Summary
What should retirement planning look like? How can I invest if I am still paying off student loan debt? What makes a perfectly diversified portfolio? And when is the right time to pay off my rental properties? We went to the BiggerPockets Money Facebook Group to ask what you would like to know from a money expert. And thankfully, we found a couple of them who are friends of the show. Amanda Wolfe and Kyle Mast are here to answer some of your most-asked money questions!
Amanda Wolfe was recently a guest on the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, sharing her story of reaching financial freedom after going through serious financial struggles and childhood poverty. Kyle Mast, Certified Financial Planner, has recently “retired” after helping his clients reach their financial goals with minimal stress and maximum freedom. They’re helping Mindy on today’s show to take questions directly from listeners about everything ranging from real estate to retirement planning and never feeling like you have enough.
If you’ve struggled not knowing how to pay down debt, how much cash to have on hand, or are having a mental block when switching from saving to spending mode, this episode could alleviate your worries. If you’d like to get more connected with the BiggerPockets Money community and potentially get your questions answered on a future show, be sure to join the BiggerPockets Money Facebook Group!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bigger Pockets Money Podcast where we are answering your money questions with Kyle |
| 0:05.8 | Mast and Amanda Wolfe, the She Wolf of Wall Street. But one of the best things you can do is maybe |
| 0:10.4 | transition at your current job. If you're a valuable employee, a lot of employers would love to have |
| 0:15.7 | you for a year or two in a part-time capacity where they don't have to pay you benefits, but you still |
| 0:20.5 | get paid really well. And then now you're able to kind of watch your budget for a year or two as |
| 0:26.5 | you're in part-time. Maybe what you're making almost covers it and you can pull some out of your |
| 0:31.4 | investments or your real estate properties. But this is kind of like a trial run to give you a sense |
| 0:36.7 | of how things look and it's not so scary. Hello, hello, hello, my name is Mindy Dunsett and joining |
| 0:42.7 | me today in the host seat for the first time is the She Wolf of Wall Street, Amanda Wolfe, |
| 0:48.4 | and back for another round is Kyle Mast, C.F.P. We're here to make financial independence less |
| 0:54.8 | scary, less just for somebody else. To introduce you to every money story because we truly believe |

| 1:08.0 | real estate or start your own business. We'll help you reach your financial goals and get money |
| 1:12.8 | out of the way so you can launch yourself towards your dream. Okay, before we get to the show, |
| 1:16.9 | let's hear a word from today's show sponsors. Owning real estate is great, until you have to |
| 1:21.6 | have a tenants, unclog toilets, and hunt down late rent checks. This is why passive investors are |
| 1:26.4 | pulling their capital into multifamily syndications. So together they can buy bigger, better deals |
| 1:31.1 | with far fewer headaches. But which syndication should you trust, BAM Capital? This vertically |
| 1:36.1 | integrated company has historical realized returns of over 30% IRR, over 152 million dollars in |
| 1:43.4 | distributions paid today, and over 1,000 investors across 40 states. BAM Capital focuses on institutional |
