I called up Joe and asked him to go to this Real Estate Investing event that Armando Montelongo from Flip This House San Antonio was going to be at. Joe was like "Armando who??" Joe at the time had really no idea who Armando was like some of you didn't either. Needless to say my buddy Joe made it to the meeting despite the crazy rain that was coming down that night.
We listened to the countless reasons why now was the time to invest in Real Estate from the several mentors speaking at the event. Honestly I did not have to be convinced I already knew investing in real estate was the best way to build wealth but I just didn't know how. I could see the look on Joe's face as the information was being layed out. Joe had already done a flip and ran into a lot of issues in the process. He didn't make as much money as he expected and was already thinking about not investing anymore. But I could tell he was getting excited about investing once again.
Armando Montelongo started to share his story about coming from living in his in-laws garage in California to being the #1 Flipper In The Nation. His story was not only inspirational but gave us great hope. Armando shared how he developed systems to flip houses and he was going to show us these systems if we decided to be mentored by him and his mentors. When the time came to make the decision I turned to Joe and said "Are you ready to do this?" as I stood up and headed to the back table to sign up. Joe was in shock and followed behind me. Everything seemed to be perfect timing. My wife and I just paid off all our credit card debt so we just happened to have the credit available to pay for the mentorship program and the Armando Montelongo VIP Bus Tour. I charged it up with out calling the wife because I knew she just might say no if I asked.
We did it! Joe and I had no idea what we got ourselves into. We didn't know where this decision was going to take us but we knew we had to do it. Everything happened so fast from that point of decision. We had a mentor come to Houston and taught us so much about investing in real estate and how to run your business. Then after are mentorship Joe and I took the tour of a lifetime. We went on the Armando Montelongo VIP Bus Tour. We went on the very first Bus Tour and there was about 40 people. Armando taught us how to assess properties and create flipping systems. He changed our destiny in the course of 3 days. We had a mind shift that changed absolutely everything.
We purchased two properties in Southern California. The very first property Armando Montelongo showed us on the Bus Tour was our first property that we purchased and flipped out of state. We used everything Armando taught us and put it into action. We were able to flip two houses all the way in SoCal from Houston TX. We used the systems that Armando taught us and just as he said we were able to successfully flip houses from another state. Check out the video and you will see our first California flip. Our first flip is the light blue house that Armando Montelongo is standing in front of and teaching students how to properly assess properties and write out contractor bids.
