Speaker 1 (00:00):
I’ve always been a long-term thinker. I’m okay with sacrificing now for a greater future. So me holding made complete sense to me and now that I’m, I wouldn’t say I’m on the other side just yet, but now that I’ve been holding things for quite some time, I’m really seeing that power of holding that equity that you’re building, that appreciation that you’re getting. People are paying your mortgages down for you while you’re cash flowing. To me, it just makes complete sense. Why wouldn’t you do that? I think it’s just a lack of education.

She does a lot of great things, helping a lot of people in the real estate space, but also real estate investor herself. Her journey has been pretty awesome. So I’m super excited, Martine, to have you on today.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Well, thank you so much for having me on, David. I’m really humbled by being on your podcast, and I really hope that my experience that I share with people, that they take action on it and they add some value to their lives.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, that’s what I want from this is actionable advice for people to be able to go out there and get help. So tell people a little bit if they don’t know who you or what you’re doing or what brought you down the real estate space so that way they get a little frame of reference before we get into the meat and potatoes.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, cool. I’ll just, I guess give a brief synopsis of my story. So I’ve been working since teenage years and things of that nature, and I always thought when I got my degree that I’d have a job that I loved. Grass is greener on the other side. So I got my degree in finance. I started working a job in the DC area. I live in Richmond, just a frame of reference about two hours away, but my advisor told me to go to dc. Apparently they have lots of connections there. So I got a job there, and it turns out I still hated it, okay? I wasn’t making enough money. I didn’t have the time freedom that I wanted, and it just wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. I ended up getting fired from that job, and it sucked. At the time, I had bought a car and stuff while I was there and I’m like, oh man, how I’m going to afford this car.
(03:38):
But anyway, I ended up moving back to Richmond. My dad, he noticed the entrepreneur bug in me. So he said, you ought to get into real estate investing. And I said, well, how am I going to do that? I don’t know anybody successful at that. I don’t have any money. How’s that going to work? And he was like, oh, you’re smart. You’ll figure it out. So he was right. I did figure it out. So I started just hanging around people that not were at the goal. That was a little bit too intimidating for me at the beginning, just people that were hungry. We wanted more out of our lives. We wanted to do more. And someone gave me a book called How to Quit Your Job in 19 Weeks by Sean Terry. And that book, they talked about wholesaling, and I really didn’t do much with it when I first read it.
(04:29):
Remember that car I told you about when I worked that first job out of college? Well, that car got repossessed, and when that car got repossessed, the next day I started taking real estate seriously, because in my mind I thought, well, if I could just make enough to get the car back. So that started my journey and to get into real estate, and it just opened a door for me that now I focus on buying, hold investing because it really is the path to wealth. If I could start over again, I wouldn’t have done wholesale and I would’ve just went straight to buying hold. But you live and you learn, right? But I’m hoping that your listeners learn from my mistakes and you go straight for the gusto.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Okay? So you would’ve done it differently and gone the buy and hold route instead of wholesale upfront. Now you hear a lot of people say buy and hold, you have to have money for that. So do you buy it creatively or do you have a lot of money when you came into it? I mean, I don’t know, you gave the car story, so I don’t want to assume anything though, ever. I want to hear your side of it, of getting
Speaker 1 (05:39):
To buy home. So I was able to build my rental portfolio that now bought my freedom by using other people’s money, and I learned that along the journey. So the reason I got into renting properties, because this is my bread and butter, is I accidentally became a landlord, to be honest with you. And the reason I say accidentally is because every time I spoke to someone, I went in their house, I would ask them, Hey, do you want a cash offer or would you take payments? And most people would say, I want the cash offer. Well, I went in one house and he said, I’ll take the payments. And in my head I’m thinking, you’ll take the payments. Nobody takes the payments. So I said, well, let me see how I’m going to structure the deal so I can make you an offer on that. And what I was really mean was, let me figure out how to do this because nobody ever takes the payments.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, that’s great.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So I went to a meetup. I said, Hey, I went in someone’s house and they told me they take the payments. I don’t even know how to structure the deal. They showed me how to structure the deal. I presented it to the seller. We went back and forth a little bit on negotiating, but what I did was a lease option agreement. And then I ended up doing a sandwich lease option agreement. And by doing that, I started getting checks for work. I did a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
What the heck is a sandwich lease option before you keep going if people don’t understand that, what’s that?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So a sandwich lease option. So a lease option agreement is when you’re leasing a property and you have the option to purchase it in the future. So what I did was I did a lease option with the seller, and then I found a tenant buyer or a tenant, whatever you want to call ’em, that was also going to have a lease option with me. And I made the spread in between. So specifically this seller, he wanted me to put $500 down for my option fee. I believe I was paying him, I think $400 a month. This is way back. So these prices are low, but it was $400 a month, and then I was going to buy the house from him for $35,000. Now I still own this house, and I did a lease option with someone that wanted to come into this deal and he put $5,000 down.
(08:10):
He paid $700 a month, and then he had the option to buy it for $60,000. And at the time, 35 was kind of high, just to be honest. I mean, you’re familiar with Richmond. It was not in the best neighborhood, but the power, I’m glad I did that. It opened my eyes. I wish I would’ve known more about borrowing money from other people at that time to structure deals. But that house, as I told you, we got it for 35,000. The house is worth $240,000. Now why are we selling real estate? Why are we selling?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Right? Yeah. Wow, that’s incredible. And it sounds like it kind of fell into your lap a little bit. What you don’t want just the full amount, you’ll take the payments. That was great. I think something else too that was key was you went to a meetup, you had a group of people, they were able to take that deal too to be able to present to them and they helped you. So has that been big on your journey, the groups, the meetups and that
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Type of thing? Yes. I’d say when I was first starting out, I didn’t really, I mean, I looked for a mentor to help me, but I wasn’t really getting the guidance that I was hoping to get from the person. But what really helped me learn how to this business and doing things was listening to podcasts and also going to meetups. Because when I first started, it took me a while to get a deal and I would just keep listening to podcasts to try to understand what I needed to do, because I started with direct mailing and when I would direct mail people, they would call. I would be afraid to answer the phone. So I would call ’em back. I was going through all the motions, and then I would get maybe one or two calls from my 50 people that I mailed, and I was like, man, this doesn’t work. But as I listened to podcasts, I realized I wasn’t mailing enough people. I wasn’t mailing them often enough. I learned what I was doing wrong, and then I kind of got to a point where I was like, well, it’s no way. All these people on these podcasts are lying. These people, everybody’s on this podcast saying they’re making money, they’re doing deals, they’re doing that. It’s no way they’re all lying. I’m just going to stick with this until it starts working for me. And then I did, and it works. Consistency was key.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, no, that’s awesome. And then you took the action and then you saw it work out in your own life once. I like how you said that too. The podcast gave you the eyeopener that it wasn’t what you were doing, it was just skewed that you didn’t know that you had to do more, that you had to go out there and it was a numbers game and how many times you’re hitting them. That’s really good, where a lot of those people that have gone before have tested a lot of that stuff. So it sounds like you took their test and made it your own, which is good. So then how did you come to the conclusion or when on your journey that wholesaling though can be good for cash? The real monies and the wealth is in the buy and hold. When did that click?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I’d say that that clicked shortly after me getting that house with the guy that would take the payments, but I still didn’t understand how could I buy a property if the seller wasn’t willing to take payments. I didn’t know that yet. So I ended up going to different conferences and now I’m hearing about people investing their retirement money into deals that I have already. So it just got me thinking. I’m like, huh, let me find out more about this. Because really, to be honest with you, the secret sauce and being able to get money for your deals is you have to know how to get deals. You have to know how to put somebody’s money in a safe position so that they feel comfortable lending you on that deal. And then also you have to build great relationships with people and explain to them how this process works so that they feel safe, comfortable, you want to give them a good return and things of that nature while you’re building what you’re building, you want to make it a win-win for everybody.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, no, that makes sense. So then it sounded like going to those other places opened your eyes to that, and then did you start getting more deals then that you were able to take down to buy and hold from there?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
When I figured it out, I was taking them down, David. People were like, why aren’t you sending out any wholesale deals keeping them? That’s why.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
That’s great. So how long have you been doing that then on your real estate journey? That was that a year ago, two years, multiple years?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
No, it’s been a while. So I’ve been doing real estate in total for 10 years now. It took me two years for me to get a deal, but when I got a deal, I got five of ’em at one time. Oh, wow. So it was amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 3 (13:25):
When it rain to port.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, right. It was just like, man, it’s a drought. Not anymore. But I’d say maybe, I don’t know if an exact date of when exactly after, but I’d say maybe a year or I’d say like a year after that, I started really keeping them myself because it just made more sense. And I’ve always been a long-term thinker. I’m okay with sacrificing now for a greater future. So me holding made complete sense to me. And now that I’m kind, I wouldn’t say I’m on the other side just yet, but now that I’ve been holding things for quite some time, I’m really seeing that power of holding that equity that you’re building, that appreciation that you’re getting. People are paying your mortgages down for you while you’re cash flowing. To me, it’s just makes completely sense. Why wouldn’t you do that? I think it’s just a lack of education.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And you like to teach people about their freedom number or how do they get out of their rat race? So how did you discover that? Or did you already know that inherently? Or did you know that you, that’s since you’re a long-term thinker, how many houses you need or how’d you come up with that framework?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, so in terms of freedom number, I’d say that I’ve used it somewhat. I’ve been more so thinking of cashflow, how much money do I need? I’d rather look at it from that standpoint. I try to see if I can maximize the amount of cashflow I’m getting from a property by renting to a different type of renter and things of that nature. But yeah, I know it just really helps with planning, doing a freedom number. So for people that are wondering, what is this freedom number you guys are talking about? And basically it’s a frame of reference so that you can know how many properties that you would need to retire or I mean, maybe you don’t want to retire, maybe you like your job, maybe you just want to have a little bit more freedom to do the things that you do. So I want to take us through this exercise if it’s okay with you, David. Yeah, for sure. To kind of just help people to say, okay, well what is this?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Well, I want it too, so take me through it, just like you would take anyone through it. This is good.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Okay, well, cool. So it’s two ways that you can decide that how much money you need per month to live comfortably. So one way is you can use your W2 income and you have to add some taxes and insurance to things that your employer might be paying for you. And as long as you’re not living above your means, you can use that as a frame of reference of how much cashflow you
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Need. Big caveat there, as long as you’re not living above your means,
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Right? You have to say that first because then that’s how much cashflow you would need. But a more detailed approach is you can write out everything that you’re spending money on each month. This one might be a little more accurate. Yeah, yeah, it sounds like it. So you can put out your mortgage or your rent if you’re renting. I wrote a list to make sure I didn’t forget things. Utilities, credit cards, any loan payments, like car loans. Don’t forget your groceries. Gas, don’t forget fund money. You’re not going to want to quit and just sit around the house and do nothing. You want to have some fun.
(17:16):
Don’t forget those. In insurance and taxes, we live in the great USA. We have to pay those things, right? Yes. Investments, savings, education, daycare or school for your children, things like that. I said education because I think you talk about the different buckets that you can have different accounts that pay for different things. And when I read your book, David, I was just like, man, this is eye opening here, but I know that you can have different accounts for what you pay for. So when I say education, I’m specifically saying this is the amount of money that you’ve budget to go to conferences to pay for books that you want to read, to continue your self education. Because as we evolve, we need to evolve with our education and learning more things. So write out all of those things and see what they are. Let’s just say for easy sake that what you need is $10,000 a month, $10,000 a month, and you’re free.
(18:22):
Okay? So let’s just use average regular cashflow. I mean, I like to get a little cream of the crop for the cash flows, but let’s just say an average cashflow. A lot of people will say that after you pay your expenses on a property that you should be making at least 300 bucks a month from their rent. So if that was the case, if you took that $10,000 and you divided it by 300, that means you need, it says like 33.33, three properties. So 34 properties, right? 34 doors. Or you can decide that you want to rent it to a different type of tenant. You don’t necessarily have to rent to a long-term tenant. So I know I do some midterm rentals. I don’t do all midterm rentals. I like to diversify some, but I do some midterm rentals. And the midterm rentals usually make double what a regular tenant would pay. So
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I’m a midterm rental if someone doesn’t know what a midterm rental is.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That’s a great question. So a midterm rental, it’s like a short-term rental, but my stays are at least 30 days. What I do is I target people that are coming into town for work. So I know a lot of people have talked about traveling nurses or I have a guy right now that he’s in town because doing a construction project or I just have a lot of people that come into town for work and they need to stay for a month or more, but not a year. They don’t need to be a long-term tenant, and they want it to be furnished. They don’t want to pay bills. So it’s like a short-term rental except for they stay longer, but you still get some pretty high cashflow,
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Whereas long-term rental for you, would that be over a year then that they’re staying or a year?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, that would be a year or more. So for a long-term rental for me would be, I would just be providing the house really. They pay their own utilities, they furnish it. It’s just like a regular rental property. So I have a property, I’m going to use it for the example, so it can be real for people. I have a property that if I were to just regularly long-term rent, it would be $1,800 a month for the rent.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh, like gross rent? What? That They’re paying gross
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Rent. Okay. And let’s just say that that’s making the 300 minimum for that for easy. So you’re actually bringing in your pocket after you pay your mortgage taxes, insurance, 300 bucks a month. But when I midterm rent this place, it makes $3,600 a month. Now you have more expenses. You have to account for that. You have to pay utilities, you have to pay the cleaning fees. Hopefully you’ll charge a cleaning fee so they can pay it, but you have some extra expenses. So let’s just say for this example, the extra expenses are $500. So that additional 1800 minus 500 is 1300 plus the 300 that you, if it were a regular long-term rental, that’s how much you would’ve been making. So you’d make $1,600 a month if you were to midterm rent per property, for instance. In that case, with your $10,000 that you would need each month, all you would need is seven properties.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, that’s a lot less than 33 or 34. That
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Is a lot less. But you have to assess the risks with that, because remember, when covid start, when covid happened, the world stopped. The people that really felt it were those short-term rental people in the midterm rental.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, yeah. Short term and midterm, I sorry, Internet’s messing up.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh, no, no, it’s not. That was me interrupting you. So you’re good
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Because people weren’t traveling. I mean, unless you were like a nurse and you were in the covid ward, as I call it, you were staying home. So I’d say yes, you can make more return, but there is more risk. So for me, I like to have a balance of the longer term rentals and the midterm rentals, but when you do it this way, it seems a lot more attainable of what you need to do. And you have a guide, so you’d say, I need seven properties, which that seems kind of low, and I feel like because they’re all midterm, maybe I would say maybe 10 or 15 just to be a little bit more safer. But when you look at it this way, you need seven properties or you only need 10 properties. It seems a lot more attainable than me saying, well, I got to get a hundred doors before I could quit.
(23:28):
And this is just so you can continue to live the life that you’re already living. And now that you have all this found freedom, what would you spend your time on? Maybe you want to go buy more. Maybe you just love this and you want to keep buying more, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. You can spend more time with your family. You can spend more time doing your hobbies or things that you love. But yeah, it just helps really put into perspective that it really doesn’t take much for you to be free if you start working towards it.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And I like how you gave people the option where you got into it, will the seller take payments? Can we do a lease option? Can we do this creative stuff? And then you got into using other people’s money to fund your deals. So it’s like, then it, it sounds like you were able to ramp up faster once that was unlocked too, which was very cool. Right.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I think a lot of people, I think most new investors biggest mistake is that we start with wholesaling because we don’t have any money or we are using our own money to fund the deals. And both of those things limit you. When you start using other people’s money to fund deals, your possibilities are limitless. It’s a lot of people out here. It’s pretty much how much can you handle If you’re getting them really bad, you might not want to do a lot of them at one time. You might get overwhelmed, but yeah, your possibilities are limitless.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Let me ask you this then. I know you said if you would go back, you would just focus on buying and holding, but do you say that I would go back and just do that and only focus on that? Or would you focus, or would you have an active stream along with your passive stream? Or do you like the one route?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I think having an active stream is nice, but I don’t think I would’ve made my active stream selling houses.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
My or selling paper. I would’ve would’ve found something else to be active for, to have some active money, and I would’ve kept every single one.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Okay. Because buying at the wholesale price and then you’re being able to buy and hold it. Yeah. That’s really good advice. I also like two, when you took us through that, the process, there’s a lot of variables. It depends on how much you really need on a monthly basis. If you need less than 10 K, that’s less doors. But if you need more than 10 K, maybe that’s where the midterm, short term, do you want some of those more active type properties, but they’re able to net you more as well, so you don’t have to have as many, or do you go the long-term route? There’s like, I like how you set that up because you gave people the option short-term midterm, and you’re going to have different cash flows. And like you even said the risk factor as well too, because midterm, short-term, if a covid type event happens again, that gets shut down more than long-term, or I don’t know if there’s a vice versa to that where long-term will get shut down, but midterm and short term are still great.
(26:41):
So it’s like you just have to evaluate a lot of things. And then you took us through that freedom number formula, making it just real simple. It sounds like it just takes a little bit of work there. Sounds like you just sit down and write out what you really want, and then if you want to get nitty gritty, what you really have spent money on, you have to look at. So do you track that any certain way? Do you use spreadsheets or There’s a billion of those. I feel like personal finance, bank software type budgeting tools or whatever. So do you use something for that when you help people?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Well, I am just using spreadsheets right now. I know that there are some nice softwares out there. I will say when it comes to technology, I’m okay, but not the best. And I mean, I leave, I guess a lot of the softwares to the people that their expertise is that my expertise is buying and holding and doing the spreadsheet. Yeah, I do what I got to do so I can have an idea where I need to be. But when it comes down to keeping the books and all that stuff, I leave that to the professionals.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, I understand that for sure. Cool. Well, this has been really awesome. So I guess before we go into how people get ahold of you or what’s the next step with you, is there any other advice or maybe your hardest lesson that you’ve learned in real estate up to this point?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I could give some advice, which I’ve noticed when I see people. So a lot of people are stuck in the analysis paralysis stage because they want to know every single thing, every single scenario of how to do something. And a lot of the times those scenarios don’t even play out. I would encourage people to learn the first step and take action on that first step and then learn the second step and take action on the second step. And the reason I’m saying to do it in this manner, because you’re going to learn so much more on the journey than you could have learned in a book anyway. And I don’t know about people that are listening, but I know me personally, I like to get paid while I’m learning. So if I’m taking action, I’m getting paid while I’m learning. So I would just encourage people to do that.
(29:10):
And then also just try to get around the people that are already where you want to be. And I know that that’s intimidating because you’re like, well, what can I offer these people? Try to add some value. And the best way starting out that you can add value to people is do some work for them for free. Help them out. These people are busy and you’re going to learn so much that can help your business. So I’d say in terms of where you can find those people, try to find those local meetups. A lot of people are way more experienced, and you’ll start finding out way more events and places that you can go just by being around them.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Awesome. So what I heard was learn to earn and earn while you’re learning. I like how you added that into it. And then also that network, you got to build that network. Your network is your net worth. A lot of our good friends, Jim Ingersoll and a lot of the good people there in the Richmond area say that. And I just think that’s really good. Great advice. And if this has been an awesome episode, I love this one, focusing on those numbers. Yeah, this has been great. Making sure you’re really working towards a business that serves you. I like how you broke down the different rentals and all that just, and like you said, your secret sauce. Get the deals in the door and then you’ll figure out what to do with them and how they fit into your overall plan. This is good stuff. So Martine, how do people take the next step with you, whether that’s a website or a program, what do you have?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Okay, cool. So you guys can connect with me on my group and Facebook. It’s called the Freedom Inc. And basically we talk all things, buy and hold investing. It’s three questions that you’ll have to answer. It’s very simple. Just your name, email, and are you buying and holding or do you want to buy and hold because we want to make sure we keep our community specifically on that. And then also for anybody that’s serious and they’re really interested in getting into this and they need some help, I want to help as many people as I possibly can. And I’m no big coaching company where I have a sales floor that’s going to go look at this. I’m reviewing all of these things myself. So you can text me, you can text me at 8 0 4 4 9 5 1 3 3 3, and I’ll help you as best as I can.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Awesome. Well, Martine, this is great stuff. And if you’re out there listening to this, you need to take action on what you’re saying. And if you’re like, I’m just like Martine and I do not like the backend stuff, all the numbers, and she was telling me to go and gather the expenses. If you need help with all that, reach out to us@simplecfo.com. We’ll make sure we lead the people to do that for you and help you connect with people like Martine. So that way if you need some extra help, we’re coaching as well. But we’re a financial leader that comes in to help you gather all that stuff up that you don’t like to do. So that’s simple. cfo.com. Martin, again, thank you for being a great guest and providing a ton of value with actionable steps today.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
