Unlock Your Life: Recent Episodes
Jennings Smith
You were not meant to be a slave to the grind. You were not meant to trade your life force for money. You CAN escape gravity. You can unlock your life.
This show isn't for everybody. This is for the ones that are destined for more. For abundance. For achievement. For greatness.
All you need is to be Unlocked.
Finding a good real estate deal isn't about looking for perfect properties; it's about looking for massive problems that other people are too tired, scared, or inexperienced to solve.
In this episode, I break down exactly how my partners and I acquired a 108-unit apartment complex in Houma, Louisiana for $3.5 million from a distressed seller. The property was decent, but it had a fatal flaw: skyrocketing non-recourse insurance premiums post-Hurricane Ida that were completely wiping out the cash flow.
I take you behind the scenes of the value-add strategy—including how we literally moved the flood plain line to cut our insurance premiums by more than half, replaced electrical panels to secure better debt, and executed a full BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) on a commercial scale.
If you want to make real money in commercial real estate, stop looking for turnkey assets and start looking for problems to solve.

In this episode, we break down a masterclass in commercial real estate investing. Jennings walks through a real case study where a colleague transformed a vacant 80,000 sq ft industrial warehouse from a distressed asset worth $1.2 million into a high-performing property valued at $3-4 million—all by securing a tenant before closing the deal.
The core strategy? Identify vacant commercial properties bleeding money, use Google Maps to find companies with matching space needs in the area, then cold-call their accounting departments to reach decision-makers who know their lease timelines and facility constraints. By solving both the seller's problem (vacant building) and the tenant's problem (need for space), you create a repeatable playbook that works across any commercial asset class.
You'll learn how to mitigate risk through binding leases, leverage third-party capital to do deals without all your own cash upfront, and structure deals that banks actually want to finance. This is value-add investing at its finest.
As always, thanks for listening!

Let's be real- it's a tough real estate landscape right now.
We've seen people leaving real estate, struggling to keep money in the bank, pay investors/lenders, etc. But we've seen good times, bad times, bubbles, and corrections, and real estate is all about the long game!
3 things from this episode:
-
If you’re still in the real estate game, or have expanded during difficult seasons, hats off to you!
-
If you’re newer and you're hanging in there now, you may not even know what the great times are like. So keep going!
-
If you’ve given up, let it be for a season. There’s always time to come back. Real estate is a long-term industry, and you still have dreams to fulfill.
Remember, it’s better to buy in the trough than to buy at the top, but fear keeps people out of the game and in the near future, real estate will get very crowded again. As the current administration faces pressure to lower interest rates, the best way to hedge against inflation is to own and sell real estate!
If you’re hanging on or thinking about getting back in, you need to be in the rooms where deals are being discussed, negotiated, shared, and partnered on. We’d love to see you in the Deal Room. Visit MFMIM.com or find My First Million in Multifamily on Facebook.

Do you find yourself struggling to find motivation?
Do you see others who appear to be insanely disciplined and ask yourself, "What is their secret to success?"
On today's episode, we look at the mindset with which we approach things like discipline, laziness, and motivation.
Maybe you're not actually lazy or lacking motivation and discipline! Maybe you've allowed yourself to focus on the stress/obstacle of the cost instead of letting yourself be driven and inspired by the outcome!
This mindset shift has helped others step off the struggle bus and start making meaningful moves in their lives and businesses.

We truly live in a digital age. Many might say that the days of the "handshake deal" have long since passed. But if you want people to trust you, respect you, and work with you-- your reputation is just as important as ever, and a man (or woman) is only as good as his or her word.
In today's episode, learn the importance of dealing with "the thing" (whatever that may be) on the same day you learn about it. Jennings also breaks down the importance of conducting your business and handling your personal matters in such a way that guards your reputation and shows people that you are a person of character, integrity, and that you're worthy of their trust. Your network and your networth absolutely depend on this.
But this isn't just necessary for business. It's essential for life. So make the call that you need to make. Handle the mess that you've been putting off. Tell the truth.

Why would you get into an expensive, "unexciting" deal that barely offers you any cash flow?
- Is it paying down the principal?
- Are rents going up?

- Are you building equity?
- Is it a desirable location?
Jennings breaks down why a seemingly "unexciting" deal with minimal cash flow actually makes sense and positions you for longterm success.
In this episode you'll learn the slow, grueling process of building and ultimately maintaining the momentum that can change your life and your future.

Have you ever found yourself facing the anxiety of a new challenge or opportunity?
Maybe you've decided you want something bigger? You're ready to move to bigger opportunities with bigger risk and (hopefully) reward. But you're realizing how crippling that fear can be. The worst case scenarios keep playing in your head and you don't know if it's the right decision.
In this episode, Jennings discusses calculated risks and the thought processes you need to go through to make an educated decision. We're comfortable with risk, but we always want to be wise.
Also, there's incredible power in "borrowed belief." When you're facing new challenges, don't be afraid to go at it with partners who compliment you and supplement your areas of limitation.
Most importantly, identify your first step and just do that!

Jennings is joined by Joey Muré, co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, an online community aimed at reeducating business owners and families about how money works and teaching people to build passive income and increase cash flow.
Several years back, Joey found himself making good money but generally frustrated with being a slave to the coporate grind. He was working for his money but his money wasn't working for him. On top of that, he was seriously second guessing the typical retirement model of pouring your cash into an inaccessible account with no guarantee of the taxable conditions when it came time to cash-out.
Rethink retirement and deferred compensation, grow your wealth, and put your money to work.

What’s the difference between an average person and a billionaire?
The average person works extremely hard. They equate hard work with success. And they give up too easily when confronted with obstacles.
What do billionaires do?
They know how to use their minds better. They look at obstacles to pivot to their goals. And they are not necessarily working harder but working smarter.
They also know how to access the “librarian” of their minds. This is where all good ideas come from.
In today's episode, Marx Acosta-Rubio, a successful business owner and coach, joins us. You’ll discover mindset hacks to achieve your goals and to live a purposeful life. All successful people have a formula for success, and it all starts with how they use their mind.

The average person never experiences true financial freedom. They are trapped in a routine, living paycheck to paycheck, and having their life force taken out of them.

Before you dive headfirst into a deal, remember this: What’s on paper might only be half the truth. The seller always knows more than the buyer!
This is where due diligence comes in. True detective work starts after you get the deal under contract.
If you overlook one issue, this can take something that looks like a great ROI on paper, to a cash eating monster.
Savvy investors have a framework they follow to make sure they are not getting sucker punched after the deal closes.
In this episode, I walk through what to look for when you do your due diligence. Never get stuck buying a headache property that will eat up your time, money, and energy again.

There are two ways you can grow wealth:
You can take the “snail” lane by spending your whole life putting bits and pieces away or you can speed it up in the fast lane with one profitable deal.
This one deal can set you and your family up for the rest of their lives.
Now if this was so easy, why aren’t more people doing this?
Most people make excuses like not having enough capital, or not knowing how to execute. This stops them in their tracks and from accumulating any significant amount of wealth.
All of this can be solved by joining the right networks like the deal room.
In this episode, I break down a juicy deal that one of our deal room members executed. This one deal will pay him and his family repeatedly so that they never have to worry about money again.
Tune In as I break down this juicy deal.

Multifamily investing is a gateway drug to commercial properties.
It’s a different investing vehicle altogether. Different tenants and different rewards.

Real estate investing is a great generational wealth creator.
Not only do you have amazing tax benefits, but the appreciation over the years and access to easy cash flow gives you the chance to quit your day job and even retire long before your peers.
The question is, why don’t more people take advantage of real estate to build a mountain of wealth?
It’s simple - they don’t have the time nor the teams to source the right property, take care of the renovations and manage the property.
But you don’t need extra time or a team when you have a proven, turnkey strategy.
And in today’s episode, Zach Lemaster from Rent to Retirement joins us to reveal turnkey investment strategies that make owning rental properties as easy as they are profitable (especially if you have limited time on your hands).

Most newbies don't have $1.2 million to invest in real estate.
And nobody knew this better than today’s guest, Brent Bowers. But instead of throwing in the towel, and giving up, he discovered the lucrative opportunity of investing in “Tax Delinquent Land.”
And by doing this, he was able to purchase a piece of land for $285, and then sell it for…
$5,000 — a 17x ROI.
Sounds insane, right?
Well, it’s not a fluke either. Later on, he purchased a piece of land for $1,500, and sold that for $7,500 — a 5x ROI.
And while these aren’t huge gains, Brent’s initial investments allowed him to create a business that…
Generates upwards of $50K — per month — in passive income.
So, if this concept interests you, then you’re going to love what I have in store for you today.

Going “HAM” is seen as a strategy for your investment success.
You heard the strategy before - burn your boat, quit your job, and focus on your goals with 100% commitment.
What usually happens?
You hit an obstacle and realize that your investment goals will take much longer than usual.
You end up quitting faster than you started as the cash flow is not there and you have no way to feed your family. And next, you are probably back at the office begging for your job.
This is what happens to most novice investors – they don’t realize that you need to build the basics to become successful. These “building blocks” for success take time and need to be built properly.
And in today’s episode, I discuss the “winners” formula on how to build your portfolio the right way, instead of you having to give up on your goals and go back to a life of mediocrity. Real estate investing should not be built on pressure, it should be built properly with the right building blocks.
Listen now!
Show Highlights Include:
- The 4-hour Workweek advice that leads to a disaster in your investing career (0.50)
- Why you need these 3 “success ingredients” to keep you committed to your goals (and not quit too early) (5:56)

- Use this “cash influx” strategy to build a steady stream of income in little as 2 years (so that you can quit corporate) (13:06)
- The “All In” formula that works for steady profits (without having to risk it all) (13:56)
- Why you need to build these “Keystone Habits” first so that you can have a well-balanced lifestyle filled with abundance (20:25)
- How to start investing on your spare time and with very little money today (23:20)

Struggling entrepreneurs “force” their services down their prospects' throats.
This never works out, and only creates resentment in your leads. And if you do this, they feel the sudden need to “object” to every talking point you have. Once this happens, it’s near impossible to close the sale (without resorting to manipulative sales tactics.)
End result?
The chances of unhappy clients skyrockets. When this happens, this means refunds, chargebacks, and terrible reviews on Google.
So, how do we avoid “objection handling” in our sales calls?
In today’s episode, Melissa Hughes, Founder of Live Rich, Spread Wealth, reveals the “Love Method” of sales. By using this method, you’ll not only close more sales, but build more positive, long-term relationships with your clients.

If you’re a single family investor, then this episode might change your life forever.
Here’s why:
I turned $240K into $415K in 18 months with a multifamily deal. I also increased the value of a multifamily property by $857K. Best part? My portfolio is currently worth ~$60 million — all based in commercial real estate.
Now, I don’t say this to brag. I’m merely painting what’s possible in your mind.
And if you’re cool with only generating a couple million bucks when you retire, be my guest, but…

“I can’t afford a $100K downpayment.”
This is a lie most single family investors like to tell themselves. Instead of earning $240K per year in passive income, they’ve convinced themselves it’s not possible.
The most insidious part?
They’ll be chained to single family homes for the rest of their life, as that’s what they know best — missing out on deals that actually unlock their life.
Now, having $100K in hard money seems impossible. But there is a way.
And in today’s episode, John Crutchfield, CEO of Grab The Map, reveals how to purchase multifamily property (with no money down.)

Most real estate investors spend way too much time on “Short-Term Equity” deals.
These are the types of deals where:
- You find the property
- You fully lease it out
- You do all the hard work…
And when it’s all said and done, you only own 3% of the total equity in the deal.
Will this setup ever change your life?
Probably not. But there’s a better way:
It’s called the “LTE” model. With this better way, I’ve amassed a $63 million real estate portfolio.
Best part?
I own 48% of the equity in this portfolio!
So, with that all said…
In today’s episode, you’ll discover how to take advantage of this new equity model for yourself. You’ll also find out why some apartment deals are actually jobs disguised as financial freedom.
Listen now!

“Operational Real Estate” is an asset class with the easiest-to-negotiate owners in the world. 15-20% of the market is made up of multinational syndications. The remaining 80-85% consists of Mom & Pop operators — people who overlook how sought after their property is — meaning you get high rental yield properties at a bargain price.
Speaking of sought after, “Operational Real Estate” has never-ending demand. In fact, its demand increases during recessions.

Time moves fast.
In 2023, we’re closer to 2050 than 1990.
With or without you, time marches on. And if you don’t change now, you’re going to be stuck in the same position 5 years from now. 80 hour weeks. Constant need to grind and hustle your way through life. No playtime with your kids. Always thinking about the business, and never enjoying the fruits of your labor.
But there is a simple solution. All it takes is a couple hours after dinner, a few phone calls, and 2 or 3 clicks on a real estate investing website. And if you dedicate this time to invest in your future, you’ll reap unimaginable rewards.
You’ll be able to drop off and pick up your kids, ignore pesky clients and pointless meetings, cancel the constant worry and anxiety of signing a new deal, and magnetically attract money to you.
This is all possible.
And in today’s episode, I’m going to reveal why earning an extra $40,000 a year is “child’s play” when you start focusing on your life 5 years from now. You’ll also discover one of the most dangerous mindsets, the “IWTGRF” mindset, which throttles your growth by a factor of 10:1.

If you want to have $20M when you retire, you won’t EVER get there by making $150K a year.
Sounds like common sense, but most contractors make this mistake. They don't think 5, 10, or even 20 years from now. They only think about the short-term, and how to increase sales by 10 or 15%. But even 15% extra on $100,000 is only $115,000.
If you want to hit $20M in the next 20 years, you need to be making at LEAST $1M a year.
That’s why, in this episode, I reveal the sneaky “1:100” secret you can generate insane levels of wealth with.
Listen now!
Show Highlights Include:
- Why earning $100K is a great way to lose out on $1 million (5:21)

Most newbie/single family real estate investors I speak to say the same thing:
“How do I get my first deal within six months? I don’t want it to take forever. I’m looking to make the leap from single family to multifamily. And how do I do that? What do I need to know? And what’s the quickest, most efficient way to get into multifamily real estate?”
Here’s my answer:
There are 2 simple tracks you can run on. The first method is simple: Finding a deal (and most people easily and quickly get on board with that.) But the second method is more efficient, and will get you to owning your first apartment much faster than the first.
In today’s episode, I reveal how to purchase your first apartment in 6 months using both the first and second method.
Listen now!
Show Highlights Include:
- The 4 pieces of the puzzle you need to unlock to easily purchase your first apartment in 6 months (1:27)
- No, you don’t need to buy an expensive course on multifamily investing to get started. You can use these free tools instead (4:53)
- Why “hired gun investors” could accidentally provide capital to one of your first deals (and if it’s not a good deal, you could owe them hundreds of thousands of dollars) (19:09)
- How to get uber rich investors itching to throw millions of their hard earned cash at your multifamily deal (21:18)
- A free multifamily course (usually valued at $2,000) that provides a network of loan sponsors, capital raisers, and people who are actively finding deals (30:23)

Most real estate investors are dead broke. They scrape by, reinvesting every single profit into their next downpayment. In fact, they’re so broke, they sometimes have to finance their water heater!
By age 80, they have 1,000 rental homes (all paid for), drive the same old crappy pickup truck, and live a miserable life. After 50 grueling years living on struggle street, they can finally relax.
I don’t want to live like this — and I assume you don’t either.
I’d rather be able to buy the lambo, take that first class trip to Disneyland with the kids, and splurge on the 24 carat necklace my wife craves today — instead of waiting till I’m 80.
In today’s episode, I reveal the mindset you need to go from struggling, broke real estate investor to real estate kingpin, able to afford whatever you want (and not have to wait until retirement to enjoy yourself.)
Listen now!
Show Highlights Include:
- The insidious “CFN” mentality that sabotages your real estate potential (and keeps you locked in a state of inaction) (3:45)
- Why leaving your lights on at night builds the right mindset you need to become a real estate mogul (4:07)
- How investing in multifamily gives you “emotional permission” to buy luxurious sport cars car, yachts, and a 24 karat necklace for your wife (7:27)
- Why staring at yourself in the mirror unlocks the ability to scale up (and change the trajectory of your life) (9:08)
- The “poor core” real estate religion that sacrifices all of your time and energy for a miserable retirement at 80 (10:46)
- How to build up your level of self-worth by unsubscribing from Dave Ramsey’s YouTube channel (15:43)
- How your fears of being judged prevent you from buying that Ferrari (and enjoying the life you deserve) (22:11)

Life gets pretty fun at $9,000 a month passive income.
You have a lot of breathing room now. You have more free time. You can stop worrying about the bills. You can take that trip to Disneyland with your kids. And you can go to Europe with your wife.
Now, take it from me, life gets REALLY fun at $50,000 a month passive income.
At this point, you can go where you want, stay where you want, and eat where you want. You’re not worried about the monthly budgets anymore. $50,000 a month is a different world to what most people are living — especially if it’s rolling in without working 80 hours a week.
Can you achieve $50,000 a month in passive income in less than a year?
No way in hell. And if you think that, then you’re delusional — and you should stop listening to me.
But, if you do what I talk about in today’s episode, consistently, and for a couple of years…
Then absolutely you can get there.
Now, if any of this excites you, then today’s episode is going to be a treat. I showcase a 24 apartment deal that proves you can actually make $9,000 a month in passive income.
Listen now!
Show Highlights Include:
- Yes, you can actually earn $50,000 a month passive income from multifamily real estate (1:56)
- Why single family real estate murders your dreams of financial freedom, passive income, and independence from a J—O—B (2:58)
- How to build legacy wealth by investing in (this) (and change the trajectory of your children’s future) (3:53)
- [Case Study] A 24 unit apartment deal proves you too can make $9,000 a month passive income (even if you think it’s a pie-in-the-sky dream) (5:45)
- How to earn an extra 5% when you purchase your first property with acquisition fees (only works if you use a “loan sponsor”) (8:15)
- Don’t want to be responsible for all the late-night repairs for your commercial property? No worries! Become an “asset manager” instead of a property manager (8:46)

A lot of veterans like to think:
“Real estate requires too much time and money to get started. Plus, if another crash happens, I’ll lose everything!”
Here’s the reality:
Not all investment methods are created equally. Some investments—like multifamily real estate— will allow you to replace your income faster. And that is definitely the case with multifamily real estate. Take Kevin Brenner, host of the Active Duty Passive Income Podcast, for example:
While still active duty, he was able to purchase his first quadplex for $350,000 in 2018, and sold it for $815,000 in January.
After 5 years, he walked away with $400,000 in net profit.
Best part?
He used his VA loan, and had zero down. If he did it, you can do it.
Now, if any of this excites you, then today’s episode is going to be a treat. Kevin will reveals exclusive real estate investing methods only veterans (and families of veterans) have access to. He also shares how to build a $400,000 nest egg so your finances are secure by the time you retire.

When you saw the title, did you think…
“Why would somebody pay me money for that? I don’t see how I’m worth that much?”
Stop.
Most of the people I speak to feel like this — me included sometimes. But everybody has a skill they can sell — and charge a handsome amount of money for it at the same time.
No, masterminds aren’t just reserved for “making money online” courses. There are parenting, health & wellness, selling & marketing, and even real estate masterminds.

The Fed is all over the place. They say one thing, but then they go ahead and do another.
They facilitated wasteful (and useless) government spending during the pandemic. How? By effectively printing up money for the deficit upon demand. This in turn created the inflation we are feeling today.
The end result for you?
The purchasing power of your dollar is murdered. Gas prices are through the roof. The cost of fruit and veg are off the charts. And suddenly, the income you’re bringing home isn’t enough to cover the mortgage repayments… and your house is foreclosed on by the banks.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Real estate.
In today’s episode, Kerry Lutz, host of the Financial Survival Network podcast shares how you can avoid potential stagflation by investing in real estate.

- Adopt “LTL” in your next real estate deal and make inflation irrelevant (17:38)

Here’s a tale of a winner and a loser: Moe wants to close his first multi-family deal (and amass a portfolio of a few thousand units.) The other day he closed his first 30 unit deal. He’s constantly making offers, raising money, getting attention, and making it happen. In a few short years, he will be a multimillionaire.
On the other hand, Mark joined the Deal Room, and quickly dropped out. He tried to rejoin again, but he never refilled the application. He’s missed the Deal Room, and will have to wait until 2023. Instead of chasing his dreams, he’s spending his weekends drinking with friends and family, and staying stuck in the rat race.
Both have the same goal: They want to escape the rat race, and buy their first multi family property. But only one made it.
So, how do we separate ourselves from being a real estate winner or loser?

We all know a guy like Joe. He’s a good dude. Drinks beer on Friday nights, and likes to shoot 12 point bucks on Sunday. He graduated high school, but never attended college. He got his high school sweetheart pregnant — which killed his college dreams — so he settled in his hometown and got hitched.
A few years later, Joe's working as a plumber for another man. He tried starting his own business, but he found the stress of paying employees, dealing with taxes, and avoiding the IRS caused a mental breakdown. He was underpaid and overworked. So he decided to “play it safe”, avoid risk, and go back to his old job.
The years pass by, and Joe eventually scrapes up enough money to buy a house, maybe a truck, and at the end of the day, that’s it.
That’s the story.
Unfortunately Joe represents 95% of Americans. They get trapped. They don’t break out of their shackles. And they never start that business they always wanted to.
Most people see the mountain of work, see what it takes, and then turn back to the life of quiet desperation.
Question is, are you?
Are you willing to stare down your procrastination, fears, and say enough is enough? If you’re ready to finally unlock your life, and start living the life you deserve…
Then you’re going to love today’s podcast. You’ll discover how to actually escape the 9-5 grind (even if you’ve tried and failed before.)
Listen now!
Show Highlights Include:
- The simple, yet obvious way to never work a 9-5 ever again (even if you have no time, no monetizable skills, and no money to invest in real estate) (7:00)
- How selling your family home could kickstart a multi-million dollar property empire (8:44)
- Why trading in your McMansion for a double wide trailer — and get laughed at by your friends and family — may potentially add another 0 to your bank account (9:35)
