest, Enjoyment, Opportunistic, Debt Payoff, Coast, and “Sell It All”The tension between hustling hard and actually allowing yourself to enjoy what you've builtIf you're a woman investing in real estate and you want inspiration, real numbers, and a roadmap for building a small‑but‑mighty portfolio that supports your values (not just your ego), you'll feel right at home in this conversation with Kelsey.

Thinking about house flipping or passive rental investing?One can help you build capital faster. The other can help you build wealth without adding another job to your life. But do you really have to choose just one?On this Not Your Average Investor Show, Gregg sits down with JWB investor Justine Herrera, who has experienced both sides of real estate investing. She completed three successful flips before using that capital to buy her first long-term JWB rental and she still sees a place for both strategies.They'll break down:✅ How active and passive real estate can work together✅ When flipping can help fund a long-term rental strategy✅ How to own rentals without creating another job for yourself✅ Why the highest possible rent may not always be the best financial decision✅ How to build a real estate strategy around your long-term goalsThey'll also look at a real decision from Justine's JWB property: Should you accept lower rent to keep a good resident or hold out for more and risk vacancy and turn costs?Gregg will break down the numbers so you can see why “prioritizing occupancy” can sometimes be the smarter move.Listen NOW!Chapters:00:00 Meet Justine Herrera02:22 Quarterly Market Outlook03:35 Justine's Real Estate Why06:42 From Flips to Turnkey07:44 Renewal Win Win Story10:02 Property Management Reality14:44 Helping Friends Invest22:32 Active vs Passive Strategy24:58 Flipping Risks Today28:19 Active Funds Passive Goals29:08 Solo Flipping Stress29:42 Finding a True Partner30:20 Flips to Passive Wealth31:52 Justine Numbers Disclaimer33:08 First Turnkey Purchase34:00 Why This One Worked35:47 Year One Performance37:40 Incentives Boost Cashflow38:47 Pac Man Principle Explained40:20 Reverse Pac Man Market44:56 Rent Comps Q and A48:35 Justine Advice and Next Steps53:06 Community Wrap and Call54:32 Next Week Rate Trap55:02 Final Sign OffStay connected to us! Join our real estate investor community LIVE: https://jwbrealestatecapital.com/nyai/Schedule a Turnkey strategy call: https://jwbrealestatecapital.com/turnkey/ *Get social with us:*Subscribe to our channel  @notyouraverageinvestor  Subscribe to  @JWBRealEstateCompanies  

Joe Jensen sits down with Seth Williams, founder of REtipster.com and one of the early pioneers of the land investing niche. Seth shares how he got started in 2008 by buying underpriced parcels from tax-delinquent lists through direct mail, using only about $3,000 to buy vacant land for a few hundred dollars and resell it for two to three times more. He explains why the 2008 crash created unusual opportunities, how vacant land offered a lower-risk way to start in real estate, and why flipping land can be simpler than houses because there are fewer moving parts, no tenants, and no major repairs. The conversation also covers Seth's move into self storage, including how he bought land in 2021, went through rezoning, entitlement, planning, and construction, and built a facility in West Michigan that opened in August 2023. Seth breaks down why self storage gives him more long-term income potential and better tax write-offs than vacant land, while still being relatively hands-off when set up correctly. He also shares how he now funds land deals for other operators, why funding solves a major problem for land flippers, and how partnering with someone experienced can help newer investors avoid bad deals.

Have questions? Send me a text hereWelcome to my 150th episode!  Thanks to all my listeners wherever you happen to be.  I'm looking forward to what the future brings us! Today's topic is a little different but a very important and growing occurrence- Bad Instructions!Have you tried setting up a new account on a new platform or website lately?  Have you noticed the instructions were mostly useless? There seems to be a growing backlash against AI and at the same time a growing dependency and utilization of AI. We've gotten ourselves into a bit of a pickle. Here's what is happening. We use AI more and more every day and we complain about it more and more every day. So what's the problem and how does it affect our business and our financial momentum?  It's not the AI technology itself that's a problem.  It's the results that we allow it to produce and the results that we accept apparently without any oversight.  Useless instructions are a prime example of a direct or indirect result of using, or maybe overusing AI.  I would love to hear from you. Send me a text message by clicking the link above this description.  You can ask a question, leave a comment or just say hello.  I look forward to hearing from you!Subscribe to the  Financial Momentum Newsletter where we discuss ideas and tools to build momentum in your business and life!  The newsletter is FREE and delivered to your inbox once a week.   Click here to subscribe!

One of the biggest stumbling blocks many entrepreneurs and high-achievers face is believing they can figure almost anything out on their own. Asking for help often feels like admitting weakness. But sometimes, the very thing standing between you and the next level of your life is your willingness to admit you don't have all the answers.Today's guest, Nathan Thomas, knows firsthand how powerful that realization can be. After years of struggling with addiction and nearly destroying his life, Nate got sober, embraced humility working as a barista, and eventually worked his way up to become VP at Goldman Sachs.But he soon realized that the corporate world wasn't his calling and went on to become co-founder and CEO of Shmoody, a mental health and wellness platform that has reached millions of users. Fast forward to today, and he's now in the final steps of releasing his first book, Ask for Help, using his own story to show people how they can change their lives by asking for help, both spiritually and practically.In our conversation, Nate shares his remarkable journey from addiction and rock bottom to sobriety, entrepreneurship, and a life centered around serving others. We also discuss how those experiences reshaped his definition of success, the lessons he's carried into building Shmoody, and why some of life's greatest breakthroughs can come from being willing to admit you don't have all the answers.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why asking for help isn't a sign of weakness and how putting your ego aside can unlock relationships, mentorship, and opportunities you couldn't create alone.✅ Why the best mentors, peer groups, and relationships often require you to step outside your comfort zone and ask people you admire for their help. ✅ Why taking action matters more than controlling the outcome and how reframing rejection can give you the courage to pursue bigger opportunities.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/307Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Tune in as the team discusses:Why new land investors should resist jumping from county to county after one disappointing mailing campaign.How becoming an expert in one county makes pricing, due diligence, marketing, and sales more efficient.Jon's experience working the same primary county for nearly nine years without running out of opportunities.Why mailing the same owners repeatedly can keep you top of mind when they eventually decide to sell.How relationships with county staff, title companies, photographers, realtors, and local service providers create long-term advantages.Why other active land investors in a county can be a positive signal instead of competition to fear.How acquisition pricing and sales velocity can reveal when a county—or your strategy within it—needs adjustment.When wholesaling can make more sense than continuing to mail for increasingly expensive acquisitions.How expanding into another market can add different price points, climates, property types, and buyer audiences.Why market data matters more than personally loving or living near the land you invest in.TIP OF THE WEEKScott Bossman: Stay focused on a primary county long enough to become an expert. Repeated mailings, stronger local relationships, and deeper market knowledge can compound your results over time.Mike Zaino: Before leaving a county, look at your pricing, marketing, and expectations. If you bought the property correctly, you can adjust your strategy or wholesale it rather than abandoning the market too quickly.Jon Burnett: Don't pivot just because your first mailing misses the mark. Adjust your offers, pay attention to what the market is telling you, and keep digging before deciding the county doesn't work.WANT MORE?Enjoyed this episode?

Send us Fan MailFinancial freedom doesn't always require earning more—it may require building better systems.When Ann Pells' husband lost his job, she was home with three children under three and no additional income. The experience shattered her belief that education, employment, and hard work automatically created financial security. It also launched a decades-long journey to understand assets, multiple income streams, mortgage acceleration, business ownership, and money mindset.Ann joins Joey Pinz to explain why high earners can still feel trapped, how financial pressure affects families, and why replacing “I can't” with “How can I?” can change the direction of your life. She discusses paying down half her mortgage in two years, learning to evaluate financial opportunities more carefully, using trusted experts, and choosing established systems instead of attempting to master everything alone.This conversation goes beyond accumulating money. Ann believes genuine wealth should provide time, flexibility, stronger relationships, peace of mind, and the freedom to help others. Her story demonstrates how a frightening financial crisis can become the foundation for a more purposeful legacy.Top three highlights

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Rachel Richards, bestselling author of Money Honey and Passive Income Aggressive Retirement, to talk about building financial independence, investing in real estate, and redefining what retirement really means. Rachel shares how growing up in a household that struggled financially shaped her relationship with money and motivated her to become financially independent at a young age. She explains how she went from earning a modest salary to buying her first duplex at 24, building a portfolio of boarding houses, and eventually reaching financial independence at 27. The conversation also explores Rachel's experience with the FIRE movement, including why she believes extreme frugality can be useful at certain stages but can eventually become counterproductive. She and Jonathan discuss the difference between financial independence and time freedom, and why having something meaningful to retire to can be just as important as having enough money to retire. Rachel also opens up about walking away from the successful social media business she built after realizing it had become a source of burnout rather than fulfillment. She shares what she learned about identity, external validation, and finding purpose after stepping away from a business that had become a major part of her life. Finally, Rachel and Jonathan discuss financial education, relationships, prenups, investing with a partner, and why building a stable income before pursuing entrepreneurship can give you the freedom to take smarter risks. In this episode, you will hear: How growing up with financial stress shaped Rachel's approach to money and motivated her to become financially independent How Rachel bought her first duplex at 24 and eventually built a portfolio of boarding houses and rental properties Why Rachel believes extreme frugality can help you build wealth but can become harmful when you no longer need it What Rachel learned about retirement, identity, and fulfillment after stepping away from her social media business Why financial education, stable income, prenups, and open conversations about money are critical to building a stronger financial future Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Okay this was a week

This week, we pull back the curtain on the BRRRR method and share why it's not just a five-step formula—it's five big decisions that can make or break your portfolio.We walk through Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat from the perspective of women actively building portfolios, and we talk honestly about the mistakes we've made so you don't have to. We talk about getting crystal clear on your buy box, choosing the right markets, and making sure each BRRRR actually supports the lifestyle and long-term goals you want—not just what looks good in a spreadsheet.We dig into how to rehab for durability and longevity (not just cute, cheap finishes), including siding, materials, contractors, W-9s, and handling those awkward “cash only” contractor conversations. We also touch on tenant selection, setting boundaries, and treating your rentals like the business they are.Then we go deep on refinancing—rates, lenders, CLTV, appraisals, and how our community has helped us challenge low appraisals and negotiate better terms. Finally, we share why the “Repeat” step should always include a post-mortem so each BRRRR gets better, easier, and more aligned with your version of financial freedom.If you're a female real estate investor looking to scale with BRRRR more intentionally, this episode is for you.

Have you ever wondered what makes the wealthiest families, like the Rockefellers, so successful? They don't try to maximize the return on every dollar. Instead, they build diversified portfolios with different assets serving different purposes to provide liquidity, stability, and access to capital when opportunities arise.That's why I'm excited to welcome Brock Fortner back to the podcast. Brock is a wealth strategist at Stone Century Financial and a longtime member of the Lifestyle Investor Mastermind who has become one of my most trusted resources on dividend-paying whole life insurance. I've personally used whole life policies for nearly 25 years to store cash, fund investments, and create greater flexibility with my capital.In our conversation, Brock and I challenge some of the conventional thinking around asset allocation, the traditional 60/40 portfolio, and the idea that every dollar needs to earn the highest possible return. We also talked about teaching the next generation to think differently about money and some of the costly mistakes people make when choosing and structuring life insurance.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ The incredible benefits and flexibility of using whole life insurance in your cash and fixed-income portion of your portfolio.✅ How borrowing against your policy creates liquidity to quickly capitalize on new investment opportunities.✅ How wealthy families use whole life insurance to build a family banking system and transfer wealth for multiple generations.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/306Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

The version of you who thinks debt is the enemy has never heard it explained this way. Sharran Srivatsaa went from dumpster-diving for food his first week of college to running Acquisition.com alongside Alex and Layla Hormozi, and the money rules he lives by now would sound insane to the kid who once got mugged for $100 within seven hours of landing in America. He talks about the ratchet clause that quietly shrank a $47 million payout down to under $5 million, and why that single contract mistake sent him to business school and Wall Street to learn the language money is actually written in. You will hear why he thinks money loves speed but wealth loves time, why every goal needs an actual plan instead of a wish, and why the four money monsters (inflation, taxes, interruption, fees) are quietly eating your future more than any bad investment ever could. He also gets honest about losing a million dollars to a con artist who vanished three days after cashing his check, and the four questions he now asks before trusting anyone with his money again. This one will change how you think about your 401k, your credit card, and the number you have been waiting to hit before you finally feel free. Press play and start rewriting your own rules about money today. Acquisition Sharran's Website Sharran's Youtube Instagram Facebook In this episode you will: Discover the “four goods” framework (good people, good intentions, good rationale, good contracts) for vetting any partner or deal before you sign Rewire the belief that debt is inherently bad and learn how to use it strategically to build financial freedom Climb Sharran's Wealth Ladder and Golden Stairways models to turn a first income stream into lasting, passive wealth Guard against the Four Money Monsters, inflation, taxes, interruption, and fees, that quietly erode your returns Apply the Past-Present-Future and Context-Issue-Risk-Steps frameworks to make sharper, faster money decisions For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1975 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

Tune in as the team discusses: Why affordable rural land remains a “blue ocean” with relatively little competition. How investors can reverse-engineer promising markets by studying where other land investors are actively selling. Why accessible, buildable land with recreational potential can be easier to resell. How large rural subdivisions can create repeatable opportunities for building a scalable land business. Why beginners should focus on mailing, marketing, and sales before overcomplicating their systems. How a strong “why,” grit, and persistence separate long-term investors from those who quit. Why comparing your progress to other investors can create unnecessary frustration. Strategies for negotiating high seller counteroffers using property conditions, comparable purchases, and convenience. How offering sellers a fast, simple transaction can justify buying land at a discount. The basic process of moving from an accepted offer through due diligence, deed recording, and seller payment. TIP OF THE WEEK Mark Podolsky: Build your business around a powerful reason for succeeding and develop the grit to keep showing up when the work feels uncomfortable. Long-term persistence matters more than chasing quick wins.Scott Bossman: Study land-selling websites to see where other investors are successfully selling affordable properties. Reverse-engineering active markets can quickly show you where deals may already be working.Jon Burnett: Look for markets with plenty of repeatable inventory and properties that are accessible, usable, and buildable. A market you can work repeatedly is more valuable than constantly searching for the next county. WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

Screw The Commute Podcast Show Notes Episode 1167 This is turning out to be a phone tip week! I got so many darn phone tips. I did one Friday and Monday and today, and probably I might do one more this Friday just to make it a clean sweep. But I'll tell you what, if you take advantage of some of these simple tips that just nobody taught you, you're like, oh my God, that was easy. And I've been struggling with this, so you don't want to do that. Also, if you really get into it, which you should, because that phone's in your hand all day anyway. Go to screwthecommute.com/training, then hit command F or control F and put in the word phone and you'll bring in all the past phone episodes. And you Android folks. Sorry, I don't know how to do it on Android, but what I want you to do is take the tip and then just Google it on how to do it on Android, because it'll do most of the same stuff.

Joining us on this episode of Living Off Rentals is someone who went from one duplex to 38 rental units in just two years — and retired from her full-time job before turning 30. Rachel Richards is a real estate investor and author of Money Honey and Passive Income, Aggressive Retirement. She built her portfolio using a rent-by-the-room strategy that generated far more cash flow than traditional rentals, and by 2022 had grown her passive income to $20,000 a month. Listen as she shares how she scaled from one duplex to 38 units, why she focused on cash flow instead of counting doors, and how a $10,000 monthly income goal gave her the freedom to walk away from her job. She also opens up about turning her Denver home into a 4-unit house hack she now lives in for free, getting burned by contractors along the way, and the hard lesson from her divorce that changed how she thinks about protecting what you build — including why she now recommends a prenup. Enjoy the show!

Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast with returning guest Dan Zitofsky, an author, entrepreneur, retired law enforcement and military veteran, health advocate, and full-time real estate investor with 36 years of experience in the business. Dan has done it all - fix and flips, buy and hold, single family, multifamily, capital raising - and is now one of the most respected voices in seller financing and self-financed notes, having realized that the best seat in real estate investing is being the bank. Dan shares how he transitioned from house flipping to a passive income model built on self-financed notes and long-term single-family rentals, why he believes most people fail simply because they never take action, and where he sees investors getting seller financing and subject-to deals dangerously wrong right now. He also opens up about his new focus on teaching financial literacy to families, helping them retire early. In this episode we discuss: ✅ Why single-family rental investing is not dead (and how to still make it profitable) ✅ The right way to structure seller-financed notes as an actual business ✅ Subject-to deals and creative financing: where investors are getting it wrong ✅ Lessons from over 4,000 real estate transactions and 36 years in the business ✅ Using AI as a tool without losing your personal brand and relationships + more Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced investor working in residential, commercial, land development, wholesaling, or fix and flip, this episode is packed with hard-won lessons on due diligence, raising private money the right way, and building a real estate business that lasts decades instead of one that burns out in a few years.   Connect with Dan: www.zitofskycapitalmanagement.com/ Dan Zitofsky on Instagram Dan Zitofsky on Facebook Dan Zitofsky on YouTube Dan Zitofsky on LinkedIn   Become a real estate investor with Dan Zitofsky Facebook group --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Podcast@NickNickNick.com Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers

This week, we are diving into why so many experienced female real estate investors hit a wall after their third or fourth property—and exactly how to move past it. We talk about what happens when the numbers stop penciling, even though you know real estate works because it's already worked for you.  We're breaking down the biggest reasons you're feeling stuck, including: Why not having a true buy box (with real metrics, not vibes) keeps you in analysis paralysis How “Is this a good deal?” is the wrong question—and what to ask instead The trap of trying to eliminate all risk and how that kills every deal on your spreadsheet Why waiting for a “home run” deal is keeping you from building long-term wealth How your next best deal might already be in your portfolio through refinancing, restrategizing, or selling The power of a sanity check and surrounding yourself with other women investors who get it If you're a woman on deals 4–10 who's tired of spinning your wheels alone, this episode will help you see what's really holding you back and give you practical ways to start making confident offers again.       Resources: Get on the waitlist for the WIIRE Community Grab our SOP Templates Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenant Make sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community  Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Leave us a review on Spotify Join our private Facebook Community Connect with us on Instagram

Send us Fan MailOn Multifamily AP360, Neal Bawa says his view has shifted: supply and interest rates now drive multifamily profits more than demographics, and inaccurate third‑party permit tracking in 2022–2023 missed about 30% extra supply that contributed to widespread negative rent growth across major growth markets. He describes using AI to scrape county permit data and to improve operations, arguing the industry underuses AI beyond underwriting. Examples include an AI “Secret Shop” system that tests lead follow-up speed and quality across owned properties and 86 competitors, and an AI-assisted camera workflow that creates timesheets and uncovered employee time theft. Bawa says the broader multifamily market isn't distressed, but syndication is shrinking sharply; pricing is fair given higher rates and weaker rents. He would buy in low-tax/low-insurance, supply-absorbed markets like Boise, avoid markets with significant incoming supply, and warns underwriting assumptions for rent growth and cap compression are often unrealistic.

Send us Fan MailRama interviews Jens Nielsen, a former IT/telecom professional turned full-time commercial real estate investor and certified high performance coach who has partnered in 2,700+ apartment units and industrial assets, helped raise $10M+ in private equity, and participated in $250M+ of projects. Nielsen explains how rising interest rates, higher taxes, and surging insurance costs widened the buyer-seller pricing gap, prompting him to pause multifamily acquisitions and shift to value-add industrial/flex deals with higher cap rates (often 8–10%) in markets like Albuquerque, focusing on smaller in-city warehouses around 30–35K square feet with low vacancy. He highlights asset management as a key weakness hurting returns, stresses transparent, regular investor updates when performance falters, urges unlearning 3–4% rate assumptions and avoiding short-term bridge debt, and emphasizes conservative underwriting, long-term holds, patience, technology/AI adoption, and consistent capital raising. He also shares coaching principles, daily habits, a book on spending aligned with happiness, and directs listeners to jensnielsen.us.
