Click Here for the Show Notes
In this episode, Melissa sits down with a first-time real estate investor who took the leap into purchasing her very first long-term rental property. She shares how her interest in real estate began nearly a decade ago while living in the Bay Area—an environment where investing felt out of reach due to the high cost of living. Drawn to the tangible nature of property ownership and the hands-on process of buying her first home, she found herself captivated by real estate in a way the stock market never quite inspired. Tune in to hear her journey from curiosity to action, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and how she’s turning her passion for real estate into a path toward financial freedom.

TBT: Ask Marco - Common Questions About Real Estate Investing
Click Here for the Show Notes
Today’s question comes from Carlos — and it’s a great one because it touches on four of the most common questions real estate investors ask when building their portfolios. In this episode, Marco breaks down the key decisions every investor faces: choosing between a 15-year or 30-year mortgage, deciding whether to buy pre-construction or newly renovated properties, weighing the pros and cons of self-managing versus hiring a property manager, and determining how much to save for reserves, maintenance, and vacancies. Along the way, Marco explains how flexibility, inflation, and long-term strategy can work in your favor, and why your focus should always be on your own goals—not someone else’s pace or portfolio. Whether you’re just getting started or already growing toward ten properties or more, this episode offers practical insight on how to build wealth steadily and strategically through real estate.

Teaching My Kids About Wealth-What I Wish School Had Taught Me
Click Here for the Show Notes
In this episode, the speaker explores the deeply rooted issue of money trauma—the fears, habits, and limiting beliefs about money that are often unconsciously passed down from parents to children. She opens up about her own experiences teaching her kids, from toddlers to college graduates, how to think about money differently, build wealth, and pursue financial freedom. Rather than simply telling children “we can’t afford that,” she shares practical ways to turn everyday moments into lessons about saving, budgeting, and earning. Through open conversations and modeling smart financial behavior, she emphasizes teaching kids to create money rather than just consume it. Drawing from her own journey as an entrepreneur and real estate investor, she explains how she helped her children buy rental properties before they turned 18, showing them firsthand how money can grow through investing. Beyond strategies, she highlights the importance of parents healing their own financial wounds—recognizing that breaking the cycle of money stress begins with self-awareness and changing how we relate to money ourselves. Ultimately, her message is one of empowerment: by shifting the way we talk about and model financial habits, we can raise a generation that is emotionally secure, financially literate, and free from the weight of inherited money trauma.

TBT: Ask Marco - Goal Setting in Real Estate Investing
Click Here for the Show Notes
In today’s episode, Marco dives deep into one of the most practical and powerful tools for real estate success — SMART goal setting. Today’s question comes from Charms, who writes in with a thoughtful list of topics every new investor should be asking about: how to create achievable real estate goals for 2021 and beyond, what kind of cash flow investors can expect outside of expensive markets like California, whether to set up a company before buying a first rental, and even which personal finance tools and books are worth the time. Marco breaks it all down with clarity and enthusiasm, focusing on how beginner investors — especially couples still working full-time jobs — can use SMART goals to chart a realistic path toward financial freedom. He also shares his personal habits for continuous learning, from paper books to eBooks and Audible, and offers straightforward advice on tracking your finances without overcomplicating the process. Whether you’re aiming to replace your income with cash-flowing rentals or simply want a framework to measure your progress, this episode will help you turn broad ambitions into specific, measurable, and time-bound results.
