April 30, 2020 Controlling Your Future Through Business & Investing
Hey everybody! AJ Osborne here, and welcome back to the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast.
Today we’re going to talk about control - control of your business, control of your future, control of your life.
We see it all the time (especially right now with the events that COVID-19 has brought with it), business unfortunately failing. Not because they weren’t profitable, but because they didn’t have the foundations built that would allow them to thrive in any environment. It goes without saying, if you want to build a business, it is absolutely critical to build it right, and to build it right from the very beginning.
The current events taking place are a the perfect case study as to why this is so important. Companies like Airbnb, We Work, and the like have taken a massive hit these past few months as the world has all but stopped turning. And not only have these companies taken a massive hit, so have the companies and individuals who utilize their services and that invested in them.
But how, how can a multi-billion dollar company lose more than half its value in such a short time? How are so many other once profitable businesses failing?
Because they didn’t or they don’t own the systems that allow their businesses to operate, scale, and truly succeed in any market condition.
Today we’re going to talk about how you can take control of your business and your future. We talk about the importance of building a brand and truly owning the systems your business or your investments require to function.
Thanks for listening guys! We’ll see you next time!

April 27, 2020 The Right Way to Raise Money for Real Estate Investing with Josh Cantwell
Welcome everybody to Cashflow 2 Freedom!
As you might know, we’ve talked quite a bit about real estate investing and the amazing benefits that it can provide to help us grow wealth and financial freedom. We’ve talked about everything from multifamily properties, to single family, to commercial, to one of my personal favorites - self storage.
There’s something though that we haven’t talked a whole lot about - funding.
Knowing how to fund or raise money for your real estate investments is a critical skill no matter what stage you’re at in your investment career.
Our guest today is an expert in this arena and is going to share with us how he went from managing money on Wall Street, to now having $200 million of assets under management and $39 Million of capital under management.
Josh shares key points with us about raising capital, working with private lenders, how he gets to know these private lenders, and so much more.

April 17, 2020 15 Minute Friday - Systems That Create Wealth
Welcome back everybody to this episode of our Cashflow 2 Freedom 15 Minute Friday.
There’s no two ways about, the times we’re living in right now are crazy, uncertain, and have a lot of us on the edge of our seats waiting to hear what’s next.
There are also a lot of us using this time to think about the goals and opportunities we’ve always wanted to create for ourselves - one of those goals being the accumulation of wealth. Maybe it’s investing or maybe it’s starting your own business, but you know that creating wealth and financial freedom is your ultimate goal.
But what’s the process? How do we get from point A to point B?
Wealth a lot of times seems like this magic occurrence, like the wealthy in the world just woke up one day and knew exactly what to do, where to go, what to say, what product or service to create and so on. As we all truly know though, wealth is no magical occurrence, it just has to be created.
How? You just have to know the game and play the game. That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today.
We go over the importance of aligning your goals and expectations with your chosen wealth vehicles, the exact process to go from idea, to testing your idea, to scaling your business, when and when not to use debt, and more.
Thanks for tuning in everybody. See you next time,
AJ

What is going on everyone, welcome to Cashflow 2 Freedom!
As always, we’re super excited to bring this episode to you all. We have a special guest on the show today who has been in real estate for over twenty years and now invests heavily in manufactured home communities. It’s my pleasure to welcome Kevin Bupp, CEO of Sunrise Capital Investors.
Kevin got his start in real estate at the early age of nineteen by finding and working with a mentor. As you hear from most any successful individual, the importance of finding a mentor is critical. We go over exactly how Kevin built a relationship with his mentor that helped propel him to the successes he experiences today.
Kevin is a wealth of knowledge across many different real estate asset classes. From owning over one hundred single family homes, to several hundred apartment doors, to commercial property and parking lots, to now owning several manufactured home communities, he’s done more than most.
But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, 2008 did a number on Kevin and it took him years to find his real estate groove again. Kevin shares the lesson learned from the financial crisis of 2008 and how that has shaped his investing today.
Being that 90% of Kevin’s portfolio is manufactured home communities, we touch on this industry, why he’s chosen to invest in it, what kind of communities he looks for, and what his strategies are to buy and immediately force value.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. As always, get your notes ready and learn how Kevin has built his real estate empire.

April 06, 2020 Personal Finance and Planning for Retirement with Damion Lupo
What’s going on everybody!? Welcome to Cashflow 2 Freedom.
As always, I’m excited as ever to bring you another incredible episode. This time, we have the pleasure of spending some time with Damion Lupo.
Damion’s personal finance and investing journey started when he was in college. His college didn’t last long however, as he was kicked out for refusing to shut down a bookstore that he had started that was putting the campus bookstore out of business. Damion obviously didn’t stop there.
A huge topic of discussion throughout this podcast is taking action… massive action. Damion shares how he went from investing in one house, to investing in one hundred and fifty houses in three and a half years.
The Great Recession of 2008 however hit Damion hard and forced him to look at himself and his strategies moving forward. Damion shares how success was a horrible teacher, the importance of training, studying, and building a team around yourself for what it is that you want to succeed at. A common theme here at Cashflow 2 Freedom is that you cannot build success on an island, we have to have a team and resources outside of ourselves to deploy that allow us to reach our true potentials.
Going further into this episode we talk finance. We talk about retirement and how we can all diversify our investing strategies to be able to weather the ups and downs of the market. We talk about how critical financial literacy is in our journeys to financial freedom.
This episode is packed full of value and actionable steps that we can all take to continue moving the needle for ourselves towards financial freedom. Get that note book out, whatever it takes, but be sure to soak up all that Damion and this episode has to offer.
Thanks for listening everybody,
AJ
