What would you do if you found yourself in debt at 24 with no income or credit to speak of?

Thank you for tuning into the "Inspired To Invest" real estate podcast. This week, Alfonso Cuadra, the "godfather of real estate" is with us.

Alfonso's journey has been far from smooth. Entrepreneurial from the start, he built a big business early on, but it crashed and burned. Real estate became his saving grace.

Alfonso, who now boasts a 27-year-long career in the industry and a multi-million dollar portfolio, shares his extraordinary journey from financial illiteracy to financial freedom. His belief in the power of real estate investing to transform lives is infectious, and his story is a testament to the power of determination and the will to change one's life.

Alfonso's journey wasn't always smooth sailing. Like many of us, he faced his fair share of obstacles and doubts. The fear of failure and lack of self-confidence plagued the early years of his career. Yet, Alfonso overcame these hurdles with a simple yet powerful strategy - trust your gut, do your due diligence, and never underestimate the power of a team. His experiences, including dealing with drug dealers and prostitutes in value-add deals, demonstrate his courage and tenacity.

As Alfonso says, "No matter where you are in life, you too have the power to change your situation."

But Alfonso's aspirations extend beyond his own financial freedom. His personal goal of helping others has led him to start his Youth Foundation. Through this foundation, Alfonso aims to inspire young people to take risks, try new things, and take the right actions to reach their goals.

As we explore Alfonso's journey, we'll also be exploring the importance of focus, alignment with one's ultimate goal, and the delicate balance between career goals and family time.

Join us on this journey, and you might just find the inspiration you need to kickstart your own path to financial freedom.
