Profile of a BREW Investor:
Simon and Angela Castillo

What inspired you to become interested in real estate investing?


My parents had very modest backgrounds; my mom was from Mexico and my dad was a truck driver. They never had the opportunity to dream big, so for me, it provided an opportunity to build generational wealth.
 

Tell us about one of your favorite real estate transactions


There was a family that contacted me as a result of one of my marketing methods. The homeowner had lost his job and the family was behind on their mortgage payments. They wanted to move back to Louisiana to be with their family and needed to sell their house, but they had little equity in the home. I was able to find their pain points and provide a solution. I bought their property subject-to, caught up on their mortgage payments, and paid for their moving expenses. Thankfully, they were responsible homeowners, so the property was in excellent condition. I was able to rent out the property for several years and it cash-flowed and appreciated nicely. Eventually I was able to refinance the property into my own name and pay off the underlying loan.
 

Do you have any real estate mantras, rules, or words of wisdom you try to follow in your investing?


Real estate is about building relationships and being able to solve problems.
 

Please share a favorite business or real estate-related resource.


A couple podcasts I really like are Get Rich Education: Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing with Keith Weinhold and The Apartment Building Investing podcast with Michael Blank.  A couple books I like are The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller and Trump: The Art of the Deal. We also love the BREW meetup as well as the Real Estate Group of San Antonio meetup with Rick Pozos.
 

What do you like to do during your "off" time?


We like to spend time with our son Samuel, watching him play baseball while he's attending Southwestern University. Some of Simon's free-time passions include learning and mentorship, being a music aficionado, fitness, and watching live sports. Angela's free time passions include creating art, baking, and exploring the outdoors. We are also both big movie buffs, especially Marvel movies.

What else would you like your fellow meetup members to know about you?

Our goal this year was to figure out how to scale our real estate business. So far, we've done that by launching our own branded website and doing more marketing. The biggest shift we made this year, in order to scale, was moving into multi-family syndications. Our goal now is to sponsor a syndication deal for at least 100 units within the next year.


What is the best way for someone to get in contact with you?

Reach out to us if you are interested in investing passively in multi-family.

This Month's Book:
LEARN:

Books read in July
The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel Housel is great at observing how people behave with money and he shares these observations through short stories either by experience or through exploring history for examples. The book combines money lessons with real-life examples and Housel is a good storyteller. Each chapter in the book is designed to "stand on its own" which might be great if you want to read it one chapter at a time, but personally, I found it hard to find a flow as I wanted to read it straight through and emerse myself in the book. I certainly enjoyed the book and would recommend it, but admittingly, I found his podcast interviews far and away the most fascinating. 3 out of 5 cheers! 
Influence, The Psychology of Persuasion, Robert B. Cialdini, PH.D. If the title interests you, I think you will definitely enjoy this book! Influence is a deep dive into the six universal principles of influence (reciprocation, commitment & consistency, social proof, liking, authority, scarcity). For each principle, Dr. Cialdini cites several fascinating studies that have explored the specific principle of influence. The more I learn about the specific six influences, the more I see them in everyday life and find myself intrigued with how I might be influenced! 4 out of 5 Cheers!
