  • AREI 38: Bringing Your Future Into the Present with Josh Ferrari

    I'm Joshua Ferrari. Growing up not knowing anything about finances or investing, I always thought I was just going to work until I was 65, retire on a farm out in the country, and travel with my wife to see the world. I had no background in financial education and I seriously hated school. Yet, when I read that famous book titled “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki, my eyes got big, my mind opened wide and I began diving into the idea of wealth creation. Then I found real estate. I specialize in raising private capital, locating, negotiating, & acquiring value-add multifamily assets, & teaching others how to follow in my footsteps. My journey started 2 and a half years ago when I bought my first multifamily property and the experience throughout that journey has given me the needed expertise in managing contractors, subcontractors, and materials for multi-unit rehabilitations. Being a licensed Aircraft Technician for the last 3 years, I acquired attention to detail which allows me to expertly run these types of assets. Managing other people’s money as a financial coach positions me to be a high-class asset manager & financial investor. I currently have over $13MM AUM which equates to 239 units in my portfolio. I’m happily married to my wife, Alicia for over three years. We have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Pecan. I’m an active member in my local church where I serve as the drummer on the worship team, and I teach investing and finances to local entrepreneurs wanting to get started in the space.

    Tweetable Quotes:

    “Go take some action. Figure out what it is that you need as your backup plan in terms of whether that's a type of career or the amount of money you need. Go figure that out, put some time and thought into it because it's really important. You don't want to be in a position where you're stuck.” - Roschelle McCoy

    “Even if you're in a position with your family, your careers, and where you are finance-wise, it's so good to instill those lessons in kids, that money doesn't grow on trees. It just doesn't flow freely. It has to come from somewhere. It has to be earned, and you have to work hard for it.” - Roschelle McCoy
