I got the opportunity to go talk with some Barber students in Houston a couple a weeks ago and it went great.

Building a new shop, just wanted to give my Wealth Building Barber a sneak peek but I will be posting more so stay tuned.

I became a student to investing Jan 2024.. I studied the Market all year and decided 2025 I will begin investing in my future..I started this portfolio 6month ago and I can believe the power of the stock market .. I gain more interest on my money in 6month then the bank will give you if had your money saved in a year. So if you never thought about investing in your future get informed first… and take control of your Future … (Mr.809)

As you can see my profits has went down a little but nothing to panic about, the stock market goes up more then it goes down. The goal is to sit your money in a company and let it keep gaining interest, just think about it if I had this money in the bank the bank would of only gave me 0.03% for my money sitting there, as you can see my lowest position is up 4% and my highest position is up 135% so where would you prefer to keep your savings sitting at?

From Broke to Buildings: How Marcus Turner Built Real Estate Wealth from the Ground Up Marcus Turner grew up in a low-income neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. With no silver spoon, he worked two jobs out of high school just to make ends meet. But one thing kept pulling at him—real estate. He saw landlords collecting rent every month and thought, “Why can’t that be me?” At 24, Marcus saved $8,000 by cutting expenses and picking up extra shifts. He bought his first property—an old duplex in need of repairs. He lived in one unit and rented out the other, using the rental income to cover his mortgage. That one move changed everything. Over the next 10 years, Marcus used the BRRRR strategy—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. He reinvested every dollar. No flashy cars, no vacations—just bricks, beams, and blueprints. He learned how to work with contractors, analyze deals, and negotiate with lenders. Today, Marcus owns over 60 rental units, a property management company, and a portfolio worth over $10 million. He teaches others in his community how to invest, proving that with discipline, knowledge, and grit, real estate can be a tool to build generational wealth. His advice: “Start small. Learn the game. Don’t try to get rich quick—get rich smart.”
