For over twenty years, Leslie helped high-profile clients like SpaceX and closed a $50 million private equity deal. She applies the same underwriting strategy to building her growing real estate portfolio.

From the minute she closed on her first investment cabin in 2019, she knew she had made the right choice. The cash flow allowed her to rapidly scale her portfolio to double digits and a value of $7 million in less than three years. Besides that, Leslie fell in love with Tennessee and moved there in 2020. She quickly founded two sister companies; a property acquisition company, Invest in the Smoky Mountains, and Josh’s Cabins Management, a full-service property management company. Her one-stop shop allows out-of-state investors an opportunity to create passive income by offering concierge-style service to guests without the hassle of self-management.

She travels extensively throughout the United States as a highly sought-after motivational speaker focusing on the incredibly lucrative short-term rental asset class. Recognizing the lack of women real estate investors, Leslie has made it her mission to be a driving force to empower women to begin real estate investing. She aims to empower 1,000 women to become millionaires by investing in short-term rentals. She has been featured on ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS networks. In addition, she is a popular guest on highly-rated real estate podcasts and most recently was highlighted by the Tennessee Department of Tourism Board.

192. Breaking Down the Barriers For Multifamily with Justin Moy

Wed, 24 May 2023 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with Justin Moy on the 192nd episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast. Justin shares his experience and expertise in building wealth through apartment syndications and helping investors invest passively in this sought-after asset class.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Tax advantages of investing in real estate
Why can't people rely on traditional retirement accounts anymore?
Passive ways of investing in real estate
The most significant risks in investing in real estate or a syndication
And so much more!

About Justin Moy:

Justin has been in real estate as a career in his entire professional life. He started out selling single-family homes in the 3rd most competitive market in the country and was able to become a top producer within his 2nd year at the largest firm in the area.

Through that experience, Justin realized there was a difference between being rich and being wealthy. He started to look for ways to turn my high transactional income into long-term wealth so I could start to buy back my time.

When he learned about apartment syndications, everything clicked for him. It provided a significantly quicker time to large financial returns than investing in SFHs, it provided a truly passive form of real estate investing, and it provided the ability to leverage the knowledge and time of industry experts.

After Justin discovered this niche in passive real estate investing,he dove in with both feet, now doing everything he can to spread the word about this investing type because he truly believes if all career-driven professionals understood it and knew about it, there isn’t anyone who wouldn’t participate.

With no prior experience in real estate, Nathan decided to learn by taking massive imperfect action and by failing his way forward. 5 years now, he is the co-owner of Offer On Homes, his real estate investing company, and Investor Thrive, a coaching company dedicated to helping wholesalers and real estate investors acquire more real estate the painless way!

168. Get a Grip on Your Finances with Joe DiSanto

Importance of personal and business budgets.
Taking the big leap and starting a business.
How to invest in real estate outside the area you live.
How to plan for retirement and when you should start
And so much more!

About Joe DiSanto:

Joe DiSanto spent his childhood riding BMX bikes, breakdancing, and memorizing 80’s movies, but the carefree days of youth wouldn’t last long. By 13 he was working as a busboy, helping his recently-divorced mom, and picking up some of his own tab. A valuable lesson was learned: If you don’t deal with your money, your money will deal with you.

From that point on, he made it his mission to learn everything he could about making smart money moves. It paid off. By age 30, Joe had wiped out $70k in student loans, bought his first house, and started a post-production company in Los Angeles. Over the next decade, the company grew to 30+ employees with over 5 million in annual revenue, while producing two critically-acclaimed documentaries and an Emmy-winning HBO series. During this time, he and his wife also transacted on 15 residential and commercial real estate properties.

But nothing had a more life-changing impact than the birth of their son. After a successful 19-year run in L.A., the couple decided to slow down and invest in their new family. They cashed out of the business and bought into small-town life on the Florida coast. Having semi-retired at age 43, Joe’s efforts are now focused on his educational blog Play Louder.

118. Building a Personal Finance Tool for Everyone with Tyson Koska

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with Tyson Koska on the 118th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast. Tyson shares how he got his first taste of entrepreneurism at age 13 and how that experience gave him his first sense of Financial Independence.

How being in a Corporate IT led Tyson to do personal finance
How the On Trajectory Software help other people plan out their personal finances
Managing your FOMO (fear of missing out) and YOLO (You only live once) mentality

About Tyson Koska:

Tyson is a former helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army at the age of 20. He found himself the most in-debt even though he was making more money than ever before. Luckily, he was able to pay down that debt while deployed to Desert Storm – and another important financial lesson was learned.

After leaving the military, and with fresh GI Bill funds in-hand, he earned a Bachelor's degree in English and, later, a Master's degree in Philosophy. Since neither of those degrees managed to pay the bills, Tyson turned to I.T.

Spending the next 25 years in software development and working for large corporations in banking and insurance, Tyson founded OnTrajectory.com – a personal finance tool for both regular folks as well as professionals. Securing investment funds in 2021, Tyson is leading OnTrajectory into a new growth phase, in which he hopes to bring easy-to-use and accurate financial modeling to the masses.

Sun, 31 Jul 2022 05:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with Brent Bowers on the 109th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast to discuss land investing and what he does with that. Brent is the CEO of ZechBuysHouses LLC. He shares what drove him toward real estate despite the market beginning to crash during that time.

To be in the Army while doing real estate
Brent’s first bought property
The discovery of land investing
Specific qualities to look for from partners

About Brent Bowers:
As an Army officer with over eight years of service, Brent Bowers was spending a great deal of time away from his family, and he knew he needed to make some changes in order to be more present with his wife and children. His interest in real estate began in 2007 when he purchased his first home, so Brent began exploring real estate investing to support his family while enjoying more time with them.

In a short amount of time, Brent was able to expand his business, hire a team, and (most importantly) spend quality time with his family while still working hard and helping others. While Brent invests in many different types of real estate, his favorite investment strategy deals with buying and selling vacant land. He enjoys sharing his expertise in this area with his coaching clients. Brent chooses to live his life based on Bob Burg’s quote, “Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.” He is passionate about helping other people find success in real estate investing, particularly in land investments.

Brent Bowers is currently the CEO of ZechBuysHouses LLC. Vacant Land of the Free, Discounted Houses Colorado Springs, Rent2Own Colorado, and Co-Working & Shared Space are all under the ZechBuysHouses Brand.

104. Financial Planning and Credit Card Hacking with Eric Simonson

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with Eric Simonson on the 104th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast to discuss financial planning and credit card hacking. Eric is a certified financial planner and the founder of Abundo Wealth. He shares what made him take the path of becoming a financial planner and how they put their clients first in their company.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

About an English major with a business degree
When Eric quit his job and started his own business
Personal journey toward financial freedom
Travel hacks using credit card points
Make the most out of credit card rewards
And much more!

About Eric Simonson:

While working as a financial advisor in corporate America for over a decade, Abundo Wealth’s founder, Eric Simonson, saw a need to help people who didn’t have access to work with a traditional advisor. Since most advisors require people have a certain amount of money to work with them, a lot of people who needed help couldn’t get it.

Eric left his corporate job and launched a different model: one where he was only paid for giving honest advice that benefited his clients, not himself. He built Abundo around a system called Flat Fee Financial Planning, eliminating all conflicts of interest without overcharging for professional advice.

Sun, 29 May 2022 09:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with Phil Better on the 96th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast to talk about the potential of podcasting as a business. Phil is a podcaster who runs six podcasts as host and co-host and is also an executive producer of podcasts for entrepreneurs, business owners, and influencers.

Who is Phil Lemieux?
Passion for podcasting and turning it to a business
How to monetize a podcast
Be your own boss
Grow a show with authenticity and knowledge
And much more!

About Phil Better:
Phil’s interest in podcasting began when he heard one of Kevin Smith’s podcasts on the network Smodcast back in 2014. Since then, he has been listening to a varied genre of podcasts to constantly be up to date with the latest knowledge when it comes to podcasting.

In November 2017, he took the plunge and started his first podcast, The Phil Better Show. The show went on hiatus in 2020, but at the same time, Phil’s drive to become a successful Entrepreneur kicked into high gear. After a few failed attempts and some inner soul searching, he decided to start Investing In Himself by doing the one thing he’s great at... Connecting with people.

Phil’s drive to be known globally as The Podcast Mogul means he is always looking to help independent podcasters monetize their show by offering free 30-minute sessions that he hopes to turn into another podcast when he has the time.

After getting the inspiration and courage, he then started writing his own blog and ended up retiring at the age of 41.

70. Meet the Networth Nurse with Savannah Arroyo

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with his guest, Savannah Arroyo, on the 70th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast. Today, they discuss the similarities between working in the healthcare system and syndicating real estate investments. Savannah is a full-time registered nurse, managing multiple departments at a busy, Magnet-recognized hospital. But she is also a real estate investor, focusing on value-add multifamily syndications. Today, Savannah shares her journey, from finding herself in various leadership positions in hospitals to working with the highest level of real estate professionals.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

● The value of building multiple income streams to offset our W2S and retire sooner.

● How multifamily allows investors to pool their resources to get the best deals together.

● The advantage of working in leadership roles when getting into real estate syndication.

● Why we should continually educate ourselves before making any form of investment.

● The importance of building a team and putting systems in place before taking on deals.

● And much more!

About Savannah Arroyo:

When she started working as a registered nurse, Savannah Arroyo naturally found herself in leadership positions. She served on committees, helped lead process improvement initiatives, and solved countless critical situations. And shortly after, Savannah went back to school to receive her Masters of Science in Nursing Leadership and Administration. And since then, Savannah has led clinical services in various settings.

Working as a registered nurse has taught her to thrive in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary team of medical professionals. In addition, Savannah has had the privilege of working with unforgettable patients, brilliant physicians, and caretakers that will forever hold a place in her heart. And so, she was immediately drawn to multifamily syndications due to the many similarities to her career in nursing.

Syndicating a real estate investment requires excellent attention to detail, the ability to problem-solve, and the highest level of communication. Hence, Savannah becomes energized in situations like these as overcoming challenges brings her so much fulfillment. Nowadays, she works under the Willow Investment Group, which seeks out investment opportunities that provide the most optimal returns for its investors.

69. So You Want to Start a Side Hustle? With Carrie Bohlig and Craig Clickner

Sun, 21 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with his guests, Carrie Bohlig and Craig Clickner, on the 69th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast as they talk about venturing into the world of side-hustling. Carrie and Craig met as singles while building their businesses. Living a modest life, Carrie began her business while studying sociology and Women's Studies. Meanwhile, Craig first considered creating his own business while working as a banking risk analyst in 2003. And while their paths to entrepreneurship were different, the two bonded over side-hustling, building each other up and creating the life they wanted together as a family. Today, Carrie and Craig share their experiences to inspire people worldwide to do the same.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

● The value of building good relationships with business owners in affiliate marketing.

● How much of our success results from the people and media we associate with.

● The advantage of honing your communications skills to better connect with people.

● How to grow ourselves as products to monetize our knowledge and skills over time.

● Why vetting our referrals is vital in maintaining our credibility as an affiliate marketer.

● And much more!

About Carrie Bohlig and Craig Clickner:

Carrie Bohlig and Crag Clickner are a Midwestern husband and wife duo who wanted to build an exceptional life and create the autonomy they desired. And so, they knew they had to do more than the mainstream “go to school and get a good job” adage. But, like many, Carrie and Craig were not hardcore enough to quit their jobs and gut out a startup, so instead, they ventured into the world of moderate entrepreneurship, also known as “side hustling.”

The willingness to embrace the side hustling adventure has revolutionized the way they live, allowing them to step away from their traditional careers, becoming full-time parents and entrepreneurs. Having helped others acquire similar results, they now have the privilege of speaking to thousands annually. The couple also shares their foundational success concepts such as implementing the proper “Life set,” elevating the right WHO, and developing a Life Vision in their book, So You Want To Start A Side Hustle.

Unfortunately, Carrie and Craig see too many people starting side hustles but very few who know how to finish them. As such, they look forward to being a resource to support your journey to diversify not only your income but also your skills sets, and most importantly, elevate your quality of life.

David is the CEO of Throne CG and the founder of KP Cares Foundation Inc. Throne CG is an investment consulting firm, while KP Cares is a non-profit geared towards assisting under-resourced communities, bridging the wealth gap. As an investor and philanthropist, David’s mission is to serve and be of service to his community. So today, he continues to show minorities how to gain financial freedom by investing in the stock market.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

● The power of investing and how to know what type of investments work for you.

● The difference between having the right skills for trading and having the discipline for it.

● Ways to better utilize your capital to build and scale a profitable business.

About David Torrence:

David Torrence, also known as King David, is a first-generation college graduate from the University of Central Florida, where he received his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. Additionally, he earned a master’s degree in Sports Management at Liberty University. And so, it is no surprise that his career started in sports.

For a while, David worked as the Director of Strength and Performance at Westminster Academy, training athletes while playing for the Miami Heat. But even then, he knew that being in the sports industry would not be enough for him to have the lifestyle he wanted, given the time you need to dedicate to the field.

Hence, David took up investing and even got his cousin, a financial analyst, to mentor him. And it was not long since then that he achieved financial freedom through investing in the stock market. Now retired at a young age, David gives back to his community by sharing his experience with the stock market so that they too can gain financial independence.

66. Flipping, Crypto Mining, and Real Estate with Chad Wittfeldt

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni with Chad Wittfeldt on the 66th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast to discuss flipping, cryptocurrency mining, and real estate investing. Chad started his journey as an entrepreneur early, flipping anything he got his hands on, then began trading stocks and currencies in his teens and later became very focused on passive income creation. He currently focuses on two real estate businesses and cryptocurrency mining. Today, Chad shares the trials and tribulations he pushed through to get to where he is now.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Chad’s exposure to the rich that got him started into flipping cars and motorcycles

• An expensive lesson taken and learned from a failed business

• The catalyst that drove Chad to invest in real estate and the relationships built around it

• What is being done when mining, staking, and mining cryptocurrency

• Attraction-based marketing and automation to build credibility, authority, and platform

• And much more!

About Chad Wittfeldt:

Chad is an entrepreneur and a real estate investor. He started his entrepreneurial journey at a very young age. He quickly got started investing in equities and currency markets in his teens and later moved into real estate investments. While real estate has always been his interest, he didn’t know how to get into the market at the time effectively. So he put his skill set to use and has since syndicated over $30,000,000 in apartments.

This growth later spawned his marketing agency, where he serves other entrepreneurs by building their attraction-based marketing systems and automation. Today, Chad stays focused on his businesses, creating cash flow, and living a life they told him he couldn’t have.

Join Mike Cavaggioni and Al Jones on the 65th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast as they talk about what financial decisions you can make to achieve a perfect credit score. Al is a personal finance author and a game developer in Phoenix, Arizona. After years of making poor financial decisions, thinking it was the norm, he decided to turn things around by learning finance, specifically credit repair. Today, Al shares his experiences, from barely living on a low credit rating to raising his FICO score to a perfect 850.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

● What to look forward to when reading My Journey from Bad to Excellent Credit.

● The power of “failure” and why we should always see it as a learning experience.

After being honorably discharged from the US Army, Al moved back to his hometown and began creating user-friendly games for mobile devices, live shows, playing cards, and more.

Al also wrote a book called My Journey from Bad to Excellent Credit, where he discusses financial mistakes and a case of identity theft that tanked his score, leading him to many other issues. At the time, he knew something had to change, so he started educating himself about credit repair. As a result, his FICO score was raised from an eight credit rating to a perfect score of 850.

Sun, 17 Oct 2021 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni and Calvin Blankenship on the 64th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast as they talk about setting goals as a new real estate investor. Calvin is an active duty corpsman in the United States Navy who always had an entrepreneurial mindset. However, after trying his hand in network marketing, he ultimately realized his goal to replace his military income with passive and active real estate income as fast as possible. Today, Calvin shares some of his plans to achieve financial freedom in less than three years before scaling to create his own syndication company.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

● The value of being frugal until you find the right vehicle to invest your savings in.

● How the economy of scale in commercial real estate can help skyrocket your earnings.

● What makes real estate a great wealth-building vehicle despite being a long game.

About Calvin Blankenship:

At the age of 16, Calvin Blankenship got involved with a direct sales company, heading the advice of mentors and friends in the same field. And so, for a while, he tried his hand at network marketing, which only proved to be an inefficient way to make passive income. But eventually, Calvin found real estate as the perfect vehicle for him to create a life of financial independence, a goal he has set his eyes on ever since.

Then again, he needed to find a way to make enough money to achieve his life goal sooner than later. And so, Calvin joined the United States Navy years later. After all, what better way to earn a stable income than to serve his own country. Nowadays, Calvin serves active duty as a Navy corpsman while taking planned steps toward scaling and starting his own company.

59. What DIY Investors Need to Succeed with Brendan Lee Young

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni and Brendan Lee Young on the 59th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast as they talk about what DIY investors need to succeed. Brendan is the CEO and co-founder of Passiv, a portfolio management tool designed to help self-directed investors manage and grow their wealth. At Passiv, they believe that our money should work hard for us and not the other way around. And so, Passiv allows investors to easily manage their portfolios by automatically calculating trades and bringing their portfolio back on track with just one click. Today, Brendan shares experience building the software and working with DIY investors on the platform.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

● The benefits of managing your own portfolio as a self-directed investor

● The importance of being “financially woke” before using Passiv to manage your portfolio

● What other premium features Passiv provides under their yearly flat-fee subscription

● Why you should focus your allocations on index funds as opposed to speculative bets.

● How you can get started as a DIY investor with the help of Passiv and their team

● And much more!

About Brendan Lee Young:

Brendan Lee Young is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, a small twin-island in the Caribbean. He migrated to Canada to become an entrepreneur, which stemmed from his passion for financial independence. Brendan worked in the tech industry for a few years to learn how large tech corporations run. And eventually, he co-created Passiv, a portfolio management tool for online brokers, with Brendan Wood.

The idea of Passiv came about soon after Young and Wood met. They discovered they were both disillusioned with the status quo of investing: paying high fees for active management of investment products, with nothing to show for it. Then again, even when they turned to passive investing, the Brendans found there were still tedious aspects to managing their investments.

And so, Young and Wood decided to build a tool to free them from monotonous tasks, a tool that automatically calculates the trades needed to keep a portfolio close to its target allocation. After that, they soon realized that other investors would benefit from this tool, so Passiv was born. Since then, their team has grown, and hundreds of Canadians manage their money with Passiv, saving on management fees and spending less time with Excel.

46. Short Term Rental Insurance with Elaine Eugenio

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni and Elaine Eugenio on the 46th episode of the Average Joe Finances Podcast as they discuss short-term rental insurance for property owners and managers. Elaine Eugenio is the founder of Insurance For Hosts, where they make insuring short-term rentals easy. The agency is open to clients all across the United States, whether Airbnb, Homeaway or an independent website. Today, Elaine shares her journey, from turning down an insurance job offer, taking different career paths, and eventually starting an insurance agency herself.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why a regular landlord rental policy is not sufficient for short-term rental properties.

• The four basic coverages of a short-term rental policy and how it differs from a landlord policy.

• How not every guest will be mindful of the property and why insurance rates for short-term rentals are higher.

• What goes into becoming a short-term rental host and setting realistic expectations for your property.

• The spectrum of short-term rental arbitrage and why you should not rent out a property you do not own.

• And much more!

About Elaine Eugenio:

Elaine Eugenio is the founder of Insurance For Hosts. What sparked the agency’s creation was a situation Elaine found herself in back in 2011. Like many, she was familiar with short-term rental sites, such as Airbnb and VRBO, and how they could further help others with a love of travel stretch their travel dollars. But unlike most travelers, Elaine’s mind automatically went from thinking about trips to asking questions like “How does the insurance work if you are a host?”, “How are losses covered in case of emergencies?”, “What happens if a host is renting out their primary residence?” so on and so forth.

Elaine knew she could not possibly be the only insurance agent asking these same questions. But, she was surprised to find that there were not many in her immediate area or even across her state who knew the answers or were even willing to find out the answers to these questions associated with insuring a short-term rental property. And so, throughout the years, Elaine has committed to answering her initial questions all those years ago and the ones most property owners would never even think to ask. Hence, to properly insure and protect her clients, Elaine earned a Short Term Rental Property Inspector certificate so that she can offer more insight into possible claims, issues, and concerns.

37. Investing from Overseas with Daniel Mills

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -1000

Join Mike Cavaggioni and Daniel Mills as they talk about obtaining financial freedom from overseas. Daniel is a University professor in Japan, who has gone from being $15,000 in debt to building a Net worth of over one million dollars through index funds and extreme long distance real estate investing. Stay tuned!

In this episode, you’ll learn:
From being indebted to financial freedom
The importance of having multiple bank accounts
Pro’s and Con’s of investing in real estate while living abroad
Goals for Property/Market Selection
And much more!

About Daniel Mills

Growing up in southern California, Daniel saw his father grow a business that was profiting millions each year, only to see it later become liquidated. Daniel didn’t really think too much about money or growing his personal wealth until years later. After college, Daniel moved to Japan and became an English teacher making a salary of around $30,000 (USD) a year. He met his wife, settled down, and bought an apartment in an appreciating part of the city (contrary to many other parts of Japan). Daniel was saving around $1,000 a month, and realized he didn’t want to be making $30,000 a year forever. So, he started investing in index funds and stocks, which grew his net worth and allowed him to invest in other asset classes, like real estate.

Daniel even shares a tax loophole that allowed him to write off 100% of his 6-figure income while he was in Japan (solely from real estate depreciation)!

Fast forward to today, Daniel has rental properties in Idaho, Alabama, and Tennessee with partners from Japan and the United States. Daniel agrees with many other real estate professionals in the fact that you need a tried and true team in cities where you’re investing. Living in Japan, he doesn’t have much to worry about in the US, thanks to his fantastic property managers, handymen, partners, lenders, and real estate agents.

35. Hands Off Real Estate Syndications with Charles Carillo

Sun, 28 Feb 2021 01:00:00 -1000

🎙 In this episode I had an awesome interview with Charles Carillo. Charles is a real estate investor and syndicator. He is the founder of Harborside Partners and the host of the Global Investors Podcast.

Unlike other real estate investors that take a “hands off” approach to property management, Charles self-managed his own properties for years before hiring his first professional management company. During that time, he learned the intricacies of dealing with; tenants, contractors, superintendents, brokers, lenders, and attorneys. He purchased and renovated multifamily properties; some completely vacant, and turned them into profitable investments that he still owns today.
In 2016, he founded Harborside Partners, a real estate syndication company that offers other active investors and passive investors alike, the ability to partner with us and purchase larger, more profitable assets. Currently they are invested into over 250 units, worth over $25 million. Listen in on this awesome episode.

34. Taking Massive Action From 3-190 Units in 1 Year with Tim Lyons

Sun, 21 Feb 2021 01:00:00 -1000

In this episode I interviewed a fellow Long Islander, Tim Lyons. Tim is the managing partner of Cityside Capital LLC, a real estate syndication and investment company that focuses on residential multifamily real estate. Tim is also a Lieutenant in the New York City Fire Department. Until recently, he also worked part-time as an emergency room RN at a level 1 trauma center.

Tim’s initial goal with real estate was to create passive income and in turn, be able to spend more time with his wife and three girls. After partnering on a multifamily property, he saw first-hand the power of real estate investing as an opportunity to create passive income and build wealth for his family.

Tim started Cityside Capital with the goal of not only growing his own portfolio but also to help others realize the power that real estate investing can have on creating wealth. As he told me before the interview started it, if a full-time firefighter and nurse can do it, so can you! You don’t want to miss this episode

32. Building a Path to FIRE with Cathleen Hutchins

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 02:00:00 -1000

In this episode I interviewed Cathleen Hutchins. Cathleen and I discuss how she was able to afford a home in Hawaii as a federal employee through cooking at home, habit-formed budgeting, and buying second hand. She put herself through college on an (almost) full scholarship by seeking out opportunities and never letting one slip by. Cathleen is a perfect example of how living a frugal life can be enjoyable with less sacrifice than you think. She doesn’t deprive herself or her family of anything and is always searching for the most cost-effective way to enjoy life.

Cathleen runs an awesome blog on personal finance, frugal living, and good cooking. It’s called Cooking Up Fire (not Cooking Up with Fire). I thoroughly enjoy the content she puts out so when you are done listening to this episode, be sire to visit her site via the link below. You can also catch Cathleen in the Average Joe Finances Network on Facebook as well.

31. Rebalancing Your Portfolio with Passiv with Nick McCullum

Sun, 31 Jan 2021 01:00:00 -1000

In this episode I interviewed Nick McCullum from Passiv. Nick explains what Passiv is and how they are a great option for the busy professional who doesn’t have the time to constantly rebalance their portfolio manually. He explains how Passiv is able to make rebalancing your portfolio as easy as clicking a button.

Nick McCullum went to college to study biology when he quickly realized that this particular major did not interest him at all. He wanted to do something different but still graduate within that four-year period. He decided to major in math and that led him into the finance world and eventually to Passiv. Check out this episode and hear him explain how he got here and why he enjoys working with the team at Passiv.

30. Why Commercial Real Estate is a Great Wealth Builder with Paul Moore

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 02:00:00 -1000

In this episode I had the privilege of interviewing Paul Moore. I talk with Paul about speculation versus investment, forced appreciation, and a variety of other topics related to commercial real estate investing. He shares how risky speculating can really dip into your net worth and how proper investing can increase it significantly. Paul is very knowledgeable about investing in commercial real estate, specifically multi-family, self-storage and mobile home parks.

Paul Moore started his professional life at Ford Motor company. His time there was short as he co-founded a staffing firm, becoming a finalist for Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year, two years in a row. Paul and his partner sold their staffing firm to a large publicly traded company and began investing in real estate. He later founded multiple investment and development companies, appeared on HGTV and is contributor to FOX Business and Bigger Pockets. Paul is the co-host on two podcasts called The Art of Investing and How to Lose Money.

25. Should you use a Financial Coach or Financial Advisor with Brian Thorp | Wealthtender

Sun, 27 Dec 2020 01:00:00 -1000

In this episode we discuss when you should use a financial coach or a financial advisor with the founder of Wealthtender, Brian Thorp. We discussed in detail about when it’s appropriate to use a coach or an advisor. We also spoke about how it’s important to have that person to help hold you accountable in your own financial journey.

In 2019, Brian left his high paying six-figure financial services career in Texas to launch a startup. Crazy? Perhaps! He started working remotely from a small beach town in Mexico building a business to help millions of Americans achieve their financial goals. Everyone's finances have been impacted by the pandemic and the need for useful advice and guidance has become more important than ever. Brian believes there's never been a better time for our audience to find help with money matters from someone they can trust who truly understands their individual needs. He’s a huge fan of technology, but when it comes to financial advice and guidance, he explains why he believes artificial intelligence is no substitute for actual human intelligence.

24. Real Estate Investing in the Military with Anthanē Richie

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 01:00:00 -1000

In this episode with Anthanē Richie from Rich State of Mind, we discuss how he got started in his own journey into financial independence using real estate as his vehicle. He is a newer investor and gives a great perspective on his first investment properties. He is currently serving in the U.S. Navy and was recently selected for Chief Petty Officer. In the Navy, that is a significant milestone that he has achieved. It goes to show his determination in everything that he does. We talk a little bit about his career in the Navy and what drove his mindset to pursue financial independence. He talks about his partner Amyra and how she is integral to his operation. Side note, I have known Amyra for almost 18 years as we served on the same ship together just about 18 years ago. What a small world! Check out this episode and enjoy. I was also interviewed by Anthanē on his podcast (when my mic wasn’t working on Zoom) and you can hear that by checking out his podcast links below.

23. Meet the firefighter with 50 units in 12 months with Kyle Robertson

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 18:30:17 -1000

In this episode with Kyle Robertson, we discuss how he got started in real estate. He explains how he managed to get some great deals including when he bought a storage facility. During his journey he explains how he was able to double his gains with that commercial property to jump start the growth of his portfolio. He discusses pressing the reset button with his family, selling everything, and starting over. That sounds scary doesn’t it? Well Kyle and his wife made it work. After hitting that reset button, they went on to purchase a few small apartment buildings totaling 50 doors. You have to listen to this episode and hear this awesome story.

Kyle Robertson is 36 years old, married and has three awesome kids residing in Oregon. He spent some of his school age in the Midwest in Missouri. That time in particular is kind of what drew him to that section of the United States when he got the bug to start investing.

22. Using Local Lenders and the Unsexy Side of Real Estate Investing with Tim Carmon

Sun, 06 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -1000

In this episode we interview Tim Carmon. Tim and I served together in the Navy at the same command a few years ago. Tim has always been a go getter and it certainly showed in his Navy career. Tim and I were catching up on LinkedIn and started talking real estate and I asked him to come on and share his story with what he’s been doing. He explained how he was able to build a great relationship with his lender at a local bank to work out different finance options. Tim and his brother are putting in some great efforts to beautify and restore the local community that they invest in. It’s really neat to see a real estate investor putting in that extra effort to help and show how much they care.

Tim retired from the Navy after serving for 28 years. His goal was to have a few houses as rental properties before retiring. He wanted to build up his monthly income to accompany his retirement check. Both him and his brother do a lot of their own work to fix up the properties they buy.

In this episode we interview Erik Engebretson. Erik explains how he built his partnership and his real estate portfolio of 50/50 short-term and traditional rental properties.

18. Richer Soul with Rocky Lalvani

Sun, 08 Nov 2020 00:00:00 -1000

This interview with Rocky Lalvani was a great learning experience for me. Rocky is the real deal! Throughout the interview he shares his insights and personal experiences that led to his success. I really enjoyed this interview and felt that I learned quite a bit from Rocky. I think there is something in this episode for everyone. Definitely listen to the whole episode and enjoy.

About Rocky Lalvani: He started with nothing when his parents immigrated to the United States. He was two years old, and his parents were in their 40's. It was his parents' second time starting over in life as they moved to the United States to experience the American dream. In spite of a lot of struggles and his mom passing away when he was 7, he has been able to achieve financial success. Rocky has learned how to create harmony with health, wealth, time, relationships, and spirituality in his own personal development journey. The core is being clear in your purpose and having a growth mindset to achieve success. These principles have allowed Rocky to become a multi-millionaire.

17. My Interview on the My Future Business Podcast

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 00:00:00 -1000

Show Notes from My Future Business Podcast:

On today’s My Future Business Show I have the pleasure of spending time with property investor and founder of Average Joe Finances Mr. Michael Cavaggioni talking about investing and wealth creation.
Mike grew up on Long Island, NY and enlisted in the Navy at the age of 17 as an E1 (the lowest rank in the military). He worked his way up the enlisted ranks to E6 and an eventual commission as an officer. With 18 years of service and approaching retirement, Mike began focusing on building financial independence and wealth.

Through Average Joe Finance, Mike is on a mission to educate people about wealth creation. To do this, Mike also hosts the Average Joe Finances [AJF] podcast, runs the AJF YouTube channel, and is a contributing writer and editor for the AJF blog.

During today’s call, Mike shares insights into smart investing strategies for millennials, how to “find” money for savings and investments, the keys to building wealth, the value of side hustles, and how to create multiple income streams, passive income and steps you can take in preparing for your retirement.

Mike’s mission with Average Joe Finances is to help people realize their growth potential no matter their income level, and wants to help you become financially independent and wealthy.

10. Pt 3 Smart Money Bro with Eric Bowie

Sat, 12 Sep 2020 07:05:45 -1000

In this episode, we interview Eric Bowie from Smart Money Bro. He shares his story on how he started his journey to financial freedom and how he went from a negative net worth to having a net worth of $600k. This is the final episode in a 3-part series where we discussed the 7 topics below. In this episode we talk about topics 4-7. You don’t want to miss when he talks about his voice over work and pooling family money together. Definitely two topics I found to be very interesting and fun. We talked a little before the show about his passion for the NBA and how he said he could guard Steph Curry… I brought it up during this part of the episode as a joke, but Steph Curry, Eric is calling you out. He said he can guard you. Don’t let him punk you.

Remaining topics of discussion:

4. Leveraging LinkedIn as a social media platform to build his business.

5. How to do business with the Federal Government with managing contracts for the government.

6. How he got into the voice over space. Currently, he makes about $400 to $600 per month doing freelance voice over work on the side.

7. Pooling Your Family Money. He discusses how he spent the last 5 years meeting with his family once a month and learning the benefits of pooling their family money.

4. Military House Hacking with Tim Kelly

Sun, 26 Jul 2020 00:40:30 -1000

In this episode, we interview Tim Kelly from Active Duty Passive Income. Tim is an active duty Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy and has been serving his country for 14 years. Now stationed on shore duty in Pensacola, Florida, he is fully pursuing his dream of owning and operating multi-family real estate and helping others realize their financial freedom goals!

Tim tells his story on how he started investing in real estate in 2011 when he purchased his first single family residence with the intention of forcing appreciation and flipping for a profit. That turned into his first “house-hack,” and he quickly learned the benefits of long-term buy and hold real estate were much more aligned with his goals.

Tim also co-authored the #1 Best Selling book with ADPI titled: Military House Hacking!

Tim is now a Senior Managing Partner of both Kelly Housing Group and ADPI Capital where he and his partners invest in and syndicate multi-family property in the affordable and workforce housing spaces with a focus on apartment communities, mobile home communities, and storage facilities.
