Candace is a fellow active female real estate investor and asset management powerhouse at Astra Equity. She has spent her real estate career learning how to build the right teams and partnerships to make strong returns for everyone involved in the deal. She also works side by side with other top women in the RE industry as the Co-Founder of the Multifamily Women’s Mastermind.
So what's her advice when it comes to real estate investing?
"It's very important to network with other people doing the same thing you want to do. It expanded my mindset of the different ways you can structure a deal and the different ways you can make money in multifamily. It's not all black and white. There's not one way that's the right way."
Candace talks from an active investor's standpoint about:
✔ How she first started investing actively in real estate (and how networking helped drive her on where to start)
✔ Why she decided to lean into asset management to align with her skills and passion points and how she works with the rest of her team to drive success
✔ What she learned from past partnerships and how she has chosen the right partners to help create great returns for everyone involved

Think you can't leverage your current career and skillset to pivot into a new one?
Brian shows us you can be whatever you want to be. He spent 10 years pursuing his childhood dream of becoming an actor, to then realize he needed to pivot. He leveraged what he learned as an actor to become a successful sales professional overseeing multimillion dollar fitness studios. He now runs Maebar Capital and coaches others on how to prioritize themselves in their life.
"So many people just go, they just do it. And I'm not one of those people by nature. I recognized that in order for me to take a next step I was going to need help. By shifting part of my peer group and hanging around investors who are consistently engaged in investing, that ultimately has been the major catalyst for change."
Brian has a lot to teach us about:
-
How he went from being $95K in debt to overseeing over 30 multimillion dollar upscale fitness locations as a successful Sales professional
-
What made him realize that relying on income as an employee was "fragile" and what he did about it
-
Why he chose to focus on multifamily real estate for investing and build Maebar Capital in his pursuit of financial independence

About Elisa Zhang:
I am the owner and principal of over 3,000 apartment units totaling $450M across the US. I’m an educator, an artist and a mother of two beautiful children.
I am on a mission to help motivated individuals make money while they sleep and retire faster than they ever dreamed.
What makes me so confident that I can help others to achieve their financial independence goals? Because it’s the exact process I used to replace my annual full-time corporate IT income of over $200K. By leveraging the power of real estate investing to form passive income streams that now fund my dream life, I was able to quit my job in 2019 and achieve true time and financial freedom.
So, why do I share all of this info so openly?
Unlocking the formula to FI is my way of showing gratitude and adding unique value to the world.
This Webinar will help you make a massive shift in your investing approach by simply focusing on your mindset and changing your strategy.
The best part? You don't need to be a veteran to implement these strategies around how to interact with buyers/sellers and how to negotiate deals. Anyone can become an elite investor with the advice of Beau Beery, Founder of Multifamily Advisors and author of Multifamily Investors Who Dominate.

On this episode, Jimmy Edwards shares his awe-inspiring journey in the real estate investing space. Jimmy is the owner of the High Five Group, which has primarily focused on single-family homes since 2013, and is aggressively looking to acquire properties in the multifamily space.
As an expert resource for real estate investors and home sellers, he has over 12 years of experience in real estate negotiations, and he works every deal as if it were his own. He enjoys solving problems, and thinking "outside of the box".
Don’t miss out on this episode if you want to learn how real estate investing can help you create a life of abundance, financial and time freedom. Some of the key points from the podcast are as follows:
✔ When Jimmy graduated from Texas Tech, he knew he wanted to pursue career in real estate. He dreamt of being the expert resource for real estate knowledge. That dream took him to Houston, TX where he found an awesome job selling high-end condos. In 2006, he helped facilitate over 10 million dollars in transactions in Houston’s Premier Luxury High Rise Living Community.
✔ When the market shifted in 2008, he moved to Dallas, TX. It was then he saw the opportunity to utilize his financial skills to help distressed homeowners. He became licensed as a mortgage loan officer for the State of Texas. In 2011, he closed over 30 million dollars in government mortgage loans for military Veterans. It was then, that he began to shift his focus back to real estate.
✔ With prices near all time lows, he began accumulating investment property around the DFW metroplex. While searching for investment properties, I discovered a highly competitive market, and the need for an investment specialist. He realized that most investors did not have the time to hunt for distressed assets, and most realtors were not investor savvy.
✔ In 2012, he put his background and experience to work and The High Five Group was born!
Listen to the podcast to know what you can learn from Jimmy’s success story and how you can begin yours.

John Casmon explains the details of house hacking process and how he found a unique neighborhood in Chicago to invest. Elisa and John talk numbers and math for the house hacking model with a 4-plex.
The process was duplicated after John and his wife created incredible value in their first investment property and decided to leverage their equity. But we pause to shed light on some lifestyle preferences that may not be what others expect from real estate investors. These financial practices set the Casmons up for success as they lived their designed lifestyle.
Elisa asks John about what accelerated his real estate investing. In John's design, he knew that one key factor was gaining experience being the owner of a commercial building, working with a property management company.
Since 2017, John has been working on building his networking relationships to expand his ability to positively affect others who are interested in leveraging real estate investments to create the life they dream about and leave a legacy for their family.
John's podcast, Target Market Insights, has grown organically from his investing career. Listen and learn at www.casmoncapital.com/podcast John also takes us through some basics of marketing and why its so important to real estate investors looking to expand their reach and level-up.
John's book recommendations include:
-"Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook" by Gary Vaynerchuck
-"The Wizard of Ads" by Roy Williams

Through good times in advertising, life was great for John. Then, in 2008, an experience in corporate America opened John's mind to a huge shift in thinking about his future. He shares his words of wisdom for anyone looking to get started in real estate investing and learning the ropes.

Fresh out of college engineer, Lane, saw his co-worker passed away suddenly one day. To his surprise, people at work didn't really talk about it.

He ate a lot of instant ramen, showered at work to save water and invested all his savings. Fast forward in less than 10 years, he is now financially free and living much comfortably. He is a well-known influencer in the financial independence world and makes it through apartment syndication.
