  • Exiting The Matrix: Stories of a Corporate America Drop Out
    Ep 12 - Do you want to get out of the matrix?   In this episode of the Share the Wealth Show, Jerome Myers looks back at the pivotal moment that made him decide to drop out of corporate America and take his agency back through real estate. He breaks down how he overcame the obstacles he faced starting out in multifamily and gaining success. He also shares his honest thoughts about not letting things that you can’t change hinder you from reaching your dreams.   Jerome Myers (a/k/a "J") is a developer of people and places. He is the founder and Chief Inspiration Officer of two ventures. DreamCatchers is a boutique coaching firm that supports first and second-generation wealth creators to self-actualize and attain transcendence, and The Myers Development Group, where we help ordinary people invest in multifamily real estate in a way that creates generational wealth. Through these entities, he gets to live out his childhood dreams of helping people manifest the things they imagine and he is the evidence that dreams should be real.   Since leaving corporate America after building a 20MM division, J has become one of the most sought-after thought leaders in the multifamily development space. His company, The Myers Development Group, built a multi-million-dollar portfolio following the principles of Myers Methods. Although he's often told that he makes investing look easy, the people closest to him know the road wasn't without challenges. So, he created Myers Methods, a real estate education company, to dispel many of the myths related to the industry and educate investors on his 4-step process to owning and operating apartments.   ________________________________ FREE Discovery call for The Microfamily Investing Accelerator  https://calendly.com/noirvest/microfamilymavericks    ________________________________ [00:01 - 19:28] Who is Jerome Myers?

  • Debt Is a Tool - Leverage Is Key To Wealth Creation
    Ep 11 - Did you know that you can leverage your credit to invest in business assets?   In this episode of the Share the Wealth, Dalle Garcia reflects on being fascinated by how money works at a young age. This led her to seek knowledge and build networks to reach her financial goals. She learned to use credit and authorized user accounts to her advantage. By using debt smartly, she’s able to find the resources to jump into the investing space.   Dalle Garcia was born and raised in the Bronx, New York City. Her first job out of school was at a real estate law firm in White Plains, New York. There she learned the art of real estate and it was the best thing that ever happened. Soon thereafter, she was mortgage brokering and helping homeowners get financing. Reviewing credit has been something she learned very early due to home loan financing. Getting a real estate license while serving loans was a no-brainer. Things changed really fast in 2008. Surviving the last recession had geared her into having financial setbacks and had to work on her own personal credit.

    “When you are engaging with your operator, and you're talking to a syndicator. If they cannot or do not answer your questions in the way that makes sense for you, then it's okay. It's just not the right fit. I mean there's a lot of people that are out providing a very similar service.
