This episode with Eugene Marshall was powerful! When Eugene was in college, he was inspired by his peers and books he read to invest in real estate. When he purchased his first property, he used the FHA 203K loan. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. He ended up losing over 50,000 on this deal, but he didn't quit!During this first investment, he learned about the construction side of real estate. After completing the rehab on his first deal, he began coaching people on credit and real estate. The students he became credit coaches for became his partners and helped him to grow rapidly. Eugene has grown his portfolio to over 30 doors and he has been able to scale quickly because of partnership.

This episode with Olamide (De) Ewetusa was inspiring! She is a CPA and a graduate of Howard University and Wake Forest University. After realizing how much she was paying in rent, she calculated what her mortgage could be. She knew that she could rent rooms out to cover her mortgage expense. De's first purchase was a single family home in Southeast Washington D.C. The seller paid the closing costs and she also took advantage of a $5,000 first time home buyer grant. She ran into some challenges renovating the basement and eventually got the project done. She rented out one of the rooms and the basement which allowed her to save enough money for additional renovations.She found out about a $17,500 grant from Bank of America from her agent that did not require her to be a first-time homebuyer. This helped her to buy her next purchase which was a duplex in the same area. Her properties have appreciated rapidly and are collectively worth over $1 million. De will be a guest speaker in July for the B.R.E.D Real Estate Investing Community. She will teach us how to choose the right location to invest in.

Consider speaking to several lenders.Talk to your agent and lender about grants. There is money out there if you meet certain requirements. This can help with downpayment and closing costs. Always be willing to walk away from a deal. It can help with negotiation or prevent you from getting a bad deal. Access all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.com/Join the B.R.E.D.

This episode with Stephanie Assi was inspiring! Stephanie moved to the United States from the Ivory Coast on her own at 18 years old. Before she started college, she had to take one year of English classes to improve her proficiency. The turning point for her came during college when she was working as a server and overheard guests having conversations about real estate and business. When she graduated, she saved up and purchased a duplex that she used as student housing. She soon discovered that student housing wasn't the strategy for her.She sold the house 3 years later and used the proceeds to buy a single family property in Maryland. She converted the basement to a legal unit, rented it out and also rented out the other bedrooms. By doing this, she was able to live for free.Eventually she started investing out of state in Columbus, Ohio and Memphis Tennessee which are two places she's never actually visited.
