  • Million-Dollar Mindset: How Energy & Action Attract Lucrative Deals
    Mar 11 2025

    On today’s episode, Dawn Maynor, of Manifest More with Dawn is sharing with us exactly how she manifested her dream home using a variety of modalities that she’s learned and now uses in her coaching business. . Dawn is a manifestation coach and she’s walking us through steps that everyone can take to manifest the life of their dreams. These same principles can be used to manifest a lucrative real estate investment portfolio with ease. As an added bonus we’ll hear how Dawn’s teenage son started his real estate investment portfolio before graduating from high school.

    Here are the top takeaways from today’s show:

    1. Manifestation is Happening All the Time – Whether you're aware of it or not, you are always manifesting.
    2. Feelings Drive Results, Not Just Vision Boards – Many people create vision boards but don’t see results because they focus on the object (like a house) rather than the feeling they want to experience. Real estate investors can apply this by tuning into the lifestyle they desire, not just the properties they want to acquire.
    3. Gratitude Unlocks Abundance – Dawn’s practice of expressing gratitude for her current home—even while desiring a new one—helped her attract something even better
    4. Inner Alignment Leads to Outer Success – The distinction between manifesting from the “inner self” versus the “outer self” is crucial. Investors who align their investments with their deeper purpose and intuition, rather than external pressures or market noise, will make better, more aligned financial decisions.
    5. Inspired Action Supports Manifestation – Manifestation isn’t just about thinking and visualizing—it requires action. Dawn didn’t just wish for a house; she rode her bike through neighborhoods, explored options, and stayed open to possibilities.
    6. Trusting the Process and Allowing Expansion – Some manifestations arrive in unexpected ways or turn out even better than originally imagined. Dawn’s paddleboarding experience and her dream home came to her in ways she didn’t plan. Investors should remain open to new opportunities that might look different than expected but ultimately align with their vision.
    7. Legacy Wealth & Intentional Real Estate Investing – Dawn’s son’s strategic decision to join the National Guard in exchange for tuition coverage and real estate investment highlights the power of generational wealth-building. This is a key message for real estate investors looking to create long-term financial freedom and teach their families to think beyond traditional financial paths.

  • Does Hard Money Make Real Estate Investing Easy?
    Feb 25 2025

    On today's episode, Melissa Appleton talks about hard money and private money lending and how both can be valuable tools for real estate investing. Melissa is a certified Hard money broker and funding expert with DeBerry Funding. She also has a passion for real estate investing, specializing in creative solutions for fix and flips, mid -term rentals and ADU conversions. Melissa is dedicated to empowering investors with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.

    Here are the key takeaways from today's episode:

    1) Hard money is a tool, not a last resort-

    Many investors misunderstnd hard money, assuming it's risky or predatory. In reality, it's a tool that allows investors to act quickly, scale their portfolio, and preserve liquidity for future deals. Knowing how to structure deals correctly makes hard money a pwerful advantage, not a burden.

    2. Financial Freedom requires a mindset shift

    Owning a home doesn't make you a real estate investor. The shift from traditional homeownership to strategic investing-through rentals, value-add projects and leveraging financing-is the key to building generational wealth.

    3. Women are stepping into real estate investing more than ever.

    Women are increasingly taking control of their financial futures in real estate. However, the space has historically been male-dominated, making supportive communitied like Women's REIO invaluable for networking, education, and confidence-building.

    4. Leveraging Other People's Money (OPM) is essential

    Investors don't need all of their own capital to scale. Hard money, private money lending, HELOCs, DSCR loans, and seller financing allow investors to grow faster and smarter while keeping their own reserves intact.

    5. Realtors need to Understand Investment Financing

    Many agents don't fully grasp hard money, creative financing, or investment strategies, which means they miss opportunities to serve investor clients. Agents who educate themselves can package better deals and close more transactions.

    6. Networking & Mentorship are Critical for Success

    Successful investors don't go it alone. Attending local meetups, building relationships with lenders, wholesalers, and other investors opens doors to off-market deals, partnerships, and funding solutions.

    7. Creative Strategies like padsplit and Mideterm Rentals increase Cash flow.

    Traditional long-term rentals often don't pencil out in expensive markets. Alternative strategies like padsplit, ADU conversions, and midterm rentals offer ways to maximize rental income and adapt to changing markets.

    8. Education & Action Reduce Fear and Hesitation

    New Investors often hesitate due to lack of knowledge or fear of making mistakes. However, the best way to succeed is to educate yourself, connect with experienced investors, and take action-even on a small scale.

    Whether you're just getting started or you're looking to make your next move as a real estate investor, I'm rolling out a membership community called the Soulful Investor society (S.I.S) Hop on the waitlist here and you'll be the first to know all of the juicy details, including bonuses and special pricing.
