Parts of living the dreams
Hello Cashflow Hackers,
Welcome to my little newsletter corner where I share my free flow thoughts in life and business.
My goal is to help people to understand and use commercial real estate as a way to get to financial freedom.
If anyone you know interested in commercial real estate and want to learn how to get into it, I’m happy to connect or point them to the right direction to start! Schedule a time with me HERE.
New Deal
I’m happy to announce that my partners and I are under contract for a 16 unit townhomes in Cleburne Texas (1h away from where I live). 😄
We’re buying at a $84k per unit price point for 2bed 1.5 bath townhome currently renting out for $900 each. Tenants are mostly month to month now so we plan to increase the rent to market rent at $1300 and if tenants decide to leave, we will rehab the unit and push the rent up even more.
I believe if we do a premium rehab we can pull in $1500 per unit. 🥳
I’ll be the owner on this deal so I have full control of the deal and there will be limited spots for investors to jump onto this deal. 🚀
This deal reminds me of the deal I sold in 2021. It’s a no-brainer kinda deal.

Living the dreams
Many times, I realize that I am living the life I wanted many years ago. Do you?
I wanted to build my own little empire instead of working for someone else. I wanted to have my mom and sister living near by, wanted to have time to spend for my kid whenever I have kid and most of all wanted to have a wonderful supported partner.
Back then I was divorced, working for an abusive company on which my visa in the US entirely depends. 😳
I would wake up at 6am, drove to work everyday for about 1h15’ one way. I would come back to Manhatan at 8pm and swing by my little restaurant while people are cleaning up to check on the restaurant. My day would end around 12am to wake up at 6am again. 😅
Today I have almost 3 days a week free to do what I want and spend on family stuffs which makes me feel whole and happy. 🥰
My son recently has a hard time being 2 years old, he has big transition out of the crib, crying not wanting to sleep there but to just sleep with mommy and daddy. We finally decided to co-sleep after several experiments and I found out that he’s just happier being with us on the same bed. 😁
He also showed his addiction to TV screens and iPad by waking up in the middle of the night asking for those. So now I get to wean him out of screen, which means I have to eliminate a lot of our family screen. It’s going to be a project but again I get to do this!! 😇
Anyone successfully wean their kids out of screens, please email me back and give me some tips!!

Longevity and health stuffs
Would you want to extend your stay on Earth if you can? I do. I think life is just getting better and better and I really enjoyed the companies I have right now. 😍
I also found the American health system or any health system we have right now is just to re-act to illness instead of prevention of illness.
This year I want to dive deeper into that and take responsibility for my health and my family health.
I was having a cold last week so it was time to rest, reflect and take some action on wellness. I was researching MRI scan vs CT scan for preventive. I’m considering doing this scan soon. Would you pay $2500 to learn about your whole body? 🤓 The scan will detect solid tumor as small as 1.5 cm anywhere your body with a comprehensive scan of the spine and also the brain.
I’m also scheduled for a hormone diagnosis test with Lifeforce and might schedule myself for this cancer screening test soon.
I’m also excited to try products from the Blueprint project from Bryan Johnson. These are all supplements and food that were researched extensively by his team for 3 years. Check out his amazing journey if you haven’t on Youtube!
Cheers to all of you beautiful people who read to here. I love you all!
