Excited to get to know you a little bit better. We’ve been talking all things about building an Airbnb wealth strategy. But before we get into that focus, George, would you help our listeners get to know you a little bit more by telling us a short part of your story and your current focus?
George:
My journey started when I was six, I’m from Peru, I moved here at the age of 15. Meanwhile, my parents got a divorce, I was very young, at the time, I didn’t get to see my dad, I lived in an adobe house back in Peru, and they just moved here, I had the opportunity for my parents, my mom to get a new life. When we came here, then to speak any English and didn’t know anything about this new world. We came in really, my goal was always to make an impact. Went to school now, and I started in the nightlife industry, in the service industry. I did that for about 10 years, and then while I did that, I discovered that I was just a super hard worker, and essentially ended up investing into a nightclub at the age of 27, and then after that, but not with without knowing what it was truly too. To know the aspect of real estate investing and having a true wealth strategy. I got into a bad partnership, and I lost everything I invested 400 grand in 2015ish, and by the time we opened a nightclub, I have been, about 9-10 years into this industry, and then all of a sudden lost everything. I told myself, I was gonna change my life and change people’s lives up to that.

Then I started studying real estate and in 2017 now launch a business that really just knowing the way that the way I wanted to truly go. I was just trying out, wholesaling and I was trying to fix and flipping and then while making that money, I ran into Airbnb and short-term rentals, and I started actually getting apartments and I rented apartments and as sub led them to into Airbnb and ended VRVO and booking.com. Essentially, I figured out that it was awesome cash flow, and then I swapped my entire strategy into all of my focus, and all my best is going into there. We’ve been able to build since then, from like, zero to about 170 $180,000 right now a month, and that took me about three years. Our focus is truly making an impact on real estate investors and just entrepreneurs in the real estate space via short-term rentals.

George, that’s a really unique, cool background. What a story what a journey. I want you to take us back to our high school days. I believe we’ve all been given certain gifts and some people call these superpowers some people call these strengths. I believe their God-given gifts that are given to us to be a blessing and help to others. What are those one or two gifts that you believe you are given and how does that help how you help and bless people today?
George:
I would say my biggest gift that I essentially discovered while I was in my young days was being able to connect with people. I would come in and bring people together and connect people, and I would bring them to events, I would make them have a great time. My gift was to get them connected to a great end, and today, I use that strategy, that gift to bring people and connect them, but connected with their purpose, their destiny, and it also helped them via our events, seminars in our training, and then they get to actually develop many relationships, they get to develop strategies, they get to connect with fellow industry, people that are in the same realm, and they’d really better their lives by developing new strategies and connecting and learning about what we do every single day and how we help people over, their circle battles in real estate investing and, exit strategies.
Brett:
Connecting well with others and bringing them together. It’s all accomplished a common goal or purpose or their purpose and their destiny. Is that a fair summary?
George:
I love it. Yes, sir.
