Getting Real

Our guest for today’s podcast, Chimene Van Gundy, has an incredible “rags to riches” story and now helps others create great returns with an amazing and affordable asset class.

After completing her BA in Criminal Justice from UTSA in 2006, Chimene worked multiple jobs in the corporate world as well as working as the lead paralegal for several different law firms. After being laid off in 2015 from her corporate job, Chimene decided not to return to a JOB and go it alone. Having spent time in and out of the foster care system, no one taught her about money, credit, or budgets. She read Rich Dad Poor Dad and states that this book ‘really changed her life,” and became a wake up call for her. She took some real estate education classes and got herself a mentor and the rest is history.

Chimene is the mother of five children: 23, 17, 15, 7, and 4, and runs and manages 5 different companies. She is known as the “Queen of Mobile Homes” because she has fixed, flipped, and wholesaled more than 300 units to date all in only three years.

Many women want to invest in real estate and think they don’t have enough money, but they’re actually sitting on thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands in their retirement accounts. In this episode we interview Kaaren Hall to learn how you can use your retirement funds to invest and grow your wealth.

Despite being in the midst of a recession and mortgage market collapse, Kaaren Hall founded and made a resounding success of uDirect IRA Services. The single mom discovered a strategic way to put her 20+ years in mortgage banking, real estate and property management to use. The solution was an untapped market for both her skills and for investors – self-directed IRAs. Through uDirect IRA, she has guided tens of thousands of Americans through the process of diversifying their investments using self-directed IRAs.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m really happy for the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I woke up early on Saturday morning and watched the wedding. I felt a lot of pride as I watched this woman who reminds me so much of my daughter (a biracial actress and Los Angeles-native who actually grew up attending the same church we do) sashay onto the world stage and become royalty with such grace and poise.

All that being said, I think this wedding is bad for women.

In today’s podcast I explain why and what you can do about it.
