You have stumbled on to another episode of Get Your FILL, Financial Independence and Long Life, where we strive for ways to achieve those two goals. Right now, we’re in the middle of voluntary self-quarantine for COVID-19 and I know a lot of folks are going crazy from being at home, maybe too much togetherness with kids and family, or maybe not enough if you’re stuck at home alone.

I’m lucky enough to have a half-gutted house, so I have plenty to do even if this thing drags on for a year.

What about you, what are you doing to stay sane?

I’ve also started this app called splits in 30 days.

It’s great you say how much time you have each day to devote to this quest to be able to do a split and it gives you exercises to do every day and theoretically at the end of 30 days, I’ll be able to do a split although… I’m what, 57? I’ve never been able to do one so it’ll be somewhat of a miracle if that works.

But anyway, they’re great stretches.

So maybe that will help you if you could set a goal for yourself of something that you want to be able to accomplish in 30 days – like 30 days from now, I wanna be able to play the guitar or train for a race or stop eating junk food, who knows, but no matter what it is, I’m sure that you’ll be able to find an app or a YouTube channel or something that is devoted to getting you exactly where you wanna be in 30 days.

And trust me, it will help you feel a lot more focused and helps to mark the days. I literally have to get up in the morning and say, “Okay today’s Saturday or Sunday, whatever the day is.

Because otherwise you could just spend your whole quarantine in front of the television and that’s I think what half the people are doing, but why not make it an opportunity to learn something new, to do something different that you’ve always wanted to do.

Just a suggestion.

Today’s guests are such a lovely couple, and they really seem to have mastered the whole work-life balance, and the art of working together toward a common goal. A lot of things that they said resonate with me, and I’m just really excited that they were able to join me.

What advice would you give to folks who are just getting started, and how did you get started?

M: You kind of started out on your own before I joined to help you. I was still actually working a different job then.

J: As was I.

So for a long time, going back a long, long time ago, I roughly, briefly tried to get into real estate investing about 2008, 2009 before the big recession hit. I actually took Donald Trump’s course, of all things, which was a big disaster. Took some coaching at the time, and then the recession hit… then ended up losing my job, lost my house and going through some hard times like so many other people during that time. I got through it and fast forward like five or six years, I have a nice W-2 again and just thinking to myself: I’m reaching – I think I was reaching 40 at that point or just about 40 – and I’m like, “This isn’t what I want to do the rest of my life. I wanna get back into real state investing.” So I started listening to podcasts, started doing some research. I wanted to get into flipping houses and then I came across wholesaling and I said to myself: I think that’s what I want to do. If I can get really good at finding the properties and then that allows me any option from there. So I decided to just get a coach and mentor with the wholesaling. Started it as a side gig in J
