737. How Armando Olivares went from Pizza Shop Manager to $600K with Wholetailing


Armando Olivares Espinoza was born in Lima, Peru and immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager and appears to have brought some of that Inka Gold with him. Everything he does results in high numbers.   
 
While he was still in high school, Armando started working up the leadership ladder at a local Pizza place.He took an active interest in the business and after months of hard work, found himself to be the youngest store manager at the age of 18.
 
Soon after, he got into the banking industry at a local bank.  He worked his way up from bank teller, to loan officer and was nationally recognized in a ceremony at National Stadium for high sales.  His success there brought him the opportunity to be a bank branch manager with one of the top 4 “big banks” in the country.  In less than one year, he took a branch that was losing money every month, up to being among the top 5 branches nation-wide and was recognized frequently at the national level for being a high achiever.  As branch manager he was able to develop important relationships with business owners and investors and those critical relationships have proven invaluable in the real estate business.
 
The process of becoming a master at what you do requires an ample amount of self-development.  After reading many books about wealth building, he decided to make the leap and Homes4Dinero was born in November, 2019.  In just 6 months, Armando has closed 26 very lucrative deals.

732. Podcast Using Intuitive Investing and Empowered Education to Create the life of your Dreams


Lisa Hylton is a real estate investor, syndicator and a CPA with approximately 15 years of experience in the financial services industry. Lisa started out with a Big 4 accounting firm auditing billion dollar funds across private equity, venture capital, mutual and hedge funds in the Cayman Islands, Boston and then Los Angeles. Lisa currently works as a controller on private equity real estate funds while investing passively and actively in primarily commercial real estate investments such as large multifamily apartment buildings.

Lisa’s first exposure to real estate started with a 2bed 2 bath townhouse in the Cayman Islands that she bought in her early 20s. This first investment taught Lisa many lessons, the primary ones being the importance of investing for cash flow and how to run the numbers on a property to assess whether it will be an investment with a high likelihood of cash flowing. Fast forward 10 plus years, Lisa’s preferred way to invest in real estate is through passive and active syndications. To date Lisa has invested in 2 syndications as a limited partner totaling 850 units in the Atlanta MSA and one sub-syndication raising 500K with my team of fellow Real Estate Investor Goddesses.

Lisa is also the host of the Level Up REI podcast which has a variety of series such as exploring all the ways people can invest in real estate on Tuesdays and exploring investing passively in syndications on Thursdays to be added in April 2020.

Originally from the Cayman Islands, Lisa currently resides in Los Angeles and enjoys dancing argentine tango, paddle boarding, yoga, hiking, reggae and soca music and traveling.
