From Fireman to Fixer: Jacob's Journey in Albuquerque

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative. In this episode, Molly chats with Jacob Tapia, a fireman transitioning to a full-time real estate investor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jacob shares his experiences and lessons learned from a challenging real estate deal that almost went south. With a mix of humor and sincerity, Jacob shows how community support and smart advice helped him turn a tricky situation into a learning opportunity. Join us in this talk mixing real estate wisdom with personal growth stories.   Highlights:   "Once you get your first deal done, it's going to help out... It's proof of concept."   "It was nice to have the mentors come in and be like, 'That's not how you should go about it.' So I had to go eat crow."   "By being capitalists, we get to actually help people and stand in the gap where normal banks wouldn't."   Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Jacob Tapia 01:36 - Jacob's Transition from Fireman to Real Estate 04:19 - Valuable Mentorship and Rejecting a Bad Deal 06:48 - Lessons from the Deal: Listen to Your Wife! 09:16 - Resolving the Deal and Helping a Family 12:01 - Promotional Segment for Sub Two Students 14:47 - The Impact of Community and Investor Ethics 18:37 - Jacob Shares Advice for New Investors 23:59 - Learning from Mistakes with Title Companies 25:47 - Jacob's Goals and Future in Real Estate   Join my SubTo Mentorship: https://subto.sjv.io/Kj56xe   Join Our Free Facebook Group: https://paceapproves.com/fbg-pod
