Why This Former Accountant Is in LOVE with Mobile Home Parks with Alina Trigub Jul 26, 2019

Show notes

While “multifamily” investing is still very hot, mobile home parks can be just as lucrative as an investment. Today we chat with a former accountant, Alina Trigub to discuss why she decided to diversify beyond Wall Street into real estate. We cover so much with Alina, including advantages of passively investing, best educational resources for learning syndications, the “in’s and out’s” of mobile home park investments, and a simple 4 step process to work through difficult emotions. Alina is the founder and the Managing Partner of SAMO Financial. It’s a boutique private equity firm specializing in helping a select group of people passively invest in the commercial real estate. She welcomes warm introductions of accredited investors that are looking (1) for help to preserve their wealth, (2) to find ways to save on taxes, and (3) make an additional passive stream of income. Her business motto has been articulated well by Warren Buffett's indicating that, "Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago". She is the founder of two Meetup groups named, “The Power of Passive Investing through Real Estate”, which gather in NY and NJ. In addition, Alina offers educational webinars in collaboration with various administrators of self-directed IRA companies. Topics revolve around aspects of getting started investing in syndications by using funds in solo 401k or self-directed retirement plans. Alina has helped her clients to acquire and invest in over 1200 apartment doors, over 10MM Fund focused on self-storage, and over 5MM Fund focused on mobile home parks and storage. On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Alina, including: How to work through difficult emotions The difference between passive and active investors The power of syndications Why vetting the syndicator is just as important as vetting the deal How to properly vet a syndicator The “ins and outs” of mobile home park investing Biggest mistakes investors can make when evaluating mobile home park investments Contact Information Via email - alina@samofinancial.com Via website - samofinancial.com Via LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alinatrigub/ Books/Resources: Best Ever Book on Syndication by Joe Fairlesss It’s a Whole New Business by Gene Trowbridge Whitney Sewell’s Podcast on Real Estate Syndication Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod You are a Badass by Jen Sincero InvestHER Community Join us on our mission to support and empower as many women as we can to live a financially free and balanced life.

From Stay at Home Mom of 9 to Buying a Foreclosed Resort with Melanie McCallen Jul 19, 2019

Show notes

Is it possible that an investor’s first real estate syndication would be a foreclosed winery – a winery that produced the same Champaign that JFK used at his inaugural ball in 1961? The answer is YES and on today’s episode with Melanie McCallen, we chat about her path to buying a foreclosed winery and resort in New Jersey called Renault Winery Resort & Golf. We cover a lot with this mom of 9 from why she loves hospitality, why syndications are so powerful, the #1 strategy to building relationships with investors, failing forward and how her skills as a mom prepared her for this life-changing venture. Melanie McCallen is a partner in both Vivamée Hospitality and Accountable Equity, where she manages various designers and architects, as well as serves investors directly. She and her husband Josh are passionate about taking on hospitality projects together. Being the oldest of 10 and now a mother of 9, Melanie believes her family is the reason genuine hospitality comes naturally to her. “I think when we explain that to investors, it touches them as well. Your passion comes through when it’s authentic.” Before starting a family, Melanie earned her Bachelors in Education from the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio. She has since had opportunities to live in various cities around the globe, including Austria, where her first child went to kindergarten. On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Melanie, including: Why her and husband love hospitality Foreclosed resort real estate #1 Strategy to build relationships with prospective investors How she transferred her skills as a “stay at home” mom to buying this resort Simply way to motivate children into action Failing forward and importance of investing in your marriage Contact Information Renault Winery Resort & Golf (located in New Jersey) - https://www.renaultwinery.com/ Melanie’s company website – https://www.accountableequity.com/ Invitation to Join Melanie and her team at their next Learn & Grow Event at Renault Winery & Resort You can’t miss this event!

How She Uses a “Velvet Hammer” to Renovate and Flip Homes with Angela Florie Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

Let’s face it. The construction world is still male-dominated. In order to be successful in flipping and renovating homes as a woman, you need to have grace but also have the ability to be the hammer as well. On today’s episode, we chat with Angela Florie from Long Island, New York. She talks about her journey from moving from Colombia to NYC to pursue her dreams in design. After years in advertising, she realized something was missing and after soul searching, she realized real estate is where she wanted to be. We discuss money saving lessons she wished she knew on her first fix and flip project, why “numbers are queen,” why she loves to find properties with problems, and how she navigates a male dominated world with the use of a “velvet hammer.” Angela Florie is originally from Bogota, Colombia. She moved to NYC to pursue her Masters at Parsons School of Design (the best design school in the world!). Over the next 10 years, she got promoted a few times, changed agencies a couple of times and traveled the country meeting clients, but in the back of her head she knew something was missing. After some soul searching, she decided to launch her own company in June of 2015 focused on renovating and flipping homes in one of the most expensive markets in the country - New York. Her company, Grand Central Real Estate, LLC has grown since 2015 and not only renovates their own projects, but is also a licensed General Contractor helping homeowners renovate their homes. On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Angela, including: Value of coaching Key lessons from 1st Flip and why “Numbers are Queen” What she wished she had done on her first flip Most important way to STAY ahead of schedule Finding properties who have problems How she navigated the construction world as a “velvet hammer” Most important way to THRIVE when working together with your spouse Reach out to Angela: Website: grandcentralrealestate.com Social Media: Instagram and Facebook - Angela Florie Books/Resources: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill InvestHER Community Join us on our mission to support and empower as many women as we can to live a financially free and balanced life.
