Building unshakable wealth is a goal many aspire to but rarely achieve. Today’s guest teaches others how to achieve financial stability using real estate and financial education.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Larisa Olteanu. Larisa is the founder and CEO of Unshakeable Wealth, which spearheads the movement to make financial independence a necessity instead of a luxury. Larisa is also the bestselling author of “Destined for Wealth: Master the Art of a Prosperous Life.”

Jonathan and Larisa begin their conversation by exploring her experience as an immigrant to the U.S., how retaining her W2 job helped pave the way to success, and her struggle to figure out the U.S. financial system when she first arrived. You’ll hear what Larisa learned from a manager at her W2 job about investing, why you must take action in real estate, and networking with others to create great deals down the road. Larisa shares the story behind her first buy, her hope for blessing others through real estate, and what Unshakeable Wealth does for its clients.

Starting from scratch with $20 in her pocket could have prevented Larisa Olteanu from pursuing a real estate investing career. Instead, she leaned into learning and is helping others change their lives.

In this episode, you will hear:

Larisa Olteanu’s path to real estate as a new immigrant to the U.S. and how a W2 job helped her pave the way to success
Figuring out the U.S. financial system, learning English, and finding a way to stay in the country legally

The different paths people take in real estate investing and why you have to take action

Building relationships over time to make great real estate deals
Using real estate to bless others and helping sellers solve their problems

226: How To Rebuild Your Financial Future One Property At a Time with Melissa Nash 51:56

för 25 dagar sedan51:56

51:56

Securing a solid financial future is often the biggest reason people enter the world of real estate investing, which doesn’t require attaining as many properties as you may believe. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Melissa Nash, founder of Lady Luck Investments, which emerged out of necessity. Melissa built a portfolio that secured her family’s financial future in less than six years. Now, she’s teaching other women how they can do the same. Melissa wants to change the story of women in real estate and create a legacy of wealth and empowerment. Jonathan and Melissa start their conversation with the story of Melissa’s grandmother-in-law, who began investing in real estate in Los Angeles in the 1960s. Melissa shares her difficulties as a female investor today, her early failures due to her unwillingness to learn, and how a mentor introduced her to turnkey real estate. She highlights the success she eventually found with a Section 8 property, eventually leading to buying some short-term rentals, and explains why she self-manages her properties rather than paying a property manager.

218: How To Become a Professional Remote Real Estate Investor with Michael Albaum 49:54

för 8 weeks sedan49:54

49:54

With today’s technology, becoming a real estate investor is possible without ever seeing the properties you buy. This is the path many would-be investors take when they live in more expensive areas like California. Today’s guest is one such investor. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Michael Albaum, a professional real estate investor with over 12 years of experience. Michael is an Airbnb Superhost and the founder of myFI, which stands for financial independence. Jonathan and Michael begin their conversation by delving into Michael’s path to remote investing through a property in Southern California. Michael shares how he began to scale his business as he better understood costs in various parts of the country. You’ll hear how coliving with roommates helped Michael get his business off the ground, the importance of finding an unbiased party to evaluate properties for you remotely, and what drew him to multifamily and mixed-use properties as he expanded. He also outlines the difference between financial independence and financial freedom, the benefits of retaining a W2, and Michael’s recommendation to put in offers on homes even when you know they will be rejected. Finally, he shares why he loves midterm rentals and what he sees changing for them in the future. Real estate can be prohibitively expensive for investing in some parts of the country, but Michael Albaum teaches others how to find investing opportunities in lesser-known areas and create opportunities to build a legacy. In this episode, you will hear: Michael Albaum’s path to remote investing and his early interest in real estate The fears surrounding remote investing and how systems can help mitigate the fear His first property in Southern California and how his dad helped him evaluate the property with numbers instead of emotions Scaling the business and understanding costs in various parts of the country Coliving and community living while investing in real estate Finding an unbiased eye to help evaluate properties for you when buying remotely Moving into multifamily and mixed-use The difference between financial independence and financial freedom and the role a W2 plays in that Why it’s okay not to have all the answers when you start and making offers you know will be rejected The importance of firsthand experience Michael’s plans for the future and his focus on his coaching and education business What he likes about midterm rentals versus short-term and long-term Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
