Up until recently, real estate investing was only an option for the top 1% income earner - meaning the average Joe investor had to overcome a steep price tag to cross the barrier of entry into real estate investing.
Those days are now officially over.
My guest on the show is Craig Cecilia, real estate investor, expert crowdfunder, and founder of Diversyfund.
I asked Craig to come on the show to discuss how crowdfunding works, why it’s so accessible for everyone, and how technology is making it even more affordable for the everyday investor.
During our interview, Craig and I discuss...

Pam Andrews is a College Admissions Coach and Scholarship Strategist, but more importantly she helped her son earn over $700,000 in scholarship money to pay for both undergraduate and graduate school!
This is $700,000 in money that her son WILL NOT have to pay back in the form of student loans.
How did she do it? This is exactly why I asked Pam to come on the show. As a parent of two kids and the 5% inflation rate for college tuition, I needed to know EXACTLY how her son was able to get that kind of money to put towards the undergrad and the graduate college of his choice.
During our interview, she shares…

You have probably seen the numerous different sites offering to get you out of your timeshare, right?
The first rule is this: if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is too good to be true.
Which is why I interviewed timeshare exit expert, Gordon Newton, to explain how these timeshare exit scams work and what you need to be aware of.
Some of the topics Gordon and I touch on:
• Why timeshares are so hard to get out of
• How to avoid high-pressure selling from timeshare companies
• How can timeshare-exit companies really offer money-back guarantee?
• How the “guarantee” actually costs you more money in the long run
• What happens when sign the dotted line
Gordon is also giving away his free 16 page guide called “The Consumer's Guide to TimeShare Exit” which is an incredible resource for anyone who owns a timeshare!

Financial planning shouldn’t just be for the uber wealthy.
Chris Hutchins is coming on the show to talk about the problem we are beginning to face when it comes to getting professional financial planning advice: the cost.
A financial plan takes time to complete and that time costs $2,500 on average...and all that gets you is a one-time plan.
In addition, our lives have changed over the past few decades and fewer people are working a 30-year career, retiring with a pension, and then living happily ever after.
Instead, what you see today is a constant move in careers, changes in life plans, moving all over the country/world, and countless other changes that are much different than what was once the norm.
And each time you make a life change, is it fair to have to spend $2,500 to adjust your plan with a financial planner?
Heck no!
Basically there are three different ways to get professional financial wealth building advice:
1. Meeting with a financial advisor (Expensive and individualized)
2. 100% robo-advisor (Cheap and cookie-cutter)
3. Hybrid approach (A mixture of both)
During the interview, Chris and I talk about:
• When the cookie-cutter approach to personal finance is actually a better plan
• The problem when you try to apply only a robo-advisor to life and money
• What life looks life for today’s investor
• The challenges that people will face in the future in terms of investing
• How to create an affordable plan fitting your lifestyle now and in the future
