SPEAKER_00 0:00

Welcome to another episode of the Co-Living Investing Podcast. I am your host, Ashley Jeffers, and I am super excited for this episode this evening. I have my friend Nasser El Arabi on the show. Welcome to the show, Nas.

SPEAKER_01 0:15

What's going on?

SPEAKER_00 0:15

Yeah, man. This has been a long time coming because Nasser is, I'm sure, someone that you recognize from these internet streets for a very long time. He has been on YouTube and on social media, teaching others be giving freely knowledge on how to invest in real estate. So this is going to be a special interview for me because I've learned so much from him and I've had the privilege and the honor of making money with him too. So we're going to hop right in, Nah. So I know the origin story. I know most of my audience recognizes you and knows the origin story. So we're not going to start there like other interviews. Where we're going to start is what real estate investing has done for you. Because this is what I know about you. You are not a flashy guy. You never got into getting on the internet and driving the Lambeau or the Ferrari or the, you know, driving the flashy cars, you know, flashing the Rolex watches and all this kind of stuff. You're just not that type of, not that type of guy. So I gotta know if you're not buying watches and fancy cars and you know, buying the PJ and flying all over the world, what has real estate investing done for you financially where you're like, I'm able to do these things. Without real estate investing, I would not be able to afford this type of lifestyle. So where does Nas spend his money most of the time?

SPEAKER_01 1:52

All right. So before I get into that, right, I just want to say that I learned a lot from you. You know, when I got the room rental stuff, that you really helped me out. Like you literally mentored me into, you know, doing that and doing in that space. But let me um say this as far as your question, and thank you for having me on. But your question, I mean, I've been able to do some things that the average person can't fail.

SPEAKER_00 2:16

Yeah, that's what I want to know.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

So, and even though I tell people, like, even though business has been rough the last two years because of ups and downs, any entrepreneurship, right? Any entrepreneurship, ups and downs, but man, listen, I I'm so I'm I'm so happy to be in this business. I'm blessed to be in this business because there's just so much that this has done for me. So, for example, I've been able to take my father to the Super Bowl. All right. So that, yeah, I meant a lot. That that I really wanted to do that because back um in the late 1900s, my father used to take me. We um I grew up in Jersey. So me and I grew up in Jersey, we had the New Jersey Nets. The reason why I go so hard for the Hornets is because the Nets moved to Brooklyn. So they Brooklyn could have them. You know? If the Yankees or the Mets moved to Jersey, they would stop cheering for them. So with that being said, um, I'm a Hornets fan now, but just going to the Nets game. We used to go to the Nets game. I seen the Greeks. Um, of course, when Michael Jordan came to town, the tickets used to be so expensive. So I I we we got to see him once, we had to say hi in the nose bleeds. I got to see the um the infamous Dallas Cowboys at the Giants Stadium back in the day. Um so I had wanted to do something for him, so I took him to the Super Bowl, um, which is probably one of the bigger accomplishments. But other than that, um I've been able to create life on my terms, been able to travel the world to places that I desire.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

I'm not one of those people whereas I want to do X amount of country per eight. I want to go to places I want to go to.

SPEAKER_00 3:54

When you want to go.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Yeah, well, you know what I'm saying? So, and also I um I'm one of those people in my I I couldn't keep a job. I couldn't keep a job. And so I'm just one of those people where I gotta, you know, work for myself. I could take direction. I'm I'm co I was coachable, but my in my 20s though, I was I was a little rough, I was all the way rough around the edges. So I didn't get the concept. I'm glad I didn't get the concept. So I just made it happen. And I've been able to, you know, have a good, you know, my 30s were great. You know, I'm hoping looking forward to have my you know my 40s being great.

SPEAKER_00 4:29

So so you have been able to create the lifestyle you want from real estate investing. Absolutely. And that is something that I want to make sure that we pull out, we emphasize that it did not happen overnight. It took a lot of work, but where you're at today is far better than where you would have been had you stayed in corporate America. Is that a true statement?

SPEAKER_01 4:57

If I was in corporate America, I probably wouldn't have a seven-figure net worth. You know what I'm saying? Like I wouldn't have no seven figure. Wouldn't have one. I wouldn't I probably wouldn't have a retirement account that's worth well over, you know, half a million dollars. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 5:11

Nah, you ain't got to keep putting all your business out there. No, no, no, you're good.

SPEAKER_01 5:15

I just I wouldn't have these things about with a job. So you know, that the most important thing about the real estate investing was the education. Yeah. Now that I have the education, I can properly make the right choices that led to some results that I'm pleased with today.

SPEAKER_00 5:33

Yeah. So so back in like, I remember back in like 2020, between like 2020 and 2022, it was up. Like everybody was on the internet teaching real estate investing. And fast forward to today, you don't see those same people that had a course, that had a mentorship, that had all of these things going on. It's like, what, where did those people go? Right. So it's kind of like not questioning where they're at, what they did, what was true, what was not true, and when you know, you saw different people talking about their lifestyle and the cars and the houses, but they're not, they're not on the on the net anymore. So I'm gonna I'm gonna assume that maybe, just maybe, um, that they weren't able to prolong their success in this business. You've been in this game a long time. How have you been able to maintain and stay in this game as long as you have been able to?

SPEAKER_01 6:25

Just keep it basic. Looks the basic book that you live, that you read, the basic things you read in the financial literacy book, the the things about a lot of successful people, you live beneath your means. That covet that COVID entrepreneur, what they did was the few that actually did make money outside of doing the wrong thing with the PPP, the few that actually did make some money, what they did was, yeah, they went out, they made 100k, 150, 200k. Um, brand deals were of abundance at that time. People getting brand deals, TikTok was paying well, all that. But what they did was they went to go get the high rise with the view in the back. Yeah, they did. Everybody went to go get the high rise with the view in the back. They they went to go get this expensive car note, right? Yeah. Then they had to get to suspensive, these expensive clothes. When you do that and present yourself mentally, you're telling yourself, I gotta keep up with this image.

SPEAKER_00 7:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

You keep up with this image, and what happens is in business, you're gonna have a bad month. You're gonna have a bad two months, you might have a bad year. You know, these things happen. But when it happened to them, the house of cars collapsed because you had all these bills and you can no longer maintain it. So it's like, I let me get back to this car. I can't do this no more. The way I was teaching real estate or et cetera, um, it's not working right now. I gotta give everything back. So it just, you know, people were making great money, but they were spending um great money. So what I mean by that, they were um an asset to the um the high rise owner. They were an asset to BMW, but not but liability to themselves.

SPEAKER_00 8:06

Wow. Yeah, that's that's deep because um, you know, it is so easy to uh they call it lifestyle creep. It is so easy to get into a situation where you've make all this money and now it's like you you eating out more and you're not just eating out at, you know, Olive Garden, you going to the five-star restaurants, you're going to the five-star hotels, you're, you know, living up to every last dollar in your bank account when you can't do that. And I think, you know, a lot of that just comes from lack of education when it comes to being financially sound in business. Like a lot of people, they don't get that educated like, where do you get that education from? Unless that was taught to you by your parents or your grandparents, you know, people close to you that were in business, unless you have that type of support system around you, you don't know that you can't spend every dollar that you make. You you you gotta understand that, first of all, Uncle Sam comes to get his cut. Let's understand that. You have to understand that some money has to go back into the business. Not to say that you can't enjoy the money that you make, but there has to be an understanding that you have to segment the money you make and put it into certain buckets so you can maintain your business.

SPEAKER_01 9:23

Nah, that that that's real. Now, I'm gonna say about this about my situation because um I like to highlight them when I can. Even though my parents were both um born um during Jim Crow. When I say that to the people that don't understand this, right, just put this in perspective. The man I one of the people I called up going growing uh calling grandpa, right? He took my father in and I grew up um calling him grandpa, he buried Malcolm X, right? So my parents surrounding this, my mother, when Martin Luther King would march, all right, she would march she would um go out there and march as well, right? So this is like this is one generation up, my parents. They got rights during their lifetime. You know what I'm saying? During their lifetime, all right. Um so during when 1968 happened, my father was 18, he got his rights when 1968. So to put so black people, we got our first set of rights in 64, Malcolm Pass in 65, 68. Um, MLK was assassinated, we burnt this thing down, they gave us um some more civil rights in reference to we can buy properties and things in Asia if you can't afford it.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:42

The reason why they put that if you can't afford it is because prior to that, um our counterparts were given things, all right, that they couldn't afford. But um my parents were married, and unlike other uh in my neighborhood, and because I we grew up, see in North Jersey, you could be middle class and still be in the hood. So that was my situation. New York City, the same thing. You could be middle class, but you still in the hood. Yeah, you know. Um, so we that was our situation, but my parents, they taught me how to say it. My mother was a teacher. I hey, listen, I know you A and T to the core, but she was central. I am right, you Aggie, but she was the central. She's the eagle.

SPEAKER_00 11:19

Okay, still HBC love. Okay, shout out to your mom. Now it's okay. It's okay.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

But so I say that to say this, that you know, she um she did me uh, she they taught me savings, like they taught me that. Like she believed education started at home. So yeah, I had a savings account since grade school. And I always I always was good with saving.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

So that helped me out a lot in life that to save money and live um and live um beneath your means. Um when I read in the books, I pretty much just confirmed it. The other thing, once you you start living this lifestyle, you gotta keep up with it. I did that in high school, my early 20s.

SPEAKER_00 11:57

Oh, so you got that out your system.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

I got out of my system and I went broke doing it multiple times. Yeah, nah, bruh. You impressing all of it. You all you're doing is impressing everybody else. Right. But your bank account is the one, you the one paying for it, but you impressing anybody else. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, bruh, nah, I figured out my 20s, nah, that ain't worth it. You know, fortunately, I got out of that got out of that environment in 24. I moved down here in 2008, and I didn't know anybody, so I didn't have anybody down here to impress. That helped. That helped a lot. It helped a lot. I had nobody to impress, I had no image to uphold.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

You know, I could be anybody I want. And so what I did was I had shut the F up and got my life together.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

Yeah. Yeah. That's um, I know we're talking about, we're we're teetering on financial literacy away from real estate investing, but it was important for me to bring this topic out because you do such an excellent job of being on this internet and being genuine and being your true self, um, and not someone who is trying to do it for the gram as far as you know, the expensive clothes. Like, I don't think I've ever seen you in Gucci, Fendi, or Prada. That doesn't mean that you don't have money. It's a lot of us that think if we don't wear those brand names, then it's a sign that we don't have money.

SPEAKER_01 13:14

Yo, I swear, bro, and it's got to the point. It still can work for some people. It still works for some people. I see that, but it's got to the point. I've talked to a lot of like different social media agencies and and and coaches, people, and even ad guys, they was like, yo, those ads where you show things, you don't attract the right crowd. And they won't, you know, because they don't have any money. Because a lot of that stuff attracts people with no money and and it presses people that don't have any money. Yeah. So and we're we're we social media is getting a little bit better, whereas, you know, they're getting tired of it. It doesn't work as like it once did. They are getting tired of it. Um, it's getting it's getting burnt in the ground, but you still got people who do it. I just wish, besides that foolishness, social media just let go the 50-50 conversation who who eat first, um who eat who eat first, and um all men cheat and and all women cheat, and women ain't no good. I just wish they let that go. But yeah, like um that, like, that, like, once you start to get caught up in that, you're gonna be, you're gonna, you're gonna get to put yourself in a mental battle. Because once you get the car, once you get the high rise, you gotta keep up with this stuff.

SPEAKER_02 14:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

Now, here's the thing I tell young folks I don't like about the high rise. Because you're paying anywhere between three and twenty thousand dollars, depending on what his high rise is. It was this one um big influencer, he was paying uh $17,000 a month, or multiple of them, paying $17K a month. But then when that economy turned, yeah, of course. You know what happened then. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, but um even just even let's take $3,000 a month, that's $36k a year. Bro, buy a house, bro. Buy a house. Buy a house, you own it, you build an equity, you have something. I get everybody saying the same thing of oh, well, you know, I don't want to maintain no no lawn or do this or do that and do that. No, no, no, no. You're gonna have to sacrifice with doing something you don't want to do because this will pay off. You know, it will pay off owning. Yeah. Rather than you, you you 36,000, you was there for three years, and now you just walking away from all that money. That's I don't think that's a good, uh, a good financial decision.

SPEAKER_00 15:45

Agree. And unfortunately, there are some big influencers on the internet that are encouraging people not to get into home ownership.

SPEAKER_02 15:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:53

Like literally calling it a scam.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

And that is the craziest thing because of what your parents' fault went through, what they stood for, what black people in this country were were fighting for was ownership. So to so to turn around and fast forward to our generation for influencers on the internet to say that homeownership is a scam, it's disappointing. And it's sad because you're cheating people out of legacy. You're cheating people out of equity when they believe that, even though everyone is in, you know, has is an adult and has a responsibility to do their own research, but they call it an influencer for a reason. Like when you, when you are at a certain, you know, a threshold of the number of people that follow you on this internet, you have a high responsibility. And I think people are misusing their platform when they when they teach people or encourage people to just continue to rent. Now, I know that there are preferences, I know that people have different lifestyles, but to but to call home ownership a scam when that is a way out for some families when it comes to building longevity in um in wealth and um passing a portfolio from one generation to the next, you can't do that with your high-rise. Like you can't give that to your kid, your grandkid. And all you're doing with your high-rise apartment is making the landlord richer. That's all. Because he's into ownership, even if you're not. So that's a wild, wild dynamic. Okay, so let's talk a little bit about real estate investing. I I want to, you know, it's real estate investing type podcast. So we should, you know, chat a little bit about that. So um let the people know, as long as you've been doing this thing, what types of real estate investing transactions have you been a part of and which ones have made you the most money? So we're talking, you know, your traditional buy and hold, fix and flip, new bills, whatever the case may be. Like, where have you uh what have you done over your career and which one of those transaction types has made you the most money?

SPEAKER_01 17:58

All right. So over the time I build houses, um I I do own two commercial buildings. One I'm getting beat down on. So I'm not gonna definitely not gonna say I'm a commercial real estate expert, but um I have a rental portfolio. I built um houses, um, fix and flip, rental, uh, rental, do the room rental. The thing that makes me the most money, wholesaling. I don't think I'm gonna ever stop wholesaling, be real with you. Really? I don't think I'm ever stopped.

SPEAKER_00 18:28

No. That's a high-paying job, though.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

It's a very high-paying job.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

Isn't the point to get away from the labor? Get away from the manual work.

SPEAKER_01 18:38

Like this, like I just don't know any other thing where I can create 20, 30k, 40k out of thin air. Thin air.

SPEAKER_00 18:47

Just pushing papers. Just pushing papers. Yeah. I know over the years that people have got into teaching um how to build this wholesaling business, like putting 10 and 15 people in an office cold calling, and they have their own cubicles and responsible for making X number of calls a day, and there's a board where we're keeping track of how many contracts we get that day. And this is whole, like it was this whole push for building out this wholesaling business because you can make 70,000, 80, 90,000 a month. Right. Is that your business model today? Do you have all these people working for you and all these VAs and this kind of thing?

SPEAKER_01 19:24

I let my team go uh a few years back, but no, I I don't I don't have anything like that today. I don't have anything like that. I never had an office. We always just work from home. But I did have a team, but um You let your team go? Yeah, years ago.

SPEAKER_00 19:36

So who is it who who who's working for you now?

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Me and some virtual assistants.

SPEAKER_00 19:41

That's it.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

That's it. I'm keeping it lean and and and short, right? So I always knew not to do that with that big overhead because of it's it's a big overhead, and eventually things change, things happen.

SPEAKER_00 19:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:57

And um I know some guys who has I've never been in a situation where I couldn't make payroll, fortunately. I've never been in a situation whereas I couldn't pay a mortgage that on one of my properties, and I mean, as you probably know, your hard money lenders know that. Yeah, you know, fortunately. Yeah, you know, if I gotta lose on the property, I lose. They they still win. So with that being said, um I I always was keep it lean, keep it lean type of guy.

SPEAKER_02 20:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:29

You know, don't just go out there and just build a bunch of expenses. That was that's always been my motto.

SPEAKER_00 20:35

Yeah. People don't uh think about the profit margins. Like you might make $70,000, $80, $90,000 a month, and that's great, but how much did you have to pay each one of those cold callers? The ones in your office here and the ones in the offices overseas, because people love to have like a balance between the the VAs out of the Philippines, and then they got these acquisition managers and disposition managers and all these things, and it's like those people get paid first. Uh your your your your office rent, it gets paid first. Like you get paid last.

SPEAKER_01 21:10

So I I know, I know guys. I met when I was in the high-level mastermind, I met guys, you know, they they improved their stuff, they was in the master mind and improved their stuff, but they'll make 1.2 million, but 100K would be profit.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

1.2 million for the year.

SPEAKER_01 21:26

But 100k is profit.

SPEAKER_00 21:27

That's it.

SPEAKER_01 21:28

That's it. Out of that, 1.2, 100k because they expenses and overheads. Now being this mastermind, of course, they start to cut back, cut back and get more leaner. And then that, you know, 1.2 turn into, you know, 500,000 um to you know six hundred thousand or whatever. Um once they get off that, like, once they get to like 50% profit off of deals, you know, it starts to improve. So, but yeah, like people went out and built that stuff, man. And I I I I'm glad I did.

SPEAKER_00 21:57

Yeah, so bringing bringing out the examples. Of um uh real estate investors that go and build these large wholesaling businesses is that you don't have to go that far.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

No.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

Like I know the buzzword was or the buzz phrase was scaling. Scale. This is how you scale your wholesaling business.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

I swear people was, yeah, people would ain't even do a deal. Hey, I'm trying to scale, you know.

SPEAKER_00 22:21

Let me go, let me go hire these two VAs, one for acquisitions and one for dispositions.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

I had to tell my students, like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who don't wait. Hold on. Wait, let's do a deal first. Let's do another deal. Let's put up $20,000, $30,000 before you start to bring bring all these people in.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

You know?

SPEAKER_00 22:38

Yeah. So bringing that that out because we're talking to somebody here. We're talking to, I'm talking to some people that admire you, that have seen you over the years, and understand what you have brought to this table when it comes to real estate investing education. Um, and I want them to know that Nas is successful. Nas a multimillionaire, and um he doesn't have an office full of staff like doing wholesale deals. It's him and a couple VAs out of the Philippines. Right. And he is keeping it lean to this day. So I think that is a lesson for all of us to try to have some have to know. You're looking at these videos and you see success of these um investors that say they've they built these large real estate investing firms. It's nice, it's a nice story that they're telling and they have knowledge to share. But at the end of the day, you have to do what's right for you. And you have to understand that there are expenses that go with these large businesses, and the best thing that you can do is to keep it lean. Like, who'd have thought this guy's still on the phone? Like, do you still talk to sellers?

SPEAKER_01 23:44

I still to this, like, I went back to do some acquisitions myself. So I said, I'm doing acquisitions right now.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:51

Just grabbing sellers up and talking, yeah, making deals happen.

SPEAKER_00 23:54

That's that's crazy seldom, right? But he knows what makes money. And he has done the testing. And that's what business is about. Like, you're gonna learn over time that you're gonna test having the big business and then you're gonna test having the lean business. And then you'll see for yourself where those profit margins are, and you'll decide what's best for your business model. Um, but consistently I've I've heard from this guy to keep it lean and live below your means. So very important.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

Yeah. Very important.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

So, at what point in the journey did you decide to start to, you know, um explore room rental investing?

SPEAKER_01 24:29

Um so for those who don't know, I got a YouTube channel, and um, from my YouTube channel, I would interview. We all know the infamous uh Jay Parker. I did interview with him, I did an interview with Isaac, um, good friend of mine, Isaac Long. And all I'm like, this makes too much sense. And then you got into it, and then eventually I got my house and I called you, and you basically just mentored me to get the whole thing. The reason why I got into it because these people were making anywhere between four and six, seven thousand a month of one property a month. Yeah. So I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I can do this. Let's talk about it. Yeah, I can do this. Yeah, like this is better than Airbnb. Because I don't have all the turnover. 100%.

SPEAKER_00 25:15

Do you still have your Airbnb?

SPEAKER_01 25:16

I still have it. I still have it, yes. I still have it, it's still running strong. Reason why mine is still running strong is because I go after that Walmart crowd. And it's only 70 to 90 bucks a night.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Walmart crowd. I was about to ask, what does that mean? Okay. 70 to 10 to 10.

SPEAKER_01 25:34

People looking for value. I'm not going after like, I'm not the $400, $300 that's good, I'm not the guy that matches the hotel rates or costs more than the motel, if that makes sense.

It does make sense. It does make sense. And there is, um, there are different target audiences, and so there's nothing wrong with the Walmart audience. They need to, you know, rent Airbnbs periodically as well. Um, so what's your what's your main focus these days? Are you are you focused on continuing to build a room rental portfolio? Or are you like, if the deal makes sense, if the property makes sense, I'll go that route, but you're focused on other things like new bills.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

Right right now, I I need, I'm in this place where I'm all money in right now.

SPEAKER_00 26:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:20

So I just want to build houses and wholesale. If I if there's a rental property that makes sense, I'm gonna do that. But that's my focus on those two right now.

SPEAKER_00 26:30

Build houses and wholesale. I didn't hear fix and flip nowhere in that.

SPEAKER_01 26:33

Hell no. Golly.

SPEAKER_00 26:36

Can you please tell the people why you are not into the fix and flip scene at this time?

SPEAKER_01 26:41

Too many variables, man. Just too many variables. We're in the buyer's market. Buyers had the upper hand. That work better be top tier, or you will be sitting on the market. But it's just too many variables. You could go into um a property, think, yo, you're gonna put 60,000. Next thing you know, you at 90. For those who are not in this, that's um, you probably not familiar with this, but how does 60 get to 90 is because you open up a wall, you see that wood rotted out, or you might go in the in the house under the house. Crawl space. Oh my god. My goodness. 20, 30k right there. Right there.

SPEAKER_00 27:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 27:21

Right there. Oh, you'd be like, what in the world? And it's all termite damage and rotted. I've been, I said, nah, bro. This can't be.

SPEAKER_00 27:30

Contractors you can't control.

unknown 27:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

Contractors are run off with your money. Uh, you have no control over when you know inspections will be completed, when permits will be obtained. It's it's it's rough. It's a rough business. So shout out to those who that's their their mainstay is fixing flips, and they're able to maintain their lifestyle just from that type of real estate.

SPEAKER_02 27:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:54

Yeah. All right. Well, Nasser, thank you for being here. This is exactly how I envision this interview going.
