Guiding people through the Rat Race to financial independence

    From Flipping Burgers to Flipping Million Dollar Homes Rafael Estrada #57

    From Flipping Burgers to Flipping Million Dollar Homes Rafael Estrada #57

    Born in Peru, Rafael Estrada immigrated to the United States and had to  earn everything he has today. Arriving at 14 years old and not speaking a  word of English, Rafael had to catch up to his peers right at the start  of high school.

    And away from school, he worked where he could,  as he didn’t have the proper documentation at the time. But he made his  circumstances work and that attitude carried over to his real estate  career.

    Influenced by his father, Rafael’s dad would encourage  and empower Rafael’s entrepreneurial spirit, so much so that just after  two semesters of college, Rafael dropped out and got into banking. And  it was in a house flipping convention (with his father) that Rafael  began to really see the profits in real estate. He was bitten by the bug  and the rest is history.

    Up to date, Rafael owns seven rental  properties and has made over a million dollars in profits in his flips.  He is working on a couple of short term rentals through partnerships and  looks to continue to grow his rental portfolio and branch out his  businesses to other living needs that all people require.

    Find A Realtor That Knows The Struggle Of Investing - Emelyn Fernandez #56

    Find A Realtor That Knows The Struggle Of Investing - Emelyn Fernandez #56

    Emelyn Fernandez is a Dominican Republic native turned New York native.  She immigrated to the United States over 17 years ago speaking no  English and having very little. She went to a high school with over  5,000 students and while she had a lot of “hallway friends,” she focused  on her classes and did her thing.

    When it came time to apply to  college, the harsh realities of being an undocumented immigrant hit her  when she was denied opportunities of going to a university that she very  muched deserved. And while that sent her to a level of depression, the  resilience of overcoming a “no” would be the theme of her career and  business.

    And after giving birth to her first child, who has  special needs, she got to thinking not only of her future, but that of  her child’s as well. And real estate came knocking on her door.

    And  that's where we meet Emelyn in this episode. She’s an inspiration for  women and mothers all over the country who are going through the same  adversity. That’s part of the reason she wanted to share her story.

    Up  to date, she owns a total of seven doors and shows no sign of slowing  down as she aims to focus on growing by scale and taking more more multi  unit properties.
