460: From Sleeping on a Couch to Owning 20 Units (in 2 Years!) with Robert Charles & Ayoka Moss

<p>If you’re listening to the BiggerPockets podcast, you know that the only way to reach financial success is to climb the corporate ladder, right? Nope! Yet, <strong>many people still believe that the only way for them to get rich is by going above and beyond for a job</strong>, only to be let go when the company is sold or merged. This is exactly what <strong>Ayoka Moss and Robert Charles</strong> thought, until they were <strong>put in a situation where entrepreneurialism and real estate was the only option</strong>.</p><p>Ayoka had serious drive, especially after reading <a href="http://biggerpockets.com/richdadpoordad" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Rich Dad Poor Dad</em></a> (a favorite of the BP community). Robert, on the other hand, was working as hard as he could, selling cars, breaking sales records, but once <strong>he was let go due to his company being bought out</strong>, he had open ears for Ayoka’s proposal. Ayoka and Robert <strong>decided to start wholesaling real estate</strong>, and had <strong>6 failed deals</strong> before they finally found themselves making a profit. Once the money came in, they knew they had to do whatever it takes to reach success in real estate.</p><p>Now, only a couple years later, Ayoka and Robert are <strong>living rent free, with 20 units, and 35 deals done</strong>! That’s some serious change when compared to their old W2 lifestyles. Ayoka and Robert go through how they <strong>got deals done, </strong><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/how-i-found-my-mentor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>found mentors</strong></a>, and most importantly, <strong>changed mindsets to tackle what really matters.</strong></p><p>In This Episode We Cover:</p><ul><li>How <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/ultimate-beginners-guide-real-estate-wholesaling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>real estate wholesaling</strong></a> works</li><li>Why the<strong> corporate lifestyle</strong> doesn’t last forever for most
