Welcome Joette.

Thank you so much for having me, Coco.

I am honored to be here.

Oh, it's just a delight to get to connect with you.

So Joette and I, we have a close connection.

We're part of the strategic coach community and we together have the opportunity to get to know each other.

Being in the room once a quarter and learning from the teachings of Dan Sullivan and being in the room together, learning about each other's businesses and lives and so forth.

So it's so nice to be here with you today in this capacity.

Thank you so much.

I am so glad to have the opportunity to speak with you, especially in a one to one manner.

We're really able to delve a little bit deeper.

Yeah, exactly.

So, so at the beginning of all of my wisdom of women shows, we always talk first.

What is a book written by a woman that has significantly influenced your life?

The book that I would say probably off the top of my head is girl, wash your face.

And I like that one because that was the first book that I read that kind of gave me like a jolt to my system where it was like, hey, there's no excuses.

Like if you want to accomplish great things, wash your face, get up, get going, push the excuses aside and start making headway.

And that Book I probably read almost five years ago now.

And it was that book that helped me figure out the path that I wanted to go and follow forward and kind of set out the steps for me.

So Girl Wash sureface is one that I would say had a.

Has a huge impact.

That is great.

I, I remember reading this book a few years ago myself and it, and it really is, it's like, it's like a joke, right.

A reminder to get on path and that, you know, nobody's going to do this for you.

Right, right, absolutely.

There's, there's other books, but I would say that one comes to mind as like a.

Let's go.

Stop.

Stop delaying what you want.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

And it's easy to do that.

Right.

I know you had an interesting journey.

So tell us about your entrepreneurial journey and what inspired your initial interest in real estate and legal and how that evolved into kind of moving into investing for women.

So that journey started right out of undergrad.

I had gone to school, school for political science.

I had no intentions of being a lawyer and I was actually very poor when I was growing up.

I grew up with a single mom and I was one of those angel tree kids, if you know what that is.

It's like the, you know, the ornaments you pull off the tree and it says, girl, age 7, needs socks.

I was one of those kids because we just didn't have the money really for food.

Even my mom made a choice at a young age between a safe place to live with a good school system versus not so safe and having food.

And so I was presented with choices as a young child.

Right.

And I knew that if I was going to go to college, it was going to be on merit because my family didn't have the money.

My mom is from Vietnam.

She came over during the war.

And then my dad exited stage right when I was five.

So it was just her and I for a long time until she got remarried.

But at a young age, like I said, it was very clear to me that if I was going to do anything with my life, it was going to be because I earned my way there because there was no money to help me.

So I went and got a merit scholarship to go to college.

And then right before I graduated, my mom took me to one of those free one day real estate seminars.

This was almost 20 years ago now.

So back then there's no YouTube, there's no Google.

You can't just like go online and learn how to invest in real estate.

You actually had to show up and put in time and money.

So my mom takes me to this free one day seminar, and I absolutely fell in love with real estate.

And I was like, this is what I want to do with my life.

Screw the four years that I just spent learning and getting at my double degree.

I want to do real estate.

And I contacted the guru that was speaking that day, and I asked him for a job.

And I said, I'll get your coffee, I'll get your dry cleaning.

Like, just let me in the room.

Because in order to take his courses, it was anywhere between three to forty thousand dollars.

And I didn't have that money twenty years ago at that time.

Like, that's, that's a lot of money for, for a kid coming out of school.

And so I asked if I could work for him, and he kind of like, yeah, yeah, whatever.

But then I kept calling and I called every month for six months, and I was like, I want to be in the room.

And I think after six months, he finally got the idea that I wasn't going to go away.

So he finally gave me a job, and I spent the next five years working for him.

And I would get his coffee, I'd get his groceries, I'd get his dry cleaning, I'd run his errands.

But in exchange, I got to sit in the back of the room and learn everything that was being taught to these investors who were paying a minimum of three and sometimes up to 40 to learn real estate.

But I was learning it, and I was being paid to learn it.

So that's how I gathered my knowledge.

And so I decided I should go to law school to learn how to protect my investments.

Well, law school takes money, and I had some savings after working for the guru, but not enough for law school.

So again, I got a merit scholarship based on how I had done an undergrad.

But the law school that I went to, it's one of the only ones on the eastern seaboard that allows you to concentrate your law degree in real estate.

Most attorneys who practice law, they kind of fall into their area of expertise based on the job that they get.

Whereas for me, I knew I only wanted to do real estate and small business because of my background with this guru for five years.

And so I chose a law school that would allow me to concentrate my law degree in that manner.

Like I said, law school costs money.

I didn't have a ton.

So I implemented those strategies that I learned from the guru.

And while I don't recommend it.

What I did was I maxed out my student loans, and then I took that money and I went and I bought mobile homes because I couldn't qualify for a loan on a regular single family home because I had no job, because I couldn't work.

My first year of law school, I wasn't allowed to work per the school's rules.

So I didn't have a job.

I couldn't qualify for a loan, so I maxed out the student loans and I went and I bought mobile homes.

And I would go to school Monday through Friday, and then Saturday I'd wake up and I'd drive 100 miles north.

I would scrub toilets.

I'd clean the mobile home.

My boyfriend, who is now my husband, would paint, put the carpet out, and then we'd flip it and we would take payments on it.

And the payments that came in from the people who bought the mobile homes for us paid for law school.

Oh, my God.

So that is my very roundabout journey of how things just kind of fell in line.

I knew that I loved real estate.

I knew that it could change my life.

And it has, and it's helped.

Those skills have also helped me become a lawyer.

And that's, like I said, how I paid for law school.

Amazing.

And I.

You know, Joette, there's so many parts of this story that are so amazing and inspiring.

You are so gritty and unstoppable.

There's like, you, you know, so often we're stopped because we don't have the funds.

So often that's what stops Founders.

And I admire.

And I actually think it's.

It is that grit to figure it out one way or the other and, and you know, and take chances.

Like, you had to take a pretty big chance to take that loan out.

Your.

Your school loans, Max, your school loans.

And you were betting on yourself, right?

Yeah.

And I was betting on that I could live on a very low budget because I had to take.

I took the majority of the money to put into the mobile home.

So I was like, I can do this.

I can live below my.

My means until I can get to the next level.

That is extraordinary.

And so, and so you've been building.

So I love this story because from the very beginning, it's so clear this is what you were meant to do.

And I'm sort of interested to see, like, we'll come to this, but like, you were interested in this person, this sort of real estate guru.

It almost feels like that's your future teaching.

I would love that to be my future.

I have learned a lot in this journey and if I could, and if I could give that back, especially to women, because I was raised by a single mom, I have daughters, I want to be able to empower other women to know that this is possible, it is possible to change your life.

It is possible to learn real estate strategy specifically is what I'm talking about, since that's my area of expertise or my niche to use those strategies like I did and change your life and change your legacy for your children.

That's extremely important mission for me.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

And I think everybody listening is, can relate to that.

Right.

We want to create a better world for ourselves and for our kids and to empower ourselves with, you know, that's freedom to have the ability to create your.

Generate your own prosperity and not worry or have to believe that your circumstances dictate your future or that the other people in your life.

Right.

When you, when you have this ability and you can, you can go create it yourself, that's pretty powerful.

And right now you're, you're still a practicing full time real estate attorney and you're.

And you're also leading seminars, right?

Can you tell us about that?

Yeah, So I am a full time practicing attorney.

I own my own law firm.

So I had worked when I got out of law school, I did start as an associate attorney at other firms.

And then three years ago now I went and started my own law firm.

And part of what I do through my law firm is I put on in person seminars for local women and other males too.

But other investors in my community who want to learn what's called creative financing, which is kind of akin to what I was doing with the mobile homes where I was borrowing money, putting in the work and then selling and taking payments on it.

There's a lot of different strategies for creative finance that can be done that require a lot less money than the traditional ways of buying real estate.

Most people only know the one way, which is I save up for a down payment, I put it on the house, I go get a loan, I pay for the, for the rest, and I make mortgage payments for 30 years to the bank.

Well, it doesn't have to be that way.

There's several different strategies that can be done that are not traditional.

They're more creative.

And so that's what I teach in my community.

Okay, I.

Can we talk about those strategies?

Can you tell us?

Sure.

So the, probably the one that most people are most familiar with is like a rent to own.

Right.

So you're the renter, you're leasing the property, and instead of just renting the property, you can rent to own.

So a part of your monthly rental payment can go towards the purchase of the property.

And so you would have contracts in place for that.

So that's rent to own is probably the easiest way.

And to understand that concept.

The second is what's called seller financing, which is what I did with a mobile home.

So I own the home outright, and when I sold it, I took payments, monthly payments with interest until the payment was made in full.

So anyone can do that on a house.

If a homeowner owns a property and they don't have a mortgage on it, rather than going out and getting a loan and paying a bank for 30 years, you can just make payments to the seller.

So that's seller financing.

The third strategy is what I would call a contract for deed, which is also known around the country as an installment land contract.

So same concept where the buyer of the property is making payments to the seller.

But in that scenario, there may be a mortgage on the property already.

So, for instance, Coco, you own a home, for example, sake, it's like $100,000.

I want to buy it from you, but you have a mortgage for $50,000, so.

And I don't have the full $100,000 to give you.

If I did give that to you, you would turn around and give 50 to the bank and keep 50 yourself.

But in my scenario, I don't have the full hundred.

So what I would do is, let's say I make $1,000 a month payment, I give it to you, and for ease of numbers, you'll take 500 and you pay the bank and you keep the other 500.

But then every month that I make payments to you, the amount that I owe you for the purchase price on the home is decreasing.

So that scenario is great for a homeowner who has a mortgage but also wants to sell.

Yeah.

The other one is a, what I call innovation, which basically is a way for an investor to flip a house without ever owning it.

If any of your listeners have ever watched HGTV flip this house or any of those flipping shows, the way that you flip a house is you buy it, then you renovate it, then you sell it, and you pay back everything you owe.

Well, with what I call innovation, it's the ability to get the property under contract, and the contract gives you the right as the investor to renovate the home.

And once you're done renovating it, you put it on the market, and the amount of money that the house sells for is yours, minus what you owe the seller.

So, for example, I had a client, he got a property under contract for 200,000.

I'm going to make the numbers easy.

He got under contract for 200,000, he put $100,000 into it.

So now he's at the total price of 300,000 and it sold for 400,000.

Well, at closing, when the end person paid 400,000, 200 goes to the seller, 200 goes to the investor, and he reimburses himself for the 100,000 he spent on renovation, and then the other hundred goes to him as profit.

He never bought the house.

He never qualified for a loan.

He was able to buy the property.

Excuse me, he was able to flip the property without ever owning it.

So the only investment is the investment in the updates is whatever renovations or updates he did.

And, you know, small closing costs, like what it costs to have an attorney draft a contract for you.

So ancillary costs like that.

But that strategy right there, it's called different things around the country, but that strategy where essentially you're getting a home under contract, you're never buying it, you're able to renovate it, and then you sell it for more money and you make the difference, is a game changer for any investor.

Any woman who wants to flip a house but can't qualify for the loan or doesn't know where to find the money for the loan, but if they have the money for the rehab or can borrow the money for the rehab, you're significantly decreasing how much money or liquidity you have to have to buy the home.

And then the last strategy is called subject to existing financing.

It's a huge buzzword in today's real estate industry, and it's purchasing a home while keeping the seller's mortgage in place.

There's a lot of rules around that.

There's a lot of risk around that.

And so I would recommend to anyone who wants to do that type of transaction to hire an attorney whose niche in practice is in that type of sector so that the documentation is done correctly because there's a lot of laws around it.

But that's creative financing in a very small niche for you.

So, so you were saying before that you can really get started without a lot of money up front.

And so tell us, tell us a little bit about how, how you recommend people get started with this idea and these strategies in your, in your workshops.

What advice you give to, to women.

Well, the very first thing I would say is to educate yourself and educate yourself from reputable sources.

And so that means seeking out an attorney in your area or if you.

Or an attorney like myself who could help educate you.

It's about surrounding yourself with the correct type of environment.

Every state across the U.S.

no matter where your listeners are listening from, has a real estate investor association.

And some states have multiple.

So I would suggest, number one is that a woman who's listening to this get involved in their local community, in their local investor groups, whether it be joining the real estate investment group.

There's tons of Facebook investor groups, though.

You have to be careful who you, you know, involve yourself with on social media and whether or not they're reputable.

But there's lots of resources.

There's also online gurus, which again, you need to research them and make sure that they're legitimate.

I am developing an online course as well because I know that women outside of my area could benefit from the education that I offer.

So that's something that is long term, it's coming, but it's not in the near future, maybe a year out or so.

I think that's great.

And yeah, I'd love to partner to help you get that up and going because it's so important and valuable for women to have it and be able to access it.

So if somebody is interested in learning about this kind of thing, would they.

Are you taking people to talk to you about it?

Are you willing to coach people on it?

Is that something you're willing to do or would you prefer to send them elsewhere?

What is your desire around that?

So as it concerns the law, I'm only licensed in Connecticut and Massachusetts, so if someone lives in Connecticut or Massachusetts, I can offer legal advice if they hire me as their attorney.

For anybody else who doesn't live in those two states but is interested in this type of information, they could hire me as a consultant.

So I would not be their attorney.

It would not be legal advice, but I could give.

I could consult them and give them basic information that they would then need to take back to their home state and confirm with a real estate attorney who understands this type of investing that what I'm showing them and teaching them works in their state.

The concepts are the same across the nation, but it's the nuances per state, which is where things can get difficult.

And that's why having local, a local attorney is so important.

But yes, I do offer consultations and can assist in that way.

And so, and I know people can also follow you on, on the social channels on LinkedIn and Instagram, Facebook, are those the primary places they should go?

Those, yes.

I'm most active on Facebook and Instagram, but I also have LinkedIn.

Yes.

Okay, great.

And so, and are there.

So what?

I, you know, I'm not at all an expert in real estate, but this is pretty specific stuff.

So it's not like you just go to your run of the mill real estate attorney, right.

Like Joette, you've been studying this for 20 years.

And so this isn't just your typical I'm buying an apartment or I'm selling my house.

This is different.

And so you really have to find someone that specializes in this.

Right.

It's not just any real estate attorney.

It is not just any real estate attorney.

And what I would say is, you know, in my home state of Connecticut, I don't think I could even count on one hand how many attorneys really understand this niche.

This is a very small niche of the law.

It's very specific.

And if you were to call, you know, Joe Schmo down the street who is a real estate attorney and ask him, hey, can you do this?

A lot of attorneys are risk averse, right?

So they're going to tell you, no, no, don't do that.

And that's primarily because they're not familiar and they haven't studied this type of financing.

And so just because you call an attorney who says you can't do that, it doesn't necessarily mean that you really have to find an attorney who specifically practices this area of the law very similar to a doctor.

You're not going to go to a brain surgeon and ask him questions about your foot or vice versa.

Right.

So you have to have the right kind of attorney, you know, as you would the right kind of doctor.

Great.

And so you've given us the really great advice to find out about our local or state real estate associations.

Are there other, you say that there, you know, some people that you, that you listen to.

Are there certain voices on YouTube or mailing lists that you recommend or anybody that you would recommend that we do tap into, that would be a good voice that you recommend.

So a great resource for beginner investors is any of the Bigger Pockets podcast.

Now the Bigger Pockets, they have several different podcasts and they tailor the podcast to their guest, right.

So whatever their guests specialty is.

And so I would say that those are a great source.

But then if you want to know more about creative finance, you would look for the topic of the get the podcast guest who specializes in that.

So Bigger pockets is great.

I also follow the real estate Invest her podcast that is a real, a nationwide real estate investment community for female real estate investors specifically.

And same thing with that community is that they have lots of women who invest in all different types of real estate.

And so you need to find the women in that community that specifically speak about what I'm talking about.

I was one of the podcast guests on the Invest her podcast, so you could certainly find me there if they have any more, if your listeners have any more interest in hearing what I have to talk about.

And in that scenario, I talk a lot about the mobile homes and I also talk about purchasing real estate from probate, which is when a person has passed away, how to buy from an estate and how to capitalize on that.

So those are the two major ones.

And then of course your local real estate investor association.

I think that those groups will bring very reputable people through the community as well.

What are you investing in right now?

What are you interested in in terms of your own personal, you know, exploration?

So we have ourselves acquired a portfolio from everything that's small single family homes to larger apartment buildings and everything in between.

And we've been doing that for, we've been married 11 years and we were kind of acquiring while we were dating.

So that's been the past 15 years that we've been together.

We've been doing that.

But what has really piqued my interest lately is conversions.

So, you know, buying small commercial properties like motels and then turning them into apartments for affordable living.

Like a single mom who might have a child and she can't afford full boat rent on a two bedroom in her community, but maybe she can afford a small motel size room where she and her child can share the room together and is able to get further because the rent is cheaper.

I love that.

My goodness.

And so you're doing more of that now, you're starting to get into the conversions?

Yes, we're moving into that industry and it's really exciting.

I, I don't necessarily know that I want to keep running the law firm.

I think if I would, if I could get out there and educate more women and do more real estate investments, then practicing the law has been great and it's been very good to me.

But it's not where my passion lies.

My passion lies with empowering women and Helping change their legacies and the law degree is something that I use to my advantage and my clients advantage to do that.

But I really enjoy educating and empowering other women.

Oh my goodness.

I see the future in you.

Like it's just so, it's so clear.

You know, sometimes you can just see the, see, see what's coming and your passion is clear.

Like, you know, this is the thing.

Sometimes, sometimes we are gifted with a passion and clarity and gosh, when we are, we're so fortunate.

And like you had that clarity and it kind of struck early on about what you're interested in and you've kept going and going and sometimes it's hard to see that.

Right.

And you've taken a lot of different paths along the way and you had to make some big decisions to keep kind of forging ahead.

But it's just exciting.

I can't wait to see what unfolds for you over the next year and beyond and how you help more and more people.

This conversions thing, helping more.

You know, there's, there's such a big thing in the, in the larger real estate community.

Thinking about community based living and that kind of thing too.

That's kind of a thing, right?

That's a.

Yeah, it is.

It, you know, more living in areas where you can walk to the grocery store, walk to things is becoming more and more popular.

But also having it be affordable, I mean, there is, where I live, there is a large need for affordable housing.

And so when I say affordable housing, I don't necessarily mean government based living or government assisted living.

My mom is a very proud woman.

And while we were poor, she worked and worked and worked and we didn't actually receive government assistance.

Now there's nothing wrong with government assistance and we could certainly have benefited from it, but she didn't use that avenue.

And when I talk about affordable housing, I'm not talking about government assisted housing, though that is an area that can be explored and can be profitable for some investors.

When I say affordable housing, I just mean your mom who has a child or and is just, I don't know, maybe she's a waitress, maybe she's a male woman, maybe she's whatever and she's just having trouble making, you know, her expenses meet her income.

And so how do we offer a situation or a living alternative for her where maybe she doesn't have a huge sprawling house, but it fits within her budget and gives her the opportunity to provide a safe place for her child to grow up, just like my mom did.

Me.

Yeah.

Well, and I, my, and I've told you this, I love this idea so much that you know all about this.

I have such a desire to help you pull together women who want to invest and you in running a fund.

Like that's what my dream is.

Because I don't know that I'm ever going to get to the point where I'm going to go find those mobile homes myself.

Some listeners will, but I think they'd be really cool to be able to say, hey Joette, let's all pull together some money and you go do this.

We're going to put that on the horizon too.

We're going to co create that right.

Future discussion.

I would love to have it.

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

So, all right, so final lasting words of wisdom for women founders in the world.

Creating prosperity, creating businesses.

What would you like to leave?

What have you learned on your journey to get you where you are?

And what would you, what would you offer as as simple.

I would say that there's a lot of paths and a lot of ways for women to create prosperity in their life.

Financial prosperity specifically.

And as a woman, as you're considering what to do and what way to achieve that, please don't leave real estate out.

Real estate has made more millionaires than any other strategy or any other industry historically.

And so as a woman, please make sure that you're including real estate in your strategy.

It is in a phenomenal way to change your legacy in just one generation.

My mom came here from the, from Vietnam with $3.50 in her pocket.

And I'm now a lawyer with a large portfolio that I can leave to my children.

So don't leave real estate out.

And if you want to learn about how to do real estate the non traditional way so that whatever monies you have can go and can stretch as far as possible.

Explore creative financing from reputable sources like myself or the podcast that I've talked about.

That's great.

So tell us how we can, what's your, what's your website where people can find you?

My website is my last name law, so www.trin.law.

i'm also on social media, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn like we talked about.

Those are the main ways to get ahold of me.

I post on social media all the time, so you can certainly follow me and see what's going on.

Wonderful.

And you write great articles.

You can go to your website.

There's some great articles written there on your blog.

So you know, everybody can sort of tap in.

And I encourage you to reach out to Joette.

If you're, if you're thinking about going down this path, partner with her and she can consult with you.

She can help you get started and put your, put your dollars together and move towards, you know, creating more prosperity and legacy for yourself.

You know, here we are, it's a great wealth, you know, transition happening right now and you know women are going to have more than 60% of the total assets in 10 years.

So let's get ourselves knowledgeable now as a first step, right?
