MICHELLE NGO

Michelle grew up in San Francisco, CA, and currently resides with her husband (coach MD) and fur child in Oahu, Hawaii. She worked in Silicon Valley for 10 years (Hitachi, Anaplan, Workday, Oracle) as a financial and sales consultant before leaving her corporate career to invest in real estate full time. She began her experience with real estate when she found a foreclosure notice on her family’s home. She learned all about real estate by helping her family out of financial hardship relating to foreclosures, litigation, back taxes, and trust problems.After working in tech consulting and finance for 10+ years and realizing she wasn’t passionate about her work, she realized her true passion is serving others, specifically in the mental health community. Her family suffered in silence about their mental health challenges, and it was difficult growing up feeling alone and unsupported. 

Her goal is to help others - so they feel less alone navigating these issues. Michelle, and MD decided that real estate investing offered lifestyle freedom - time and financial freedom to allow them to pursue their passions. They started by investing in multi-family rentals part-time, and once she had enough passive income to replace my corporate salary, Michelle finally left her corporate job to focus on investing full time. They opened a company called Lava Integrity Group, and their goal is to “invest with a purpose”. Every year, they donate a portion of our proceeds to mental health charities and regularly volunteer with their team. Their current portfolio consists of 30 properties nationally, including single/multi-family rentals, flipping, Airbnbs, and syndications. 

When they achieved lifestyle freedom, Michelle and MD moved to Oahu to pursue their dream of opening a Mental Health focused Wellness Retreat. They continue to build wealth through their real estate portfolio and are passionate about helping others to achieve lifestyle freedom.

RAYMOND TRAN

Ray Tran is a financial literacy school teacher, wealth/real estate coach, and real estate investor residing in Brooklyn, NY. However, his journey to success was not immediate. After graduating in 2007 with a degree in Financial Economics, Ray began working at Ernst & Young. Despite his initial enthusiasm, he soon realized that the corporate world did not fulfill him. He persisted until 2010 when he quit his corporate job after realizing his true passion was to teach/mentors others. 

Ray then went back to school to obtain a master's degree in Math Education, but unfortunately a few weeks later, a pivotal life-changing moment occurred when Ray’s father was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. As an immigrant from Vietnam with limited resources, Ray’s father worked tirelessly to provide for his family. Unfortunately, Ray’s father passed away 2.5 years later at the age of 60, never having the opportunity to witness his children's marriages or meet his grandchildren. This event served as a wake-up call for Ray, and he became determined to learn from his father's experiences and create passive income streams to spend more time with his loved ones. 

To achieve his goals, Ray began tracking his income and expenses to hold himself accountable. He maximized his contributions to retirement accounts, automated his investments in index funds, deposited funds in high-yield savings accounts, and, most importantly, diversified his portfolio with real estate investments. In his short time in real estate, he has invested in joint ventures, private money lending, turnkeys, BRRRRs, commercial deals and a marina. Those experiences taught him that determination and resourcefulness are key to success, and that there is always a way forward. 

His ultimate aim is to inspire others to break free from the rat race and generate income through asset ownership and passive income streams. Ray is a prime example that you can build wealth regardless of your career path choice. He firmly believes in living a life of abundance, where wealth and knowledge are shared.

JOHN WEI

John, a first-generation Taiwanese American immigrant to the San Francisco Bay Area several years ago, was instilled with the value of frugality and financial acumen by his Asian American upbringing. Since 2003, he has dedicated over two decades to guiding individuals and families as a Certified Financial Planner toward securing their financial futures. It became evident early in his life that he had discovered his true vocation.

While John always recognized the wisdom of diversifying away from conventional investments like stocks and bonds, it wasn't until 2017 when he purchased his first duplex that he fully grasped the potential of real estate investing. Through persistence, hard work, and numerous sleepless nights, John experienced his initial triumph when he sold his Atlanta, Georgia duplex in 2019, doubling his investment. This success illuminated the transformative power of exponential growth and the advantageous tax treatment inherent in real estate ventures.

Shortly after his success with the duplex, John realized that the effort and time required for smaller projects like duplexes, triplexes, and quads were comparable, if not greater, than those needed for larger, more lucrative ventures. This realization prompted him to enroll in an out-of-state multifamily coaching program and immerse himself in the realm of multifamily investing.

Since 2019, John has steadily developed a portfolio comprising over 600 units in Dallas, Texas. His ambition is to expand his personal holdings to encompass 2,500 to 3,000 units in Dallas and, potentially, to establish a private real estate fund in collaboration with close friends who share his vision and interests.

To say the least, John is deeply passionate about multifamily investing and eager to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with others who might find it financially and spiritually fulfilling.
