From “medical-lab tech with no free time” to leading 150+ flips, new-construction builds, and a rental portfolio—all while raising two teen investors. Marizol Mendez breaks down the mind-shifts, missteps, and family systems that turned a library copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad into generational wealth and community impact.👤 Guest BioMarizol Mendez immigrated from a rural Mexican village to the U.S. at age 12. After years in a 9-to-5 lab, the lack of time and financial freedom pushed her and her husband, Omar, into real estate. Eleven years later they’ve executed 150+ renovations, new-builds, and small-multifamily projects and now hold a growing rental portfolio. Marizol’s mission: build wealth with family, bless neighborhoods, and model possibility for other immigrants.🔑 Key Insights💡 Time freedom is the real goal—money without schedule control still feels like a cage💡 A single book can re-write an immigrant money playbook💡 Celebrate the first deal—even if profit is $0; lessons > winnings💡 Teenagers can close flips: Marizol’s daughter negotiated her own at 15💡 Flipping funds the cash; rentals & small multifamily build wealth💡 “No deal” beats a bad deal—patience protects energy & capital💡 Local investing keeps control & quality high💡 Funding triangle: private money + hard money + own capital fuels scale🕒 Timestamps01:15 - Ditching W-2 Life for Real Estate Freedom03:27 - Rich Dad Moment → First Auction Deal05:04 - Flipping Sight-Unseen During Church09:07 - Turning Teens Into Deal-Finders14:47 - Why Rentals Beat High-Paid Flips17:25 - Mail, Math & Surviving High Rates19:12 - Self-Kindness = World Impact20:24 - Giving Back Through 7 Figure Foundation🤝 Connect With Our GuestMarizol MendezFacebook: https://facebook.com/marizol.mendez.94📚 FrameworkRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosakihttps://links.theimmiwealthbuilder.com/rich-dad-poor-dadA game-changing book on wealth, mindset, and financial freedom through investing💛 Charity Spotlight7 Figure FoundationBuilding safe homes for families living in extreme poverty, giving them security, dignity, and hopehttps://www.7figurefoundation.com/👋 Connect With MeGiang NguyenMultifamily InvestorCommercial Mortgage BrokerFounder of One River CapitalWebsite: https://onerivercapital.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/thatsalsainvestorFacebook: https://facebook.com/thatsalsainvestorFREE Discovery Call: https://links.onerivercapital.com/lets-connectFREE Guide: https://links.onerivercapital.com/multifamily-syndication-guide⭐ Enjoyed this episode? 💬 Send it to a friend. 🌟 Leave a review. ✅ Subscribe for more immigrant stories & wealth strategies.
