Life Loss and Real Estate - The Path to Empowerment
Life Loss and Real Estate: The Path to Empowerment is a deeply personal podcast that goes beyond the surface of business and real estate. Hosted by yours truly Arcelie at AZ One Stop Real Estate, your Property Neighborhood Specialist. This podcast narrates my real-life journey from the moment I set foot in the US. It’s a story of adapting to a new culture, stumbling upon the unpredictable world of real estate, and navigating the rollercoaster of building and rebuilding a life and a career. A year after I arrived in the US, I faced the difficulties of the 2007 – 2008 global financial crisis. The crisis led to a severe economic recession, with millions of people losing their jobs and many businesses going bankrupt.
We had to quickly restructure our business model to adapt to the current economy. The new strategies we implemented successfully allowed us as a company to overcome the economic challenges of housing and thrive in the demanding market. This podcast offers a vivid account of my professional journey, including helping implement innovative business strategies, our team’s growth, and our company’s real estate portfolio. However, the heart of this podcast lies in my personal experiences – the highs and lows, the real-life trials and triumphs. I will share and walk you through different chapters of my life. This chapter is where I experienced the highs of my career, a happy married life, and the pure happiness of being a mother. I will also share the chapter where I experienced the pain of betrayal by those I trusted, the threat of losing the business and career that I had put my heart and soul into helping build and grow, overcoming the loss of my mother, the turmoil of divorce, single motherhood, and the sudden and tragic passing of my former spouse, which left me with the daunting task of managing his complex and disordered estate and business affairs. These stories are not just narratives but lessons in perseverance, strength, and the relentless pursuit of overcoming adversity.
This is more than just a guide to financial freedom; it’s a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to endure and grow. Join me as I guide you through each chapter of my life and career. I will offer insights and advice in overcoming obstacles and achieving personal & financial freedom. In this podcast we will also dive into Phoenix Real Market. I will share information I learned over the last 18 years in Real Estate Investing, different tools I’m using to evaluate a property including the use of Cromford Housing Market Indicators as a Guide in Buying Real Estate. How to buy Phoenix Real Estate using traditional financing or your IRA/401k. How to identify & buy distressed pre-foreclosure properties. What to look for in renovating your investment property. The pros and cons of being a landlord. How to find the right property management company and more….. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking to empower themselves through real estate, personal growth, and the courage to start anew.
