    • 014 - Heart of a Nomad - BD Dweik

      BD Dweik

      Have you ever heard of group real estate investing?

      I co-founded Blue Flagship Investors to give busy professionals access to a variety of vetted, cash-flowing real estate investing opportunities they could use to protect themselves from economic turbulence while building long-term wealth where I invest right beside you.

      Why?
      After accidentally becoming a landlord at the age of 20 when I owned my first house and rented out rooms, I always knew there was a place for me in real estate.

      I worked in Tech for 24+ years while passively investing on the side and then it hit me.

      So I asked myself:
      How could I leverage real estate investing to help people like me access top deals, reduce risks and increase returns?

      The answer was through starting a real estate fund.

      I was already placing my capital as a passive investor and in return for placing my capital there, I received passive income each month, tax write offs and a lot of the other perks of real estate investing you might have heard of.

      Going on that journey inspired me to create Blue Flagship Investors where we vet and curate top opportunities while partnering with people to meet their unique goals.

      • 012 - If you go out every weekend to the club spending $500 you have the money to invest - Yasmeen Elaywan
        Yasmeen Elaywan
        I originally started working in the pharmaceutical field after majoring in biomedical engineering. I realized the moment that I started my job that a lot of my coworkers at retirement age weren't retired. When I began to ask why the answer was always that they couldn't afford to retire. I thought to myself that if a 401k and social security still wasn't enough for the average person, it wouldn't be enough for me or anyone in my generation. I set off to do some research on other ways to grow my money so that I could afford to retire.
        I began to read one investment book after another. Funny enough a few months later I met a woman who would become my mentor. It started with her and I talking about what it's like to be a woman in the workplace and then she began talking about what it's like to be a female entrepreneur. As the conversation progressed I realized she was a financial advisor with her own business. She helped me open up investment accounts that a person my age straight out of college would not likely know about. I realized that people nowadays need this kind of access to information more than ever - especially now that housing and college expenses are over the roof and most people are in debt and financially behind. So I set off to start my own business and make financial education accessible to those who really need it - the average American person.

        • 008 - 60 hours a week in corporate America. My reward? A $20,000 a year pay cut - Steve Davis

          Steve Davis - For over 6 years I worked 60 hours a week in corporate America. My reward? A $20,000 a year pay cut at 27. This woke me up. I quit my job and started investing in real estate. This has allowed me to spend more time with my family and lead a more balanced life. I now teach others how to use real estate to do the same thing. My mission is to educate, motivate and empower others so that they don’t suffer with the same fears and insecurities about money that I did.
