Get Wealth

What happens when you combine real estate investing, sales, licensing, networking, and social media? In this episode of the Get Wealth Show, Michael Hoang sits down with Ben Deal, a Houston-based real estate investor and agent who has spent years working with real estate investors and homeowners. Ben shares his journey from a successful corporate sales and business development career into real estate, explaining how leaving the corporate world led him into wholesaling, acquisitions, and eventually becoming a licensed real estate agent.

Ben explains why he believes getting a real estate license can be one of the best tools available to investors. He discusses how his experience meeting thousands of homeowners showed him the value of building long-term relationships instead of focusing only on individual transactions. The conversation also explores how real estate investors can work with agents, how agents can generate more listings by partnering with investors, and why Ben believes investor-agent relationships can create a powerful win-win.

Michael and Ben also break down Ben's Investor Agent Game Plan, his team's Team Flip strategy, and how seven first-time investors partnered on a deal to gain real-world experience. They discuss networking, social media, changing wholesaling regulations, building relationships, and the importance of having multiple ways to serve homeowners. Ben closes by sharing the books that shaped his approach to business and communication and explains how listeners can access his Investor Agent Game Plan.

What if you don't have much money but have plenty of time?

In this episode of the Get Wealth Show, Michael Hoang sits down with Birmingham, Alabama real estate investor Brian Trippe to break down how brand-new investors can get their first deal, find motivated sellers, build a network, and start investing without waiting until they have a pile of cash.

Brian shares how he went from discovering real estate investing in 2012 to making $10,000 on his first wholesale deal just 45 days after learning about wholesaling. He explains how he found the deal through Craigslist, negotiated with the seller, found a buyer, and figured out the transaction along the way.

The conversation then dives into Birmingham's cash-flowing real estate market, driving for dollars, finding vacant properties, making offers consistently, building buyers and private-money lists, and why taking action and failing forward is more important than endlessly consuming educational content.

Brian also explains why new investors should ask experienced people for advice instead of asking them for money or to "pick their brain," how to get the most out of real estate meetups, why community can be more valuable than a mentor when you're starting out, and how to determine the best real estate strategy based on whether you have more time or money.

How can you build a rental property portfolio when you have little or no money of your own? In this episode of the Get Wealth Show, Michael Hoang sits down with Chad Harris, a Dayton, Ohio real estate investor who built his portfolio by raising private money from everyday individuals. Chad shares his unconventional path into real estate after working as a high school teacher and missionary overseas, explaining how he started buying rental properties despite having no savings, no job, and being completely unbankable.

Chad breaks down his first $12,000 rental property, his current buy-and-hold strategy, and how he uses long-term private financing to fund purchases and rehabs. He explains why he structures many private loans as interest-only notes, how he learned what his lenders actually want, and why investors should stop assuming what a lender, seller, or tenant wants. The conversation also covers finding private lenders through your existing network, self-directed IRAs, finding deals through the MLS and simple marketing strategies, building a rental portfolio that can operate without you, and teaching the next generation about real estate.

She discusses mobile home parks, owner financing, note creation, private lending, buying mobile homes on and off land, rehabbing mobile homes, moving mobile homes, and even how investors can find potential buyers through self-directed IRA records.But this episode isn't just about real estate.Michael and Mitzi also dive deep into mindset, emotional awareness, personal responsibility, abundance, and the importance of enjoying the journey.

What happens when a real estate investor recognizes that the market is changing and decides to change with it? In this episode of the Get Wealth Show, Michael Hoang sits down with David Pupo, a real estate investor from Orlando, to discuss his journey from corporate recruiting and wholesaling to building a business focused on manufactured housing and affordable housing.David shares how his early experience in wholesaling taught him the importance of systems, operations, and understanding the rules of the game. He explains why he eventually retired his wholesale operation and moved away from traditional house flipping as affordability became a growing challenge, particularly in Florida. David also explains why manufactured housing caught his attention and how his business is now focused on acquiring land, purchasing manufactured homes factory-direct, and developing affordable housing.The conversation also covers real estate licensing, MLS data, wholesaling regulations, bandit signs, market trends, entrepreneurship, and balancing real estate with new fatherhood.

Can one real estate strategy help you build passive income, capture equity, and create true financial freedom? In this episode of the Get Wealth Show, Michael Hoang sits down with Chris Bounds to discuss his journey through real estate investing, from rehabs and rental properties to creative financing, subject-to deals, and multifamily investing.Chris shares why some of his biggest financial wins came from holding properties instead of selling them too quickly. He explains how two properties that could have been sold for smaller profits eventually generated more than $220,000 in gross proceeds after being held and allowed to build equity. The conversation also explores why rental properties must cash flow, the importance of maintaining reserves for vacancies, repairs, and capital expenditures, and how a small number of well-bought properties can create significant long-term wealth.Michael and Chris also dive into subject-to investing, including the importance of understanding the details surrounding insurance, HOAs, lender communication, contracts, and title. Chris discusses his investment fund and community, the value of networking and providing value first, and how he uses events, workshops, masterminds, and partnerships to connect with other active real estate investors.Whether you're interested in creative financing, subject-to real estate, rental properties, or building long-term passive wealth, this episode offers practical lessons on turning active income into passive assets and building a real estate business designed for financial freedom.Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Chris Bounds02:00 – Chris's Journey Into Real Estate Investing05:00 – Getting Started With Rehabs and Investment Properties10:00 – Learning the Power of Holding Real Estate15:00 – Why Holding Properties Can Create Bigger Profits20:27 – Two Properties That Generated Over $220K22:18 – How Rental Property Equity Can Build Wealth23:04 – Turning Active Income Into Passive Assets24:28 – Financial Independence vs. Financial Freedom25:48 – Chris's Investment Fund and Real Estate Community27:00 – Why Real Estate Is a People and Networking Business30:00 – Creating Value Before Asking for Value35:00 – Building Wealth Through Partnerships40:00 – Creative Financing and Subject-To Investing45:00 – The Importance of Understanding Deal Structure50:00 – Insurance, HOAs, and Lender Communication55:00 – Why the Details Matter in Subject-To Deals01:01:12 – The Nuances of Subject-To Investing01:02:30 – How to Connect With Chris Bounds01:03:59 – How to Contact Michael Hoang01:04:15 – Closing ThoughtsDownload your Free Resources nowhttps://linktr.ee/michaelbesomeoneHow to Get in Touch with Chris BoundsWebsite: InvestedXLinkedIn: Chris BoundsInstagram: Chris BoundsFacebook: Chris BoundsChris shares that the best way to communicate with him is through the InvestedX community.

Can you build a profitable real estate business while creating more time for your family?

What does it take to build lasting wealth through real estate for more than 45 years? In this episode of the Be Someone Podcast, Michael Hoang sits down with Russell Simmons, owner of the Texas Real Estate Investment Center and a longtime Houston real estate broker and investor. Russell shares his journey from buying his first piece of land as a teenager in 1976 to building a diverse real estate portfolio that includes residential properties, commercial real estate, multifamily, land, and ranches.

Russell and Michael discuss why real estate investors need to take what the market gives them, how to identify emerging neighborhoods, and why local expertise can make a major difference when buying or selling land. They also dive into the importance of property ownership for building wealth, getting hands-on when necessary, managing carry costs, knowing when to let go of a deal, and surrounding yourself with the right people.

The conversation also explores Russell's approach to commercial real estate, the importance of buying at the right price, networking, integrity, and staying adaptable through changing markets. For new and experienced investors alike, this episode is a reminder that real estate success is not just about finding deals—it is about building relationships, creating value, staying consistent, and having the discipline to wait for the right opportunity.
