Trixy Castro is the true definition of the American Dream, showing that hard work and perseverance pay off. The daughter of Cuban immigrants, her parents strove to give her a life that was better than theirs.

Lightning Round1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?
Prior to working in financial services, I worked in college in professional athletics. I had a cool background where I worked in college athletics, in facilities, and operations.

- What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their nomadic journey?
I think with social media especially, comparison is the thief of joy. Social media makes it seems like everyone is an overnight success, that everybody is making a million dollars, and if you’re not, your complete failure. I think that comparison is a thief of joy. Block that kind of stuff out. Work with a trusted professional that’s going to help tailor goals to your family and what’s important to you. Roll with that because comparing your journey to other people is never a good thing.

Damian: I’m a black builtin karate and I can draw, well, that’s two.
Natasha: I am a three-time weightlifting champion.
- Who inspires you the most and why?
Damian: That’s a little bit hard because I feel like I draw inspiration from a lot of different people for a lot of different reasons. I think that goes to say that you always have to keep your eyes open and try to always better yourself. But you know, like for me, I think that the people that have served that role most effectively have been both of my parents for different reasons. My dad has always shown me how to be a standup and respectable man. My mom showed me how to be a nurturer and a caretaker.
Natasha: Damian inspires me the most right now. He’s the one that I spend the most time with and I get to really see how he does things. I think seeing his work ethic and the way that he approaches things is really an inspiration.

Damian: Don’t let the lack of knowledge make you take inaction. Don’t let that prevent you from taking action. You have to continue moving forward. You have to continue bettering yourself, and you have to do it incrementally. If you don’t know, go seek it out, go find it.
Natasha: There’s a philosophy I came up with a couple years ago. There’s a book by Michael Pollan about defensive food, and he uses seven words to define how people should eat. I took his idea of using seven words to define how I think about money. My seven words are: spend money, not too much, and invest wisely. I think the purpose of money is to be spent. It’s to make your life better, but you also have to do it in a balanced way, so not too much of it. Make sure you’re saving and then invest wisely. Make investment decisions that help benefit your life and benefit your family.

Look to see how can you use the tax code to your advantage. For a mom who isn’t even thinking about location independence or anything like that, should also look at the implications of hiring her child as an employee for her business. If you are self-employed, it could be beneficial to set yourself up as an S-corp tax status.

- What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?
Find the balance between appreciating what you have so that you’re not always desiring more, but also balance not being so hard on yourself. It’s tough being a mom and teenagers are a different level of toughness. I remember when I was working a demanding full-time job and trying to raise kids and just all these things. It’s tough. So don’t be so hard on yourself and don’t judge every little thing you do.

If you need a place to start with budgeting, and you need a beautiful pretty spreadsheet to inspire you, go to my Etsy shop and grab my Deluxe planner and fill out your numbers. This is going to give you what you need to do step 1 to feel financially confident. Give yourself some time because it will take over an hour. However, if you do it, it will give you a total different perspective on your spending, of what is happening with your money. Even if you don’t like budgeting, just do it at least once.

- What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their financial independence journey?
I think one of the biggest tips that I can give people is to be surrounded by people that are similarly minded and on a very similar path to whatever the financial goal you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re trained to pay off your debt, follow people that are trying to also pay off debt so that you don’t get overwhelmed and feel like you’re so far behind.
So I would say, stay in your lane with whatever area you are focusing on in your financial life. And that’s where you can start to find some saturation and start to change your mindset and just feel better about your financial journey without that comparison syndrome.

Maria’s BioIn search of balance and financial freedom, Maria left a life of eating out, catwalks, and a killer job in Silicon Valley for a life of Dickies and tool belts; DIY-rehabbing, and renting apartments in Helsinki, Finland. And she loves it.
Maria founded a real estate investing company in Finland in 2018 in which she now works full-time as the CEO focusing on buy-and-hold rental apartments using the BRRRR strategy. She believes tenants have the right to live in a wonderful home they love which is why she designs the apartments individually adding some pizazz.
When she’s not busy keeping her two toddlers from eating paint or piercing each other with power tools, she loves running and laughing and inspiring others to act even though they’re scared.
Maria has written the following articles:
- The Crazy Journey to My First 8 Rentals: Numbers, Pics & Lessons (All the Nitty Gritty!)
- If I Can Buy 7 Rentals While Jobless, Pregnant, & Raising an 8-Month-Old, You Can Too!
- 5 Serious Questions to Ask Yourself Before Partnering With Family Members
Maria is also featured in the brand new book:The Only Woman in the Room: Knowledge and Inspiration from 20 Women Real Estate Investors by Ashley Wilson
Maria’s Real Estate and Life Tips1. If you don’t know how to do something, find somebody, who does and can show you the results. Then model them. 2. Rock stars know rock stars, so when building a team find one rockstar first and they will lead you to the rest. 3. Don’t focus on what you don’t have, focus on what you do have. In real estate, there are three things you need, knowledge, time/hustle, and money. Focus on your strengths, what you can offer, and find others who have what you don’t have. I.e If you have time and knowledge, find someone with money. 4. Bring value to people first. What can I give to others v.s what can I get from others? 5. Better to be in the with an okay deal than waiting on the sides for the perfect deal. 6. Don’t compare you chapter one to someone else’s chapter 20. You don’t know how far they have worked to get to this point. All of us have different things in our past that’s happened. We can’t control that but we can control our actions and our thoughts. 7. Be normal. Find someone else’s pain point and solve it for them to help you get a deal. 8. I was supposed to leave my dream job for my dream life. 9. Purpose fuels persistence so find your purpose. 10. Before buying a property, identify your goal, that will help you figure out your best strategy, that will lead you to your buying criteria. Then you will know if you have a good deal or not. 11. To expedite her wealth-building journey Maria focused on her velocity of money by using the BRRRR method. Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat. 12. Find your strengths and focus on that. You will become purposeful doing the things that you’re meant to do because that will come the easiest to you. That will give you the most energy. 13. Live your life as if you already died.
Lightning Round1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?
I can put both my feet behind my head at the same time.
- Who inspires you the most and why?
My best friend Lena because she pushes me to be myself because I do things a bit differently when it comes to, the rental site. I put extra love and attention into each unit and use different colors unlike anybody else. She’s been inspiring and very concrete when it comes to interior decoration, but also when it comes to life. For her, it’s all about creating a life and a home that you love.
