Apr 22, 2022

There comes a time when tables turn. A host becomes a guest, and a guest becomes a host. Today, I get to be a guest on King Khang’s podcast. Khang will be interviewing me, intending to understand my real estate journey.

Khang and I are members of the Collective Genius  Mastermind, and we are both immigrants to the country. My real estate journey started when I was pursuing my MBA. I flipped a house and thought it would be a great path to follow. So far, I’m glad I chose the right path.

In this episode, we’ll talk about how I started in real estate, built a team, work-life balance, how I survived a recession, and Airbnb’s, among other interesting topics.

“The first thing that happens in a real estate downturn is that the ability to borrow money dries up quickly for those that are not well supported.”

“Anyone who aspires to be best in class, they throw work-life balance out the door.”

“For every two or three wholesale deals you do, you’ve got to start holding on to one.”

“Don’t compare your success or progress level with someone else’s. Because we all learn differently.”
