Starting point is 00:00:00 So you probably haven't experienced any of those nightmare tenants. No, not with corporate clients. I mean, guess how many evictions I had with corporate clients for the last eight years doing this? Zero? You're a smart man. You're a smart man. Have you had any landlord with eight years experience, dozens of properties with zero evictions? Definitely not.

I'm so excited. Are you excited for this? Let's go, man. You got a crazy story. So you grew up
Starting point is 00:00:50 in Vietnam, right? Yes, yes. How long were you there? I was there until I was 10 years old, and I moved here when I was 10. Slept on one mattress, my mom, my dad, me and my sister in the ghetto, guys, in the ghetto in the south. No English, didn't know anybody except my uncle. We decided to make the American dream happen. So none of the people in the south no english didn't know anybody except my uncle we decided to make a make the american dream happen so none of uh the people in your family spoke english when you know no wow and did you all have to kind of learn just on the fly yes yes it took us two hours just look up the dictionary is what the assignment is i was doing homework and stuff you were reading the dictionary dude that's crazy yeah it must have been tough because this was before like technology where there's oh yeah there's no google there's no internet there's not no iphone yeah
Starting point is 00:01:29 oh sounds terrible man you actually had to go to a library and read it yeah yeah now i have duolingo right i just learned spanish on there but um so from there how long did it take you to become fluent in english oh it took me a couple years at least yeah a few years and going to school yeah i went to uh it was 10th grade yeah 10th grade wait 10th grade i mean i'm sorry five fifth grade i was 10 years old i was gonna say did you skip five grades yeah i wish so you didn't speak school uh english in school so people were probably picking on you yeah yeah yeah big time picking on me i was like the only as Asians, a few minorities in the whole school. You know, grew up in the South.
Starting point is 00:02:07 So, yeah, man, I was the underdog immigrant boy. Yeah. So what did that take mentally? Was that really tough on you for a while? Oh, big time, man. I was depressed. My whole family was depressed. We didn't know why.
Starting point is 00:02:20 We was like fish out of the water, you know? Yeah. So in high school, I actually thought like, I even thought of been i thought of like you know like i mean it was high school it was really tough yeah i couldn't talk with anybody i couldn't have communication um i was just in my own shell you know yeah that's so crazy because you're such a young age that those are supposed to be like the best you know memories innocent memories and right to have thoughts at that age that's terrible yeah i do yeah so i came a long way man i couldn't even i had two friends in high school and uh and other than that i couldn't even talk with anybody wow so depressed honestly two friends that's all you really need yeah yeah i have two friends right now oh right right i like keeping my circle tight
Starting point is 00:02:59 because when you have too many friends it's almost like a hindrance right right right um but from high school what happened from there? Because I know you ended up becoming a doctor, right? Yes, yes. So we thought the American dream is to become a doctor, a lawyer. That's what we've been brainwashed. So that's what I did. And that's what I do, what I do.
Starting point is 00:03:15 So my mom told me to become a doctor. So I said, okay, yeah. What's the different route? So I became a doctor of pharmacy, which was the route that I chose. And walk my butt off, move across the country to Utah. I will place a slab on the basement, you know, ramen noodle, McDonald's dollar menu, Walmart's $5 chicken, right? For like eight years.
Starting point is 00:03:38 And got my doctorate, got my MBA, all of that. And I thought I made it. Like, mom, I'm'm gonna take care of you now so you guys sacrifice everything for me my dad and i was like i'm gonna retire you guys and all of that yeah so within my first year i became number one one of the top one in the world for the company a fortune five company one of the top pharmacists and all i got was more work same amount of pay and less help They cut my tech hours by half because they know that I can handle it.
Starting point is 00:04:07 So I was like, this is BS. This is like modern slavery. So I got it. Something got to change. So I tried all kinds of businesses from online, offline, MLM, dropshipping, everything. But what I found is because I had a full-time job and I was also going to school full-time,
Starting point is 00:04:23 it's really tough to get any business going, right? So I was like, what is that business that give me the least amount of time but maximum result and also more passive income? So I come down to real estate, right? Real estate is where you can really get that passive income.
Starting point is 00:04:39 So I started buying houses like when I graduated and stuff. Shout out to today's sponsor rocket money guys you ever feel like money's just flying out of your account well this app might be able to help you because there's something called subscriptions that are eating at your bank account every single month and there's apps you don't know about delivery apps streaming services you name it you're probably getting charged a monthly fee by a lot of companies and you don't even know you could see all your subscriptions in one place on the Rocket Money app and you can cancel all the unwanted subscriptions with one tap.
Starting point is 00:05:12 They'll even try to get you a refund for the last couple of months and negotiate your bills to be even lower by up to 20%. All you got to do is take a picture of your bill and Rocket Money takes care of the rest Rocket money is a personal finance app that basically finds and cancels unwanted subscriptions They help you monitor your spending and they help you lower your bills Rocket money has been a great experience for me personally. They've saved me money Hundreds of dollars on bills They were able to go through all of my credit cards all of my bank statements See what I was paying for on a monthly basis
Starting point is 00:05:43 And I found a ton of stuff that I don't even use. Honestly, I had an Xbox game pass that was being charged monthly. I don't even play games. That one was years old. And they also lowered some of my bills. My phone bill and my wifi bill were pretty high. They were over 150 bucks a month and they were able to cut down on those prices. So all in all, shout out to Rocket Money. Great product. So stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash dsh that's rocketmoney.com slash dsh link will be in the description below house was only making me a few hundred bucks a month right yeah and i said how long would it take for me to make 10k a month it's gonna be like you know 50 houses and uh like 50 years from now to buy
Starting point is 00:06:26 like let's say like 20 houses or whatever 30 houses so it's gonna be 50 years i mean my mom's not gonna be alive my dad's not gonna be alive this is this is gonna take forever yeah yeah so i was like there's gotta be a better way so you shifted the strategy from buying houses to corporate rentals right yes corporate rental arbit, which means that we arbitrage other people's property, which means that we rent it vacant, we furnish it, we add value to it, and then we re-rent it out to companies. So companies willing to pay double the market rent.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Let's say I rent a house, let's say $2,000. I can rent a company for $4,000 or $5,000. I make on average, national average, about $2,000 a month. If you're in California, if you're in vegas you can make more like three or four k a month so um but yeah so that's that's that's the whole strategy and it's like when i heard about it's like whoa it blew my mind it's like does airbnb own any properties no right uber does uber own any cars no so the new age we don't need to own anything. We need to control everything, right?
Starting point is 00:07:30 So we can control a multi-million dollar property with just a few thousand dollars of rent. And why not? We start making money right away. And then instead of buying one house, it's only take like 15K, around 12, 15K to set one of these up. So you don't need hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy one house. You need like 15K, 12, 15 K to set one of these up. So you don't need hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy one house.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Yeah. You need like 15 K, 12, 15 K. So for one house you buy, you can do 10 of these on and that versus how would you like guys to make 10 times the money now instead of wait, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:57 for decades and also diversify your risk 10 times and also have 10 times less risk and also get that 10 times faster now. Yeah, that's cool. Because typically with real estate, you need some big money to get involved or to even make money. But with this strategy, it sounds like, like you said, you can start with 10, 20K. Right. And you can even put that on a credit card.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Right. Like a 0% interest card. Right. So how are you finding the companies to rent the houses? Yes. how are you finding the companies to rent the houses? Yeah, so these companies are construction company, IT company, TV shows as well. Insurance housing is one of my favorite, which means that all the property
Starting point is 00:08:34 is always going to be renovated, right? Because people want to live better or the properties get old and the insurance will pay for that. Or if there's a natural disaster like fire in California, flooding in Florida, or the kind of tornado in Texas, right? And where these families stay,
Starting point is 00:08:52 so we can help them going through a disaster by staying at one of our properties and the insurance will pay for it. So I feel like Robin Hood at some point, we were robbing from the insurance to pay the people because the insurance, they just got a load of money and they can pay a lot for these people
Starting point is 00:09:08 and take care of them. Yeah, those guys are printing money. So you don't own any houses. You just rent. I do. I own 10 houses personally and the rest I all be charged.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And we help hundreds of students nationwide. We've done hundreds of deals with them as well. Wow. So the 10 that you own are those more just long-term holds? Yes, long-term hold. So no one's living in living in them no we rent out to corporate too oh okay got it
Starting point is 00:09:30 yeah interesting so what's the what's the exit plan here do you want to really scale this to hundreds of houses yeah the exit plan uh yeah you you can scale this uh right now my focus has been shifted to helping a lot of people because after after like i've done like dozens of these deals i'm like i don't have the juice anymore it doesn't give me that juice what gave me the juice is helping like a single mom getting financial freedom which i did helping a truck driver making six figure income which i did you know those kind of stories really drove me now drive me now and i want to impact millions of people now, not with this strategy,
Starting point is 00:10:07 but with other strategies as well. But right now, this is the best one I found to get to that freedom fast. Because once you get freedom, the world open up, right? So when I was retired, you know, was in my early 30s,
Starting point is 00:10:17 retired my mom and dad. And then everything, all the opportunities opening up because I have that passive income. It's all about cash flow. Love it. And you said you refurnished the place. So how much on average are you spending on furniture?
Starting point is 00:10:30 Yeah, furniture about 7,000 to 10,000, depending on your taste. Okay. And the owners of the house is cool with this? Oh, absolutely. They know about it? They love us for it because we're going to pay first month rent,
Starting point is 00:10:42 first month deposit. We can even pay above market rent. But we keep that in our back pocket. The pitch here to the owner is that, hey, we can pay for cleaning every few months. We're going to pay for it. You don't have to worry about it. Any maintenance, maintaining it under $200 a month, we're going to pay for it. You don't have to worry about it as well.
Starting point is 00:11:02 So we're going to basically manage it for free. We're going to be the best tenant, the last tenant you ever have. So why not? Just give it a shot. for it you don't have to worry about it as well so we're gonna basically manage it for free we're gonna be the best tenant the last tenant you ever have so why not just give it a shot we have corporate clients so it's not like you know we're not airbnb to vacation and all of that our stays are average two to three five months at a time yeah and corporate clients seem more respectful than certain absolutely you hear these nightmare stories about rentals where people mess up the place. Yeah, absolutely. But with companies,
Starting point is 00:11:27 their reputation's on the line with the company. Exactly. And they don't want to lose their job. Yeah. So you probably haven't experienced any of those nightmare tenants. No, not with corporate clients.
Starting point is 00:11:37 I mean, guess how many evictions I had with corporate clients for the last eight years doing this? Zero? You're a smart man. You're a smart man. Have you had any landlord with eight years experience dozens of you're a smart man you're a smart man have you had any landlord with eight years experience dozens of properties with zero evictions uh definitely not there's always at least one yeah you know so so how much time is required to set this up say you want to
Starting point is 00:11:57 start your first one how many hours per week would you need to dedicate your questions just a few hours a week like i said five to 10. The biggest part of it is setting it up. But once you set it up, it's like almost passive. So five to 10 hours a week to set things up. After that,
Starting point is 00:12:12 it's more like one to two hours. And once you have like five or more properties, you can hire one manager to manage everything for you. And that's how I'm able to travel around the world and live life of my dreams.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Wow. So you're just cashflow and heavy with very minimal work, dude. That's awesome. And what are you uh reinvesting the money with buy houses you know into into uh my my influence my branding and all of that yeah nice so what's the goal with the branding do you want to start your own show you're absolutely yeah yeah i'm starting my own podcast uh as well uh it's helping the underdog millionaire podcast. So yeah, and then I want to help a lot more people who are overlooked, who are underserved, and give them that financial
Starting point is 00:12:51 freedom, give them a voice like you do. And I respect you so much for doing it at such a young age. I wish I'd done it when I was your age. And yeah. A lot of life is timing, I think, because podcasts weren't a thing when you were my age. So it's all about just seizing the moment, what's hot right now, and being there before everyone else. Yes. Yeah. So were you able to retire your parents? Yes, I did. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:13:12 12 years cancer survivor. So thank God for that. I've raised him all the time because she had stage four. Wow. And the doctor said she only got like, I don't know, a few weeks left. Damn. And that was 12 years ago. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:13:22 So life happened very fast, guys. You got to have that sense of urgency and take care of your family because you don't know how long they have yeah but anything is possible miracles happen all the time yeah the cancer stuff is sad because um especially when you're you're poor you can't have the proper nutrition yeah so you have higher chance of just eating terrible food and that leading to diseases yeah you ate mcdonald's for eight years straight yeah my whole family didn't know man like no one did back yeah i used to eat burger king every morning yeah now i'll never touch fast no i know i know yeah ever i'd rather starve right exactly exactly yeah it's so
Starting point is 00:13:56 bad so like what do you spend your time on then uh traveling connecting with awesome people um and really think you like to learn yeah i love to learn i love to uh associate myself with higher caliber people yeah and then also think because the school system don't don't don't teach us how to think they don't man and i read something i think bill gates and uh buffett they dedicate an hour or two just to think every day yes and it's something that you can kind of get lost in the sauce when you're working so hard you don't leave time to think or even learn sometimes you did that for years without even thinking right exactly me too we're just going through the motion right here's what you need to do next what you're supposed to do all of that question why why why why all the time yeah are
Starting point is 00:14:39 you interested in coming on the digital social hour podcast as a guest we'll click the application link below in the description of this video. We are always looking for cool stories, cool entrepreneurs to talk to about business and life. Click the application link below and here's the episode, guys. So has this business model been tested during real estate recessions yet? Yes. During COVID? Absolutely. And that's what really drove me And that's how I got my claim of fame because during COVID, most Airbnb shut down. I was at Tony Robbins' events. Tony Robbins, Landon partner and the founder of Airbnb was there.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Tony interviewed him, say, what happened with COVID? You lost like 80%. He's like, that's understatement. We lost like 90 something percent. Damn. Imagine your business closed 80, 90% overnight, right? Yeah. However, my corporate housing business only lost like 15 20 because we have long-term contracts and also they pay up front
Starting point is 00:15:33 a lot of the time so i was i was like where i think that storm just fine like just really well and that's why i went on tiktok talk about it i went viral on tiktok and then uh that's how people know about me yeah dude it sounds like you're making way more money and have way more freedom leaving the medical space. Absolutely. Absolutely. I was slaving away. God bless all you medical people. I mean, seriously, like God bless you because for you, my mom wouldn't survive. However, I mean, you got to do something on the side my brother and sisters i mean we we're just slaving away for you know 50 60 dollars an hour and overwork under pay uh and you know we gotta have a plan outside that i have cash flow have multiple sources of income because when i was making 60 income as a pharmacist i asked myself what happened to me when my income
Starting point is 00:16:20 is gone or something happened to me right so i was like, it's all gone. So what's the solution? The holy grail of financial freedom is have multiple sources of income that's not dependent on you making money while you sleep. And the best way to do that is with real estate. The challenge is most people don't have money to buy real estate, so why don't you do this? Imagine you have 20 houses making you money
Starting point is 00:16:40 while you sleep, have 20 different sources of income. If two of the houses burn down as I speak to you right now does it really matter that's only like five ten percent of my income and i can make two more rent two more houses like that yeah you know what i'm saying so it's totally different than just putting all if you if you are only having one or two sources of income right now which is most professional working right now is really question what are you doing right really really look at all the opportunity fast now because you don't know what's going to happen absolutely yeah as a kid in america you know you're taught growing up doctor lawyer engineer those are like the highest caliber highest paying jobs
Starting point is 00:17:15 but when you really take a step back and look at it it's not that good like you make 200 300k a year 400 maybe you know taxes you got a family, you got kids, and you're trading your time for money, which is the most important thing, I guess. You're trading 40 hours a week of your time for money. Rather than have a lifestyle like us, we can work whenever we want, wherever we want in the world. We can be in a different country.
Starting point is 00:17:39 We can have the potential to make more money. People go the easy route not easy route but just what they're taught you know so i i admire that you left that space because you dedicated 10 years of education to get there but you still left because you saw a greater opportunity absolutely brother absolutely yeah i mean what was the salary you were making i was making 120 to 140 if i work overtime nothing and i mean that's nothing crazy nothing especially with inflation these days yeah and um you you probably were in debt too right oh yeah big time so that would have taken eight years to pay off probably exactly
Starting point is 00:18:16 like forever so so basically i was making like 10k ish a month after uh taxes it's more like 7k after paying student loans more like five or six k yeah 5k so like you can't survive out of that plus you gotta take care of your family exactly so you're living off of a few thousand a month yourself exactly exactly that's not enough exactly and that's why you want to get into business especially real estate because you got become a real estate professional and you get a lot of tax write-off along with that and then you know you can claim a lot of uh expenses of your income stuff like that i disclaimer i'm not a tax attorney that's not tax financial advice yeah what are you doing on the health side i saw you post the kanji in water right oh yeah yeah yeah yeah so i am a proponent of uh living, whatever ways it is.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Health is definitely big. I know you're big into it as well. I love it, but right now I haven't focused on it. For business-wise, I haven't focused on that yet. Yeah, that's something you give up in your first few years of business. Yeah. Because you just got to make money. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:24 But I think when people start making some good money, people try to trade their time for money. I'm doing some crazy stuff now. I just bought an epigenetic test. It tells you your real biological age. That's awesome, man. We'll see what happens. I guess, what's that next thing for you
Starting point is 00:19:46 other than the podcast? Anything you're working on? Next thing is going on a lot more stages. I'm very fortunate to have done a podcast with Grant Cardone himself. Yes. And literally, we have a conversation like this with him. Very, very grateful for being part of that 10X community
Starting point is 00:20:04 and very well- known in that community. Tony Robbins, platinum partner, so I've been to his home, and also Sir Richard Branson. I play chess with him in his home. Who won? That's a funny story. Put it in the chat.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Who do you think won the first game? I want to ask you the same question. All right. What's your chess rating? Let's not say. Let's give me a guess. All right. I'm a 1400 oh wow you're good you're good yeah yeah no there's some people that are nasty andrew tate's uh 1800 oh yeah i bet i bet i bet yeah it sounds like you're willing to invest money in education that you believe in uh absolutely absolutely i invested over a million dollars into myself wow yeah just to be around the
Starting point is 00:20:46 right people exactly yeah exactly right why because here's the thing if if you have a golden goose letting a golden egg which one would you pick you pick the golden egg or the goose which one would you feed which one would i feed the goose exactly right which one are you feed? Which one would I feed? The goose. Exactly, right? Which one are you investing, let's say? The goose. The goose, exactly. And most of the time, people chase the golden egg, the new car, the new fancy house, the watches, all of that. That's the egg, guys.
Starting point is 00:21:16 The goose is you. You get it? So feed you, and then you're going to multiply 100 times. Yeah, the best investment is always in yourself. You just got to find the right people or the right platforms. Exactly. Because what they teach in school isn't always the best investment, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Exactly. Oh, absolutely. School system is one of the worst investments, I think. Honestly. Time, money, energy is broken, and I'm out here to change it, and we're doing our part uh to help educate the youth the younger generation there's a much better way guys wake up if i had to pick 100k on a college degree versus 100k one-on-one with grand cardone oh easy cardone all day all
Starting point is 00:21:57 day man what have you learned from him what are some things you picked up thank you number one commitment without commitment you never start commitment, you never do anything. Number two is take massive action toward your goals. And you got to be 10x your goal. 10x goal, guys. Whatever you make your yearly income, your monthly income. Think about it that way and how you can get there, right? Number three is then consistency predictably.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Because without consistency, you never finish. Consistency, changing, improvement all the time. Constant and never-ending improvement with Tony Robbins. And then Tony Robbins taught me focus, where focus goes, energy flow. And then your state and your stories is so important. So first, focus on what you want to go. Secondly, why you want to get there. What's your purpose behind it, right?
Starting point is 00:22:44 And then change your state by changing your physiology so always do incantations like you know or not just affirmation i'm happy i'm happy i'm happy no you ever go to war you ever see spartans go to war like that no you're gonna lose right you're gonna get right when you go to war you're like ah you know like yeah you know so you gotta embody that into yourself and get your physiology up when people depress they want to lay around do nothing you know so you gotta embody that into yourself and get your physiology up when people depressed they want to lay around do nothing you know it's not gonna help get out there just start walking in sunshine just start doing like every day i'm getting better and better in every way blah blah blah right and then you just build yourself from there and then once you're in the
Starting point is 00:23:18 peak state that's when you rewrite your story. Rewrite your story. Write out the future self, your future story, in past tense. For example, I've done, I made millions of dollars a year. You know? I've been on the greatest show of all time.
Starting point is 00:23:38 I already hung out amazing time with Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, played with a series of brands. I wrote all that. I imagined all that before it ever came to fruition. So leave from that place. Leave from your future
Starting point is 00:23:50 self. I've been writing in the past tense every day for the past six months. I'm looking at my logs from the first two months. I already achieved all of it. It's so powerful. I do it every day i never skip that
Starting point is 00:24:06 i do the wim hof breathing method every day manifestation meditation daily walks absolutely all of that stuff gratitude it the compound effect from all of this is insane phenomenal and look at what you accomplish at your age i mean imagine 10 years five years from now yeah right we need more people like this like us so. So let's go, guys. This is the real education, guys. What did you learn from Richard Branson? That's someone that not a lot of people get to meet. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I learned to be humble. The first thing he ever asked me was, would you like some coffee? And he was serving me coffee. I was like, Richard Branson's just serving me coffee right now. Yeah, he's multi multi billionaire and uh so i learned to be humble i learned that anything is possible and i learned that you want to integrate fun uh and create a life your dream for example his daily schedule
Starting point is 00:24:58 for the last 20 years is he played tennis in the morning he uh go kite surfing he had the uh you know on the beach and then had a most wonderful conversation just laying laying in his hammock doing business you know so on his own island i love i love his energy when i saw him on shark tank it seemed like he wasn't even taking it serious no he never take anything seriously either so that's another lesson too yeah yeah because i think when you're that rich you know what's an extra million dollars right doesn't matter right right and he's always serving right so there's like tony robbins about six level of needs right most people focus on significance and certainty and that's why they are depressed because when i was focusing on who you know how can i get better it's for me me
Starting point is 00:25:45 me you know how can i become more significant how can i have more certainty nothing is certain in life so when you trade your significance and certainty for uh love and servant a serving heart like of contribution everything is going to change love that everything going to change for you yeah yeah how long did it take you to get out of that depression you used to have uh it wasn't to college i got out a little bit and then until i graduated it took a long time a long time you were depressed first like 25 years i wouldn't say that i would i would depress from age probably 12 13 to about 2020 and i really like self-development got me out of that right so think and grow rich yeah the book really good how to win friends influence people uh the old classics right the bible i'm a christian so that really helped me out a lot like
