How does a stay-at-home mom enter multifamily real estate investing?In this real estate conference interview, I share my personal journey —from spending six years as a full-time momto becoming actively involved in multifamily investments for over 11 years.We had no background in rental property investing.No experience.And not a lot of capital.We started as limited partners (LPs),learning from mentors and paying for education.Eventually, we sold our primary residence,sold our car,and even used retirement savings to raise capital to invest.It was not easy.It was not overnight.Step by step, we built knowledge, experience,and eventually became more involved in operations and property management.For moms who feel stuck,for families who move frequently due to work,and for anyone who thinks they are “too late” to start —Multifamily investing is not about quick wins.It’s about discipline, long-term thinking,and taking small steps consistently.This is a real story —from conference stage to real-life operations.✨ This video is for you if:You are a mom looking for ways to build wealth and change your situation.You want to hear the honest truth about starting in Multifamily Investing.You need the motivation to take that first tiny step toward financial freedom.📌 Let’s Connect & Support Each OtherIf my story resonated with you, let's connect:📱 WhatsApp: +13372242728📧 Email: [email protected]🌐 Website: a-strategy.com

🏠 Started with Less Than $4,000? | The Ultimate House Hacking Case Study

Can you really start Real Estate Investing with less than $4k? Marion did.

In this interview, she shares her incredible journey starting with a Duplex. She used a "House Hacking" strategy (living in one unit, renting the other) to cover her mortgage. The best part? Three years later, she did a Cash Out Refinance and pulled out $80,000 tax-free to buy her next distressed property!

Now, she is a full-time investor who moved from New Jersey to Houston, and she's closing on her next deal in less than 3 weeks.

🤝 Inside the MFIN Conference | Real Talk on the 2026 Market

What are the big players actually talking about behind closed doors? I took my camera to the MFIN (Multifamily Investor Network) conference to find out.

* The Slowdown: Zach reveals his construction-related business saw a 30% drop recently. * The Survival: Gabriel admits 2024 was about "survival," but smart operators are positioned for growth. * The Opportunity: With Interest Rates expected to drop under the new administration, is now the time to buy?.

📉 Is Deflation Finally Here? | Why Rents Are Dropping EverywhereRents dropped 1% nationally in December 2025, but in markets like Texas, Arizona, and Florida, the drop feels much sharper. Are we entering a period of deflation, or is this just a market correction?In this video, I break down the real data we are seeing on the ground as multifamily operators. From ICE enforcement and job losses to wages failing to catch up with inflation—the pressure on households is real. I also share the painful decisions we have to make (like cutting rents and offering months free) just to keep our occupancy above 90%.In this video, we discuss:The Data: Why rents are falling in 2025/2026.The Real Reasons: Migration changes, cost of living, and the "roommate effect."The Landlord's Dilemma: Why I'd rather drop rent by 10% than have a vacant unit.Market Watch: Specific updates on Houston, Cincinnati, and Mississippi.2026 Outlook: Why I think next year will still be a battle for survival.✨ This video is for you if:You are a real estate investor seeing higher vacancy rates.You are wondering if the US economy is shifting from inflation to deflation.You want to know how professional operators are handling rent reductions.You are a tenant noticing price drops and "move-in specials."Time Stamps: 00:00 - Intro: Rents are dropping, is it deflation? 01:10 - Correction vs. Collapse: The 1% drop explained 02:05 - The "Real" Reasons: Jobs, ICE, and Inflation 04:00 - The Stress of Staying at 90% Occupancy (Texas Market) 05:30 - The Cost of Vacancy: Why we offer 2-3 months free 07:45 - Struggles in Ohio & Mississippi (Student Housing trends) 09:10 - Conclusion: A forced tightening for households📌 Let’s Connect & Support Each Other If you are navigating this tough market and need strategy advice: 📱 WhatsApp: +13372242728 📧 Email: [email protected] 🌐 Website: a-strategy.com

🏢 3,000 Multifamily Units Hit Houston Foreclosure in January 2026 | The Market Reality CheckThe first foreclosure auction of 2026 just happened—and 8 properties totaling 3,000 units appeared on the list. That's a 50% increase from December's 2,000 units. The trend is clear: 2026 will bring more distressed assets to market.But here's what caught my attention: a 570-unit property with only $3.42M in loan balance. That's roughly $6,000 per door—a number that made me immediately drive by the property after the auction.🔍 What I Found:The property looked decent. Occupancy didn't seem terrible—I saw plenty of vehicles around the units. So why is it at foreclosure with such a low loan balance? I'm digging deeper, and I'll share my findings in a follow-up video.📊 Key Data from January 2026 Auction:- 8 properties, ~3,000 total units (up from 2,000 in December)- One portfolio (700+ units) appeared for the 3rd or 4th time- Properties ranging from $10M to $77M asking prices- Most investors (including us) cannot bring cashier's checks of this size within 3 hours- Strategic "slow motion" by lenders—not panic selling⚠️ The Hard Truth About 2026:This year won't reward speculation. It will reward survival. Cash alone isn't enough—you need:✓ A strong operations team ready to take over immediately✓ The ability to stabilize occupancy in challenging markets✓ Discipline around cash flow (positive cash flow is king)✓ Quick due diligence skills (you often don't get the list until days before)💰 Video Breakdown:⏱️ 0:00 - January 2026 foreclosure overview: 3,000 units2:30 - The mysterious 570-unit property at $6K/door5:15 - Why some properties keep appearing on the list7:45 - What "strategic slow motion" means for investors10:20 - Cash vs. team: the real barrier to entry13:00 - How to prepare for 2026 opportunities15:30 - Survival strategies for multifamily operators🎯 Critical Lesson:The next cycle in multifamily won't reward those with the best growth stories or highest leverage. It will reward operators who understand cash flow structure and maintain discipline during operations. 2026 belongs to those who can survive—and that means focusing on occupancy, controlling delinquency, and maintaining revenue.🤝 Let's Connect:📱 WhatsApp: +13372242728📧 Email: [email protected]

🏠 Inside a PadSplit Co-Living Home in Houston

In this video, Zach from A-Strategy walks through a real PadSplit property in Houston

and explains how this co-living model works in practice.

This is a 10-bed, 10-bath shared housing property designed to provide flexible,

affordable housing while reducing operational friction for owners.

We cover:

• How PadSplit and co-living properties are structured

• Shared kitchens, private bedrooms, and individual bathrooms

• Laundry and utility layouts that reduce maintenance calls

• Why flexibility matters for residents

• How location near transit and work centers drives demand

• Why this model fits into a long-term real estate portfolio

Some residents stay for weeks.

Others stay for years.

Utilities, internet, and furnishings are included,

creating a simple and predictable living experience for tenants.

This video is for you if:

• You are curious about PadSplit or co-living investments

• You are exploring affordable housing strategies

• You want to understand operations, not hype

• You are building a diversified rental portfolio

PadSplit is not about luxury.

It’s about efficiency, flexibility, and solving real housing needs.

🏢 2,000 Multifamily Units at Houston Foreclosure | The Real Numbers Behind the Market DistressOnly 6 apartment communities appeared at the November 2025 Harris County foreclosure auction—down from 4,500 units last month. But before you celebrate a market recovery, here's what the numbers really tell us.I personally walked a 320-unit property post-foreclosure. The occupancy? 30%. Economic occupancy? Closer to 25%. The lender's asking price? $10 million—that's just 60% of the original $15.3M loan balance, or under $30K per door.Sounds like a steal, right? Not so fast.📊 What This Video Covers:- The reality behind "fewer foreclosures" (spoiler: it's not good news)- Why a 320-unit property at $10M might still be a trap- How to calculate the TRUE cost of distressed multifamily- What 60% lender haircuts actually mean for investors- The critical due diligence steps before bidding at foreclosure- Why we were the ONLY potential buyers at the auction⚠️ Key Lesson: In 2026, cash flow beats leverage, growth stories, and aggressive strategies.

💪 The Myth of "Having It All" | Surviving Solo Parenting & BusinessI often get asked: "Snowie, how do you balance 4 kids, a marriage, and a real estate empire?" The real answer? I don't. In this video, I take you through a chaotic "Day in the Life" while my husband and my dad (my secret weapons) are both away. From the 6:00 AM wake-up battles with my son to eating fast food because there's no time to cook veggies—this is what "survival mode" actually looks like. I share this not to show you how efficient I am, but to show you that it’s okay to not be perfect. It’s okay if your only goal today is just "don't fall." ✨ This video is for you if you’ve ever felt: * Guilty because you fed your kids fast food just to survive the day. * Overwhelmed by the pressure to "balance" motherhood and a career. * Exhausted from waking up your kids 6 times just to get them to school. * Ready to stop judging yourself and start asking for help.
