How To Find The Right Real Estate Room
One thing we’ve learned fast…
You can’t build at a high level while standing in the wrong room.
Not every room is built the same.
Not every community pushes you the same.
And not every “tribe” gives you access to people who are actually doing the thing.
That’s why Vin and I have always said: find your tribe, get around the right people, and make sure the room matches the direction you’re trying to grow.
This year, we’ve really leaned into ’s ecosystem because it has different rooms for different seasons of growth.
If you’re trying to learn creative real estate, there’s .
If you’re trying to understand private money, lending, and how the money side of real estate works, there’s .
If you’re already a business owner and you’re looking for high-level relationships, partnerships, and rooms where people are building real businesses, there’s Owners Club.
That matters.
Because sometimes people think they’re stuck…
but really, they’re just in the wrong environment.
The right room can change your conversations.
The right tribe can change your standards.
The right mentor can help you see what’s possible before you can see it for yourself.
And no, the room won’t do the work for you.
But the right room can absolutely help you move differently.
So ask yourself honestly:
Are you around people who are helping you grow?
Or are you still trying to figure everything out alone?

How We Protected Investor Capital By Walking Away From A Bad Deal
Something did not sit right.
We had already worked the deal.
The presentation was ready.
The club Zoom was scheduled for that afternoon.
And then the underwriting started talking louder than the excitement.
There was one piece of the deal that kept bothering us. Not because we were trying to be negative. Not because we wanted to kill momentum. But because it did not look like it was going to be in the best interest of the club.
And when you are working with investor capital, “almost good enough” is not good enough.
So we backed off.
Was it frustrating? Absolutely.
When you spend time chasing a deal, building the presentation, coordinating with borrowers, and preparing to bring it to the club, walking away feels heavy for a minute.
But the very next day, the borrowers came back and confirmed the exact thing we were worried about.
That was the lesson.
Underwriting is not just math.
It is protection.
It protects the club.
It protects the capital.
It protects relationships.
And sometimes, it protects you from a deal that looked good until you slowed down long enough to see the crack.

We would rather cancel a presentation than force a bad deal just because the slide deck was already done.
That is the part people do not always see in real estate investing and private money lending.
The deals we do not do matter just as much as the ones we do.
If you are trying to learn how to review real estate deals, lend private money, or protect investor capital, comment UNDERWRITE and we will keep sharing the real behind-the-scenes lessons most people skip.

I don’t buy purses. I buy houses. 🏡
I used to tell Vin, “I don’t buy purses… I buy houses.” 😂🏡
And I meant it.
Together, we started as buy-and-hold real estate investors. We built mid-term rentals here in San Antonio, Texas. Vin came from the fix-and-flip world in California, so buy-and-hold wasn’t always the lane he was used to.
But time taught us something big:
Slow and steady works…
but purpose moves different.
When I first got into real estate, I had this mindset of, “I don’t need anybody. I’ll do it myself.”
As a Latina getting into real estate, I didn’t want to borrow money. I didn’t want to depend on anyone. I wanted to prove I could figure it out.
Then Vin told me something I did not want to hear:
“At the speed you’re buying real estate, you’re going to run out of money.”
I said, “No I’m not.”
He said, “Okay… come to me when you do.” 😅
Well… he was RIGHT!
That opened the door to capital raising, private money, and building relationships with people who wanted to be part of something bigger.
On the residential side alone, we’ve been able to raise over **$10 million in the last 12 months**.
But the biggest lesson?
The money matters — but the mission matters more.
In San Antonio, known as Military City USA, we’ve helped with housing for military families, displaced families, traveling professionals, and now we’re stepping deeper into housing for aged-out foster youth.
And that lane hits different.
Because when you’re working with nonprofits and communities that serve people who have already been through trauma, you can’t just pop up and say, “Hey, we’re here.”
They need to see you.
They need to vet you.
They need consistency.
They need to know you’re not just another person showing up for a photo op or a quick win.
That’s the part most people miss.
Impact real estate is not just about finding the property.
It’s about trust.
It’s about relationships.
It’s about showing up long enough for people to believe you’re serious.
And that’s the lane we’re in now.
If you’re an investor, lender, nonprofit, or community partner who wants to be part of housing solutions that actually help people, DM us **IMPACT**.

Real Estate Has a Face.
This one made us slow down for a second.
We walked one of our quadplex properties here in San Antonio with two guys from a nonprofit out of Dallas.
One is the founder.
The younger one is 20 now, aged out of foster care, and the founder has been his foster dad for the last 10 years.
Watching the two of them together said more than any pitch deck ever could.
And what really stuck with us?
He loved every home we walked him through.
Every single one.
Not in a dramatic way. Not in some “made-for-TV” moment.
Just a real moment.
A young man walking through a home and seeing possibility.
That hit us.
Because we can talk all day about real estate, master leases, lending, partnerships, units, numbers, and models…
But when there’s a real person standing in the doorway, it changes the way you look at the whole thing.
We’re not coming into this acting like we have it all figured out.
We don’t.
We’re learning. We’re listening. We’re asking better questions. We’re building relationships with people who have been doing the work long before we got here.
But this made one thing very clear:
This model WILL work.
With the right partnerships, the right structure, the right capital, and the right heart behind it… this can become something real for aged-out foster youth and young adults transitioning into the next chapter of life.
And honestly, having a face connected to the people this could serve only motivated us more.
Being in the right rooms matters.
Having your thinking expanded matters.
But eventually, you have to walk the property, meet the people, and do the work.
That’s where it becomes real.

If you don’t have a Vin or Michelle… become one. 🔥
There have been plenty of times where Vin has pushed me… and plenty of times where I’ve pushed him.
We’re not perfect. We’re different.
And honestly, that’s part of why it works.
In real estate, there have been moments where we’ll see a house that looks abandoned, and Vin will say, “Let’s go knock on the door.”
And I’m like… absolutely not. 😅
But then he goes and does it anyway.
And then I go right behind him.
And next thing you know, there’s a conversation… and sometimes even a deal.
That’s how so much of life and business works.
It’s not always that fearless people have some magic power.
Sometimes they just move first.
And before Vin was in my life, I had those moments too. I’d go to networking events with friends and think, let’s be intentional. Let’s stop just showing up and actually start connecting.
Because opportunities don’t always come from sitting back and hoping.
A lot of times, they come from the uncomfortable moment where you decide to walk up, knock, speak first, introduce yourself, or take the shot.
So for those of you saying,
“Well, I don’t have a Vin in my life.”
Or, “I don’t have a Michelle in my life.”
Then be that person.
Be the one who walks first.
Be the one who starts the conversation.
Be the one who creates momentum.
Because sometimes the only thing standing between where you are and the next opportunity… is one bold move.

We walked into a sober living home… and walked out humbled.
Recently, we had the opportunity to tour a sober living home here in San Antonio, and wow… we left humbled.
A lot of people hear “sober living” and instantly make assumptions. But being there in person was a completely different experience.
The people in the home were amazing.
The people running it were amazing.
And getting to meet the owner of both the house and the business made it even more meaningful.
You could feel the care.
You could feel the structure.
You could feel the heart behind it.
We’re so thankful for people who are willing to open their doors, walk us through their property, share what they’ve built, and help draw the blueprint for what serving people well can actually look like.
More than anything, we’re thankful to be in a lane where we get to be of service to our local community and to people who truly need support, stability, and a real second chance.
This experience reminded us that real estate can be about so much more than property.
It can be about impact.
It can be about dignity.
It can be about helping people rebuild.

The deal isn’t dead. Your funding probably is. 💸➡️🏚️➡️💰 This wasn’t just a house tour.🏠💥
One of the biggest problems in real estate is not always the deal.
It is the funding.
You can find a solid opportunity.
You can know what to do.
You can have the vision.
But if the money is not lined up, the whole thing stalls.
That is exactly why Amigos Funding Club matters.
As we walked these properties, it is a reminder of how many projects, pivots, rehabs, and opportunities become possible when funding is no longer the thing holding you back.
And that is the whole point.
We created what we wish we had early in our careers.
Not more noise.
Not more theory.
Not more people telling you “good luck.”
A real resource.
A real relationship.
A real path to help get projects funded.
Because when funding is handled, you move differently.
You can make stronger offers.
You can move faster.
You can stop losing momentum on deals that should have happened.
This is for the investor with a fix and flip.
The operator trying to scale.
The buyer who is tired of seeing good opportunities die on the vine because capital was missing.
We know that pain.
That is why we built something to help solve it.
If funding has been one of the biggest issues in your real estate business, comment AMIGOS below.
Let’s talk about how Amigos Funding Club can help fund your next project. 🚀

I thought we were heading to a regular meeting with our business partners.

Normal address? No.
Normal conversation? Definitely not.

They asked us to meet at a different location than usual, and when we got there, we realized this was not just another sit-down. This was something much bigger.

What they showed us was a piece of land that had originally been designed for tiny homes. There’s already one home on the property, and it’s beautiful. It was built as the proof of concept.

But what really got me was the conversation around what this could become.

We’re now talking about the potential of turning it into a tiny sober living village with a community center… a space that could truly serve people, pour back into our city, and give individuals a real sense of dignity, support, and community. There’s even been conversation around adding office or meeting space there too.

I don’t take moments like this lightly.

Because to me, this is what can happen when you stay consistent… when you keep showing up… when you keep your word… and when you align yourself with people who are building with vision and integrity.

That part matters.

We are already involved in a ground-up construction project centered around housing for aged-out foster youth.

And now to potentially be part of this too?
It honestly feels surreal.

I’m grateful.
I’m humbled.
And I’m reminded all over again that being in the right rooms with the right people can change everything.

At that point, growth is no longer a question of if it’s coming.
The question becomes whether you’re ready for how fast it can all start moving.

This one means a lot to me.
Because yes, it’s real estate.
But more than that… it’s impact. It’s vision. It’s purpose.

And that will always matter more. 🤍

Have you ever had a moment where one conversation changed the direction of everything?

We did not expect to be looking at a senior living opportunity like this… and now we can’t stop thinking about it. 👀
It is wild what can happen when you stay intentional, stay in the right rooms, and stay focused on who you are actually called to serve.
Recently, we were invited to walk a senior living opportunity, and I left genuinely blown away.
This property sits on more than 25 acres and already serves over 100 independent seniors. It also has close to 300 senior apartments and more than 200 homes for the 55+ community, all on the same property.
And what made it so powerful to me was not just the size.
It was the thought behind it.
This place was built in a way that allows someone to age with dignity and transition as life changes. They can start in a home, move into an apartment later, and then step into more care if and when they need it, all without having to leave the community they already know.
That means something.
And then there were the details…
An on-site bar.
A movie theater.
A conference center.
A laundry facility.
For a property that is several years old, this was one of the best-kept, most impressive facilities I have ever walked.
You could feel the care.
You could feel the pride.
And after getting to meet one of the owners, it made even more sense. He was an absolute rock star. You can tell this has never been just another property to him. There is real passion there, real heart, and a real standard behind what has been built over the last 25+ years. At the same time, you can also tell he is looking ahead to the next phase of life.
That is where the conversation gets really interesting.
We are now having early discussions around what it could look like to potentially step into this opportunity through creative finance.
Will it happen? I do not know yet.
But even being in the room for a conversation like this is a reminder that some of the biggest opportunities in life and business do not come from forcing things.
They come from alignment.
They come from relationships.
They come from staying intentional.
And they come from being in the kinds of rooms that can open doors you never saw coming.
No matter what happens with this one, I am grateful we got to see it, walk it, and be part of the conversation.
This one is special.
Stay tuned. ✨

𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽… 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 💼🔥

Hey guys, it’s Michelle 👋

We’re out here in Lakeway, Texas… and this right here is exactly why we got into real estate.

I had a girls weekend…
But let me be real with you—it wasn’t just a girls weekend.

Every conversation? Real estate.
Every stop? Looking at properties.
Every moment? Leveling up.

And that’s the difference.

Because when you get in the right room…
You stop wishing for opportunities and start walking into them.

That’s why we created our Women in Real Estate community.

Not just another group.
Not just motivation.

We’re talking:
✔️ Coffee hours every Monday & Wednesday
✔️ Guest speakers actually doing deals
✔️ Learning how to raise capital
✔️ Exposure to multi-family, commercial, and more
✔️ Real collaboration with women who are serious

And yes… it’s for women only.

Because there’s power in having a space where you can show up, ask questions, grow, and actually be seen.

If you’ve ever said:
“I want to own property…”
“I want to be around people doing more…”
“I want to learn how to really do this…”

This is your next move.

It’s free right now.
But as we continue to build this out and bring more value—it won’t stay that way.

So don’t wait.

Get in the room now.

We’ll see you inside 💬

$𝟭𝟬𝙈 𝘾𝙡𝙪𝙗… 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙄𝙩

There was a moment… our names got called—Michelle & Vin... Amigos Investment Club Co-Founders
Standing there… looking out at the room… with Pace Morby and Jamil Damji right there…
And for a second, everything slowed down.
Not because of the spotlight.
Not because of the recognition.
But because we knew exactly what it meant.
A year ago… this wasn’t a “thing.”
No big community.
No awards.
No $10M Club.
Just a simple conversation…
“What if we actually did this the right way?”
👉 What if lenders were actually protected… not pitched?
👉 What if deals weren’t just profitable… but purposeful?
👉 What if we could build something where capital grows AND people’s lives change?
That was it.
No hype.
No shortcuts.
Just a decision to do things differently.
Fast forward to today…
We’ve now been recognized in the $10 Million Club…
And recently named Power Player of the Year inside the Fractional community.
But here’s the truth most people won’t say:
This has nothing to do with us.
This belongs to every single person who trusted us early…
Before the recognition… before the momentum… before it looked like this.
The ones who said,
“I see what you’re building… let’s run.”
Because of that…
We’ve been able to help fund impact-driven projects across the country — Mostly Co-Living/Affordable Housing Projects!
Projects that don’t just generate returns…
But actually serve real people. Real communities.
And at the same time…
Do right by the very people who made it possible in the first place.
That’s the part we’re most proud of.
Because raising money is easy.
Protecting it… growing it… and carrying that responsibility the right way?
That’s a different game.
And now?
What started as an idea…
Has turned into one of the largest communities on the platform—
By both people AND dollars deployed.
Let that sink in.
But don’t get it twisted…
This isn’t the peak.
This is the starting line..
We’re just now hitting stride.
Just now seeing what’s possible when the right people align.
Just now opening doors that weren’t even visible a year ago.
And the next phase of Amigos?
It’s going to separate everything.
Different deals.
Different structure.
Different level of opportunity..
If you’ve been watching quietly…
Trying to “figure it out”…
Waiting for the right time…
Just understand—
The people inside this community didn’t wait for perfect.
They moved when it made sense.
And now they’re part of something that’s growing faster than most people realize.
We’re grateful. Truly.
For the trust.
For the relationships.
For everyone who’s been part of this from day one.
If you’re even a little curious about what we’re building next…
Don’t overthink it.
Just take a look.
👉 amigosinvestment.club
Next Amigos round is coming…
And it won’t look anything like the last one. 👀🔥
