JuanDavid Sanchez:
You will lose money if you do not do the numbers, if you do not go ahead and understand the cost behind it, the maintenance behind it. And people think it’s easy money. “I’m gonna go ahead and like put my money in a house and you’re gonna start receiving money.” It’s like, no, what? No, you’re working Saturdays and Sundays. Let’s say you’re not an investor, you just buy a house because you need a house to live in. There are things that fall apart in the house, and all of that costs money.
Scott Bursey:

Today we are delighted to be joined by JuanDavid Sanchez, a highly ambitious educator and landlord raised right down in Miami, Florida. JuanDavid has dedicated his life to continuous learning, self-improvement, and helping others elevate their lives, bringing a selfless perspective to the real estate game. Listeners, you can expect to learn how JuanDavid balances education with active investing and uses continuous growth to navigate shifting markets. JuanDavid, welcome to the show.
JuanDavid Sanchez:
Thank you for having me.
Scott Bursey:
It’s wonderful having you here, my friend. And to help us get up to speed, please give us the ninety-second highlight reel of how your career ignited and where you’re pouring your fuel now.
JuanDavid Sanchez:
Okay, so I guess it starts with the conversation: Do you want more money or do you follow your passion, right, when deciding where you go for college? And so you have multiple conversations with multiple people. And I had a conversation with my brother. And he’s like, “You gotta follow your passion.” So the older brother spoke. I listened to the older brother, and I went ahead and followed my passion. I changed my major from finance to education.
And so I’ve been on this journey of going to school and learning how to teach others. And then you get into the educational profession. And I love it, right? You love the kids, you love the interactions, the socialization. When they get it, you’re like, okay, you put all this energy and they’re struggling and then they get it. It’s like that lightbulb moment. It’s like, okay. And so those are the positives behind it all. And so where the investing side comes into all of this is: teachers don’t get paid much. Right. Like they don’t—they don’t get paid much. So I’ve always been naturally—I think mathematics was my best subject in high school and in college and all that stuff. Like it was just easy for me. That’s why I was gonna do finance. And so I was realizing, like, my goodness, I’m not making so much money. And the federal government is taking so much money from me. Like, no, this isn’t okay. This isn’t okay. Like all the work that I’m doing, as much as I love—I love children, right? It’s like there are some kids who cause you stress, right? The knuckleheads. And so I’m not getting what I thought I should deserve.
So I took matters into my own hands. Being the ambitious person that I was, I had this vision of having at least four properties, right? I think my vision has changed over the years, obviously. But the vision was four properties. One I live in, three are investments where I receive rental income. And so I started doing Uber on the side, right? And just making money and working hard, making money. And so within the first year of teaching, I accumulated a good amount of money, and I put it towards a down payment the following year. And yeah, that’s how I got my first property. It was teaching, doing Uber.
Friday nights for me—this was not what my Fridays would end like after a long, long week of teaching. And I was teaching in a school in not the best neighborhood. So some of the kids were amazing, great, awesome. But then there were some who just got to you. And so after dealing with that Monday through Friday, Friday I would go home, take a shower, eat, take a nap, and then when I would wake up, I would do Uber like 10:00 till 5:00 in the morning, right, for Friday nights. And that’s the dedication and the grind you had to do. And this was pre-COVID, right? Like this was pre-COVID.
Then COVID hit that first year. Yeah, I was teaching that first year it did hit. So I was doing that pre-COVID. Then COVID hit. I obviously stopped doing Uber because I was scared if I brought home germs and all this stuff. But pre-COVID, that’s what I was doing, right? And it was a grind. But that grind, that initial sacrifice, allowed me to buy a condo in Miami Beach within one year of teaching, within getting a teacher salary, which you hear all the time, like teachers don’t make enough. I mean they don’t, but in the sense that if you grind it out—this was pre-COVID, obviously. Things have completely changed, and I don’t think I can do that again. Like one year of teaching and then one year of Ubering to get a property, it’ll be very tough to find it because Miami has increasing costs, I think more than any part of the country.
So that’s where I guess my investment really thrived—was that dream I had of owning four properties, but also the reality of not getting paid enough. And what can I do other than teach, which is my passion? Other than doing that, what else could I do? And so you hear enough, you talk to enough people, you read enough books, watch enough podcasts, and people throw that magical word in: investment, right? You gotta invest, you gotta invest. And so what really is investment, right? And you start finding out what it actually is. And so that’s where I’m at pretty much, is figuring out the different ways to invest. Cause there’s not just one way; there’s multiple ways. Some will wait to retirement, right? They’ll do the 30 years. And then there’s others who say, “No, I’m not gonna wait 30 years to get the idea of retirement.”
And so I figured out there are so many ways to invest—from watches to real estate, to the stock market, to crypto, right, to Pokémon cards at this point, right? There are so many ways to invest, and it’s figuring out what works for you. Because I think obviously some people are really good at money and they’ll just do the money thing or whatever makes them the most money. But there’s also a sense of desire and passion when it comes to investing. And so I’ve gravitated towards the real estate side, yeah, because I like houses, I like interior design, right? So it’s a natural fit, it’s a natural flow. It doesn’t feel like work, whereas some investing could, right, if you’re looking at stocks the entire time, like the charts and the candles and up and downs and all that stuff. So yeah, that’s where I’ve gone from teaching passion to investing, and that’s the short version of it, yeah.
Scott Bursey:
Thank you for highlighting that version. What a ride, JuanDavid. And what really caught my attention about you was the way you’ve been able to combine a deep passion for education with hands-on landlord experience to build meaningful connections and uplift others. Taking that a step further, curious to know: what’s your biggest edge when it comes to connecting with everyday tenants and students?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
You gotta talk to them, right. That’s what it comes down to. It’s just you talk to them. That being said, that’s how I keep it simple—is just sometimes the simple answer is you talk to them. And even though kids are different from tenants, right, like kids won’t listen sometimes no matter how rational you can be. Be like, “I have your best interests. I’ll give you extra recess.” “No, I’m still gonna act up and misbehave.” I gave you the rationale, right? But like with a tenant, it’s having a different communication aspect behind it all. It’s like you don’t have to be rational because they’re adults, right? Like we kind of get the common-sense stuff. But it’s more of communicating like, “Hey, my toilet’s not working.” Because there’s a lot of bad landlords, at least here in South Florida—I don’t know the rest of the country. But there’s a lot of landlords who’ll be like, “You deal with it yourself.” They won’t even reply; they won’t even answer.
Creating a great relationship with your tenants is important because you don’t want them to resent you for whatever reason, because you never know how they’ll go about with your property at the very end and that last month. And not only that, it’s like they’re a human being, like they live somewhere. So it’s like, yeah, go fix their toilet. Go fix it. Go ahead and do that. Why are you not fixing their toilet? It’s like, okay, so what if I have to spend fifty or a hundred bucks? You’re making money, plus you could just declare it on taxes. That’s what you do, right? Are you losing money? Are you really? Right. I mean, you are, but don’t be too selfish, right? Don’t be too selfish.
And so I think that communication aspect is key in any relationship—whether it’s teaching little kids or whether it’s talking to a tenant who lives in your property because it’s your property, right? So it’s how you just communicate with them and talk to them. And don’t get too close with your tenant, though, right? Because they’re your tenant. You don’t want to get too close because it’s business at the end of the day. Business is business. And same thing with the students: it’s like they’re not your kids, right? They’re your students. And so you talk to them, you rationale, you give them logical things. But at the end of the day, there is a line, and you try not to cross that line because that’s where you get yourself in trouble with a tenant, with anyone.
I’ve never had issues with tenants. I’ve been fortunate enough, even when certain situations do arise with my tenants, the communication was able to allow that issue that did occur to proceed and go forward, right. I remember a tenant—she lost her job. She told me, she’s like, “I lost my job.” And so I told her—we game-planned, and it was obviously risky on my end. I told her, “Look, don’t worry about this month. Go find a job, right? Go ahead and find a job.” And she did, by the way. She found a job within like a week or two, or whatever it was. But I told her, “I will go ahead and take the money from the security deposit and pay this month’s rent. And what you’re gonna have to do is pay next month’s rent, plus you’re gonna start to have to re-increase the security deposit once again.”
So it’s just those communications, like just talking to them. And obviously, like at least for your tenant, you have to—like students you don’t vet, right, because these are students you’re given. But with tenants, you vet them properly, and you make sure just because they’re the first person that comes in there doesn’t mean you get to go ahead. I had that situation. I’m like, “I don’t like this person’s vibe. No, I know they’re gonna cause problems. No, I probably won’t be able to communicate with these people.” So I think that’s the other part, too. It’s like you have to vet. You have to make sure you vet these people out, right? Like you have to. This is where you gotta get tough and be like, “What’s your credit score? Who’s your last landlord? Tell me all this information. You have a dog? What type of dog is it?” Right?
You wanna know all these little things because they’re going to live in your property for a year and hopefully longer, right? Like my current tenant, she’s been there for three years and we’ve had a great relationship. So it’s that communication behind it all, yeah.
Scott Bursey:
Communication is so essential, JuanDavid. Thank you for highlighting that. And let me switch gears here just a bit. No operation is perfect. Where are you seeing the biggest bottleneck or challenge right now of being a landlord?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
Not so much the tenant. I mean, at least this is my own experience. Cause everyone told me, “Don’t get an HOA. Don’t get an HOA.” So at least with my tenants, I guess the biggest issue I ever had was that I had to kick them out because of the issue of the building, or that situation I just gave you where she lost her job. Other than that, I haven’t had any issues. Like I’ve been very fortunate. I thank the Lord, like, “You’ve given me great tenants.” Because I couldn’t say anything specifically about a tenant where—obviously maybe when I start expanding more, I’ll start dealing with like, “Okay, no matter what, I have to put someone in there because I have to receive money.” So I’ll put someone in there, and then you start realizing, like, man…
But as of right now, I couldn’t tell you anything other than you have to expect that they may lose their job and they may not pay you, right, for whatever circumstances. And at that point, you better have reserves and you better have money just in case, and use their security deposit and then tell them to, yeah. But yeah, have reserves just in case, because the costs are real. The costs are real. And you have to get into politics when you’re talking about investment. You see how politics are going, where everything continues to increase, whether it’s gas, whether it’s taxes—like that’s the reality of it. And so make sure you have money, right? Even though you’re trying to make money and try to save every penny you can, you have to have money just in case, right? Yeah, just in case.
Scott Bursey:
You’re in a very competitive market, South Florida. What do you see as the biggest opportunity in that market?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
Biggest opportunity would be the competition itself, right. And we kind of talked about it pre-show, but it’s knowing that since everyone is competing, no one wants to be left—because someone’s gonna be left holding the bag, right? Someone’s gonna have to pay the bills; someone’s gonna have to do it. Question mark. And I guess that’s where, to answer your question, because there’s so much competition, that competition brings money. And what I’m noticing in South Florida—right, because I’ve been to other parts of the country. I just went to New York in the summer, and I didn’t see the amount of cranes like Miami. I went to—what was it, Nashville? Nashville I saw some cranes, right, when I went. I don’t remember the year; it was two or three years ago. This was all post-COVID.
And Miami, there’s just something going on here. The amount of money that is coming into this city, the question is: will anybody be left paying the bill? Will anyone, will anyone? Right. So that’s the greatest opportunity. It’s like, man, the big fish are here, right? The whales are here; everyone’s here. The small fish will survive, right? We’ll survive. So it’s knowing that. And it’s like, just get in with everyone else. Because through this competition, we’re all going to benefit because we’re all doing what? We’re all spending money, we’re all improving our property values, we’re all doing this. And so as a result, you might as well just get in, and that’s the perfect opportunity. Just get in.
And so I notice where most of the money is going towards in Miami. Obviously Brickell; it’s going west, it’s going west. And being that right on Biscayne, they’re still building buildings. Like, they’re literally getting these buildings that are in perfect condition—like people can be in these buildings and live in these buildings and have office space and everything—they’re tearing them down. “No, these buildings are old, they’re insufficient. Let’s go ahead and build a bigger building.” And so that just tells you everything about what’s going on in Miami. It’s not just moving towards vacant lots—which there are vacant lots. I see them. “There’s a vacant lot there, there’s a vacant lot there.” Like someone can easily buy the property, build a duplex, build a quadplex, build an apartment building.
And knowing that—as much as sometimes I’m like, “These politicians, what are they doing? They’re selling Miami.” And how this game works, that wave is pretty big, and you can catch a couple of fish in this process, right? So I think that’s what it is. It’s like so much money, so much competition, it keeps you on your toes. It’s the Manhattanization of—that’s what’s happening to all these buildings in Miami. But it’s also like that New York mentality of like hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle. But we’re still trying to preserve like that Latin culture, that Latin flair. And so that’s what makes Miami great; it’s the combination of the two. But it’s the money being spent and the competition and all that stuff. It’s like, yeah, just get in there, dude. You’ll be fine. Trust me, you’ll be fine. Like everything will work out. It’s like, okay, and I see so many people scared. It’s like, just get in. Just get in before it gets really expensive. Because I don’t think people understand what’s about to happen. If we’re ready like, “Wow, Miami, this is insane,” you don’t know what’s about to come to this city in 10, 15 years, right? Yeah, this city’s gonna blow up. And that’s where the opportunities are. Like get in here now, yeah.
Scott Bursey:
Appreciate your perspective on that, JuanDavid. Let’s talk about threats for a bit. What sort of risk factors have you been paying the closest attention to recently?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
I guess the biggest threats—you have to somewhat get political—is gas prices. I think that’s number one. Because if gas prices go up, everything goes up. Everything—food, construction costs—because that’s how we transport everything. So the biggest threat is the gas prices. That being said, they’re doable. We can pay them, right? We don’t see people with pitchforks, right? And I think America has handled these situations and these crises before. Like, I’m always comparing the 2020s to the 1970s. And this is where my education background kind of helps me, knowing that I had to teach history. And so you have to know the history. And the history says this is very similar to the 1970s, right, like culturally, economically, right? You can see a similar pattern to it.
And if that is the case, you have to know that we’re going to—I don’t know if to use the term stagflation, right, because it’s a little bit different from the ’70s—but something very similar where maybe wages haven’t kept up, but everything around you is getting more expensive, but the stock market’s going up. The stock market in the ’70s was stagnant, if I remember correctly. But it’s the price of gas, right? And that leads to: “Can I afford my bills? Can I afford food, my clothes, all this stuff?” And then once people start panicking, they don’t spend as much. And if they don’t spend as much, they don’t buy stuff, right? So they’re not circulating the money.
But I’m more of an optimistic person. I see what the Fed’s doing, and although sometimes I criticize them, I think for the most part they do a decent job, right, in certain aspects of the economy and how they see things and how they push things here and there. But the biggest threat is gas prices. At least that’s how I see it. Like if you can lower gas prices, you lower the cost of food, you lower the cost of clothes, you lower the cost of construction materials, you lower the cost of everything. Transportation, right? Yeah. So when you lower that, people are gonna feel good. “Like, I have more money in my wallet; I’m gonna spend more money.” But if they’re worried about gas prices and worried about everything else, well… So yeah, I think gas prices.
Scott Bursey:
JuanDavid, your passion and your energy really resonate. You can almost feel the vibrations across the screen. Let me ask you: what daily habit drives your most important decisions?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
I think the morning routine, yeah, the morning routine. Even though I had to modify it as I’ve gotten older, right, and you add more workload to the shoulders, it’s that morning routine. It’s getting up, knowing that even though you get to undo your bed when you go to bed, making your bed, doing exercise, right? I exercise Mondays—Tuesdays I stopped doing them, but Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, right, I do a workout.
And I think that just—like, I’m doing something starting today productively, right? And also making your bed. It starts—I know it’s like the cliché thing to do, but just make your bed. It’s like, yeah, I’m doing something. And so just get it rolling, right? Like, okay, we’re active, we’re doing stuff. And I think that’s the behavior that really gets me going forward.
But then into my mind, it’s like you have dreams and you read about great men and you read about people who’ve done things in life, and you’re like, “I want to be one of those people. I wanna be one of those people that you read about.” And so I think that, but also just my personality of liking where I live, how it looks, traveling the world—those are nice materialistic things that also feed the ego a little bit. So I think a combination of all those factors—of my behaviors, early morning routines, and having ambition and having a desire and wanting to be remembered or being one of the greats just for doing what you’re passionate about—that speaks volumes. Obviously, there’s more to the whole rationale of having ambition and dreams. You can get into an entire conversation about it, right? But I think it’s that. It’s knowing that you have a dream, you have a passion, you wanna be one of the greats, you wanna go forward. And even if it doesn’t work out, it’s still gonna lead you to a good, decent life, right? You’re still gonna be able to travel the world; you’re still gonna have nice things. So yeah, I think that’s where it’s at, yeah.
Scott Bursey:
JuanDavid, you’re both a teacher and an investor. Walk us down the road of what does your professional network look like right now?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
So I made the biggest mistake, right? I made the biggest mistake. This is my biggest mistake in life, I would say—is, and we talked about it, right? It was in high school. I had friends, obviously, but there were some friends in the friend group where I was just like, “No, I don’t want to hang out with you, and I don’t want to hang out with you, I don’t want to hang out with you.” And so it got in my head like, “People are just terrible, right? People are terrible, people are the worst. I can—I’d rather be by myself. I’d rather have my peace. I’d rather be what it is.” And you grow up and you have that mentality of “I’m gonna do stuff, I’m gonna grind it out.” And not to say I wasn’t successful, right? I was successful in the sense that I was able to attain two properties, right? I was able to grind it out, was able to be a lone wolf, not having the pack around me.
But then you realize, like, okay, I made this step, but I want to be over here, right? I want to be on the top of the mountain. Why am I climbing this mountain by myself if there’s other people who are also climbing the mountain and have a different perspective, a different way of doing things, and can—like, you will provide your own way of doing things and be like, “Hey, you can do this, hey, you can do that.” But then someone comes around and says, “Hey, you can take this shortcut here if you haven’t done it yet, right? Or you can go up this way, or you can have this equipment.”
And so I was realizing like, I’ve climbed very high. I’ve climbed a lot of the mountain, but it’s taken a lot of work, right? And I read a lot, that’s the key, too. And you have to have a lot of mentors, too. Like, having mentors and people to guide you helps a lot. But I was still the lone wolf. I was still the lone wolf. And I came across a book, right? It was a biography of Andrew Jackson. And I was reading about him and how he became so successful, how he became the president of the United States and all this stuff. And what it was, is that he had people around him. He had a network. He had people who helped him, right? It wasn’t just him himself doing all of this stuff. He had pals, he had buddies. Obviously, he had to have people he trusted, but he had people around him.
And so it clicked in my brain, poof: I need to branch out, I need to socialize more, I need to talk to more people, I need a network. I finally get why people tell me going to college is just for networking, because that’s essentially what these people are doing. They’re going to top-tier schools to get a network that has a higher net worth. And so I started branching out, and now I have a great relationship with my realtor. She’s amazing, right? She happened to be the mother of my student. I saw one day that my student posted something, right—she graduated already—so she followed me and she posted something about real estate. I’m like, “Hey, like, can you help me out? I want to sell my place in South Beach and this and that.” And then she’s like, “My mom does all this stuff.”
And so from there, we formed a great connection. And she has my best interest, like she really does. And we’re working together to create—obviously, she’s getting commission, she’s getting paid, she’s benefiting off this relationship, but she’s also helping me in creating a portfolio with the best numbers, right? Because she’s always like, “The numbers, the numbers, the numbers, numbers.” I couldn’t imagine getting the place that I have today if it wasn’t for her, right? Because teachers, you go through the conventional route of getting a conventional loan and FHA, and teachers don’t make enough money in South Florida to afford just a decent, nice place. And so she had to find the way to go around here, to go around there. And she found a way to help me get this second property that I have today.
And so that’s the power of networking. And so I’m trying my very best to speak to everyone, to anybody. You never know who is who, especially in this day and age where people dress in t-shirts in public. You never know what their net worth is. And just talk to people and get to know them and talk to them and socialize. You’ll get a different perspective, be open to different worlds. And I have some friends who are into crypto. I talk to them, even though I sold my Bitcoin. But it’s that, “Okay, you know about crypto. Let me hear what you have to say about crypto, right? You know about real estate. What do you have to say about real estate? You know about the stock market, what do…” And so then you tell them as well, and then from there you build more information, right? And you both can go ahead and say, “Hey, let’s go ahead and make this deal,” or “Let’s go ahead and here, let’s go ahead and there,” and you help each other, right? That’s what it is.
So yeah, that’s where I’m at. My network isn’t the largest, but it’s expanding because you realize the benefit of it. And people are great, even though some people are terrible and they just bring drama into your life and they’re negative. Just as many as there’s bad people, there’s good people as well. And that’s where you gotta put your attention towards—is finding out where those good people are, those people that will help you.
Scott Bursey:
Appreciate you sharing. JuanDavid, let me dive deep. If an investor wanted to scale their portfolio using your educational approach today, what’s the most important mindset shift they should make?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
If they’re gonna use my mindset of education—like, what do you mean per se? Like, are you talking about how I’m a professional, like I’m a teacher and then I’ve gotten into the real estate world? Or are you talking about just my mindset of learning as much information as possible?
Scott Bursey:
What’s the first thing that you would tell them about getting into real estate and building a portfolio?
JuanDavid Sanchez:
The first thing I would say is get your numbers right, yeah, cause it’s numbers. That’s what investing is: it’s numbers and figuring out the best way to maximize the numbers that work for you. A lot of people just say, “I’m gonna be an investor,” and they throw… Even though in the stock market—I don’t remember where I saw, I think it was in Family Guy or something like that, or some other anime or South Park, but it was like a monkey throwing a dart to—yeah, throwing a dart on a balloon or something, and when the balloon popped, they had a stock ticker or the name of the stock, and it’s like, “Invest in that one.” And at least the stock market is a bit different—I wouldn’t buy anything related to Sears—but real estate is a numbers game.
You will lose money if you do not do the numbers, if you do not go ahead and understand the cost behind it, the maintenance behind it. And people think it’s easy money. “I’m gonna go ahead and like put my money in a house and you’re gonna start receiving money.” It’s like, no, what? No. Houses—a house, you’re working Saturdays and Sundays. Let’s say you’re not an investor, you just buy a house because you need a house to live in. There are things that fall apart in the house, and all of that costs money. The grass grows. You gotta maintain the grass. Toilets get dirty, right? They get clogged. You have to be—and that’s just the minor stuff. Imagine when the AC breaks, because they do break. What happens when you need to replace the roof?
So it’s having your numbers ready to go, having reserves, understanding how much things cost, and understanding—especially if you’re gonna be an investor and renting out your property—there you have to vet your tenant. Your tenant can be very costly. As much as you think you’re gonna make money off your tenant—like, “Yeah, I’m gonna make money, it’s easy money, da-da-da-da”—tenants break stuff. Tenants use your place, and it’s not theirs. They rent it out for three months, six months, for a year, and they leave. They couldn’t care less about it; they just move on to the next one. And there are professional tenants that you have to watch out for, people who know what’s going on.
So if you don’t have your numbers, if you don’t understand the cost behind this, you’re going to lose money. And I’ve had that experience myself. There are moments where I’m losing money where I say, “What? What? I thought I was gonna make money here.” No, you’re losing money. Obviously, maybe in the long run—10, 15, 20, 30 years, right—the equity in your home will build up, because that’s the nature of the way the economic system works. And it’s always good to get into investment and buy a property and all that stuff. But you can easily start losing money if you’re not maintaining it properly, if you are not there and understanding, “I have to vet this person out. I have to check their credit score. I have to check all these things.” So it’s having your numbers. It’s having your numbers there, ready to go, understanding them, understanding all these things, the cost behind it. It’s numbers. At the end of the day, it’s numbers. So yeah, numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers. Have your numbers ready to go, yeah. Do your homework. Homework is real.
