How a 20-Year-Old Built Wealth to Retire His Mom | Christina Suter x Michael Rebelo
In this powerful episode of The Real Estate Breakthrough Show, host Christina Sudter sits down with 20-year-old entrepreneur Michael Rebello. Michael shares his incredible "why", a deeply personal mission to retire his mom from her W2 job, and how it fuels his journey in multifamily real estate. Rejecting the traditional college path, he chose mentorship and immersion in real estate instead. Christina and Michael dive into: - How a clear "why" gives you the strength to face any downturn. - The moment Michael and his mom realized the traditional financial system wasn't working for them. - How they built a balanced, successful partnership (he's the visionary, she's the pragmatic leash). - Their rapid traction: going from zero to co-GPing on over 200 units in their first year. - Michael's bold advice for young people: why college isn't the only path and how to build your own "education" through mentorships, courses, and networks. This is a raw, inspiring conversation about family, financial literacy, grit, and creating your own blueprint for success. Whether you're new to investing or a seasoned pro, Michael's story will remind you of the power of purpose and partnership.

HOW to Raise Capital Legally: Syndication Lawyer Reveals Joint Venture vs. 506(b) Rules Most Investors Miss | Christina Suter x Mauricio Rauld
Ever wondered when a “joint venture” becomes a syndication? Or how to raise capital without a broker-dealer license? In this episode of the Real Estate Breakthrough Show, host Christina Suter sits down with syndication attorney Mauricio Raul, a 26-year legal expert who built and sold a multi-seven-figure law firm dedicated to real estate syndications. Mauricio opens up about his journey from big-law litigation to financial freedom after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, and how he now coaches new syndicators through the “syndicator blind spot”, the dangerous gap between having an idea and hiring a lawyer. 📌 YOU’LL LEARN: The legal difference between a Joint Venture and a Syndication (and why most “JVs” are actually unregistered securities). What the Howey Test is and how to avoid accidentally selling a “security.” The 3-part Issuer Exemption that lets you raise capital without a broker-dealer license (and why most capital raisers fail all three). 506(b) vs. 506(c) offerings explained: advertising, accredited vs. non-accredited investors, and pre-existing relationship rules. The #1 mistake new syndicators make with pitch decks, social media, and investor communications before they hire a lawyer. How Mauricio’s unique weekly coaching program fills the “blind spot” with affordable, on-call legal guidance. Exclusive teaser: Mauricio’s upcoming book with a foreword by Robert Kiyosaki. 🔗 CONNECT WITH MAURICIO: Join his weekly coaching call: Follow him on LinkedIn: Mauricio Raul 📚 RESOURCES FROM CHRISTINA: Follow @realchristinasuter Visit: #RealEstateSyndication #JointVenture #506b #506c #RaisingCapital #SyndicationLawyer #RealEstateInvesting #PassiveInvestors

What if you could earn more consistent income with fewer vacancies and less hassle than traditional Airbnb rentals? In this episode of Real Estate Breakthrough, host Christina Sudter breaks down exactly why midterm rentals (stays of 1-6 months) are booming and how you can leverage this trend. Christina shares her direct, real-world experience running a duplex with both a short-term and a midterm rental unit side-by-side. She reveals the compelling numbers, operational advantages, and the shifting lifestyle trend, digital nomadism, that’s fueling this opportunity. You’ll Learn: The Demand Driver: Why the rise of location-independent professionals is creating a massive market for furnished, medium-term stays. Cash Flow Comparison: A clear breakdown of income consistency (midterm) vs. potential peak income (short-term) and why stability often wins.

In this episode of Real Estate Breakthrough, Christina Suter sits down with visionary and spiritual advisor Glenn Ambrose to explore the creation of Mountain Ridge Sanctuary, a spiritually-minded, off-grid community in the Dominican Republic.

How Triple Net Investing Turned Passion into Passive Income | Christina Suter x Joel Owens
Chasing the biggest paycheck leads to burnout — here’s a smarter path. In this episode of Real Estate Breakthrough, Christina Suter sits down with Joel Owens to reveal how Triple Net Investing can turn passion into true passive income. Triple Net Investing isn’t a quick win — it’s designed to be steady, low-drama, and profitable over the long run. Joel shares why credit quality and “dirt first” (location) matter most, how lease terms shift risk, and the biggest traps new buyers fall into — from inflated rents to weak tenants. He also explains how to choose a career and investments that actually last: list your top four passions, research the markets behind them, and focus where passion meets demand. The same mindset applies to building a resilient portfolio: disciplined underwriting, conservative debt, and buying at or below market to keep cash flow steady even if a tenant leaves. Whether you’re mapping your career or your next deal, the takeaway is clear: passion + demand beats pay-chasing every time. If you want mailbox money without the hype, this episode gives you the mental model and checklist to invest with confidence.
