After losing her parents at a young age, she was taken in by relatives who forced her to sleep on a dirt floor and treated her like a constant burden. Fast forward to 2024, Yamundow has over one hundred rental units and makes hundreds of thousands of dollars (if not millions) in passive income yearly. She STILL works a W2 while running her real estate portfolio. If she could do it, you can, too. If you missed Yamundow’s first episode, we highly recommend listening to it after this one. She goes into great detail on her troubling upbringing, moving to the US, and buying her first real estate deal. Now, she’s gone bigger…much bigger—scaling from thirty-two units to over 150 rental units in just over a year. And she’s not just in residential real estate anymore. Yamundow discusses the deals she’s bought, the hellish renovation project she went through, and her newest commercial real estate asset—a cash-flowing self-storage facility that takes just thirty minutes a week to manage! Yamundow is the epitome of “rags to riches.” We guarantee you’ll be inspired to invest after you hear this one! 00:00 Intro 01:22 Sleeping on Dirt Floors After Losing Everything 04:55 32 Units While Working a W2! 09:15 Inspiring Others to Invest 10:27 A Hellish 12-Unit Renovation 15:27 Financing and Working with Contractors 18:13 BIG Section 8 Cash Flow 20:54 Getting into Self Storage Investments 25:36 Supporting Her Family 29:58 What's Next?
