Alain Villegas is a chemical engineer who moved from the Philippines, read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and started buying single family rentals until they became a second job. On this episode, host Abel Pacheco and Alain talk about the moment he stopped doing it alone.
In this episode:
- The wall: "after almost a year of doing it by ourselves, I have zero doors acquired."
- The breakthrough in four words: "This is a team sport," and its corollary, "if you're not on a team, you're not going anywhere."
- The team he built: a CPA partner for financials and tax, a project management partner for oversight, himself on operations, and a mentor who "returned my money more than twenty times."
- What a team buys you: on his 408 unit deal, "our appraisal came in at more than $1.05 million higher than our purchase price, equity that's already gained the moment we close."
- Why scattered single family rentals became the second job he had to escape.
Abel Pacheco is a San Antonio real estate operator who went from 8 single family houses to a share of roughly 1,500 apartment doors, and now works as a fractional Chief AI Officer helping small and mid sized businesses put the back office on autopilot.
