Military Spouse to Millionaire
Welcome to the 20th episode of Military Spouse to Millionaire! This episode is for all of my sellers or future sellers out there! The reality of the Hawaii market has vastly changed from 2021 to today; these two markets are not the same. People who bought in 2021, where homes were selling like hotcakes, are now having to face a very different market. Even though homes are still selling and sellers are still making a profit from selling, the market has shifted and it’s not like it was in 2021. Fortunately for you, I will always be here to be a reliable point of information and help manage...

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast, this episode we’re dialing in on your first thirty days on island while in temporary lodging (TLA). One of the biggest concerns I hear from incoming military families is that they don’t think their TLA time will be long enough to find a home they love. Is a month really enough time to find a home in Hawaii?! After 8 years of working with military families, I’ve curated the Finding Home Method, the perfect strategy for navigating island arrival to finding your new home all within your TLA period. If you’re pcsing to Hawaii soon, you...

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast! I titled this episode ‘Not Your Grandma’s Real Estate Market’ because so many people will be quick to think that the homes in Hawaii are out of their budget or too expensive when in reality the price tag doesn’t actually matter. I know it’s a bit controversial saying that a high price tag doesn’t matter. But the truth is that just because a home is more expensive here than on the mainland or maybe even of a home you’ve purchased before, doesn’t mean that it’s not within your BAH or military entitlements. The main...

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast episode 14, today we are talking about making fear based decisions. I really wanted to talk about this topic because it does play such a huge role in decision making when it comes to real estate investing or home buying in general. Whether you’re a first time homebuyer or a seasoned homebuyer, fear can play a role and keep you from making that leap into actually purchasing a home. I’m going to discuss my own personal journey and a real estate transaction that I’m currently in that honestly has me fearful. But just because I am scared...

Welcome to the Military Spouse to Millionaire podcast episode 13, wow we’ve come a long way! I was recently sent a screenshot by a former client from a Facebook Spouses page, bringing up the issue of on post housing and how they are taking all of your money even during pay raises or BAH increases. She even thanked me for helping her family buy a home instead of living on post. It prompted me to create this episode and talk more about this issue more in depth. On this episode, I dive into why giving on post housing your tax free BAH is an absolute scam and waste of money. Did you know...

Welcome to Military Spouse to Millionaire Episode 11, as you can tell from the title of this episode we will be chatting all about buyer etiquette! There are some things that buyers, and consumers in general, just from a simple lack of not knowing what is going on behind the scenes in just about any industry. That’s where I step in, to help educate you on how you can better prepare for house hunting and being a home buyer in general! We also dive into a recent event that left me absolutely speechless, even after 7 years in the real estate industry. The out-of-pocket behavior that I...
info_outlineWelcome to Military Spouse to Millionaire Episode 10, this episode I vent about the recent events that have been happening in an effort to try to make home buying the more difficult option when service members are pcsing to Hawaii. The absolute gull that on post housing and military superiors have for trying to reduce or take away benefits from service members and their families completely blows my mind. I tell you about the experiences I’ve had lately with on post housing “authorities” and their attempt to retaliate by forcing me, a real estate professional, to amend legal binding documents to appease their rules. I also get into how military superiors are blatantly reducing TLA to leave service members to feel they have no other option than to give their BAH to crappy base housing is absolutely infuriating and wrong… so let’s get into it!

FUN FACT!! There are over 20 million MILLIONAIRES in the United States. 90% of them have made their fortune through real estate. ANOTHER FUN FACT...less than 1% of the US population gets guaranteed TAX FREE money for housing (BAH) AND the ability to buy a home with no money down. If you and your family are part of this 1% this podcast is for you! If you think that a 20 year retirement and disability is going to set you up for life after the military in a comfortable way. you would be sadly mistaken. That's why you need to leverage your active duty time and think about your family's financial future. STOP using your BAH and other entitlements to pay for someone else's lifestyle (renting) or WORSE giving it all back to the government (on post housing). You can't afford to keep your head in the sand and let the fear mongers run the show. Look up...look around...90% of the wealthy Americans make their money one way...real estate! So unless you are about to get a record deal and be the next Beyonce or drafted into the NFL to be the next Tom Brady you better listen up, get educated and start investing in YOURSELF! Why am I coming at you guns blazing about this topic? Because, 15 years ago my husband and I were YOU! We were squarely middle class...a normal hardworking military family with 2 kids and we had a good life just like you might now. But buying our first home in 2009 changed EVERYTHING and put us on the path to now being millionaires. We are not special guys...neither me nor my husband came from wealthy families. We just looked around at what works for 90% of wealthy people and did the same. Now, we are here to help you!
