In Episode 40, Joshua and Lauryn record for the first time in their new studio, celebrating a major milestone after nearly a year of filming at kitchen tables, bedrooms, and anywhere they could squeeze in an episode. With daytime energy (and no kids in the background!), they kick off a fresh chapter for the show.
They share updates on hiring editors, launching their YouTube channel, and finally gearing up for more consistent weekly releases. The long nights of editing until 3 AM are officially coming to an end—freeing them to focus on growth, content, and new in-person interviews.
The episode quickly turns to the big housing news of the week: a proposed 50-year mortgage. Joshua breaks down why he believes it could temporarily open doors for priced-out buyers, how it may drive demand, and why any window of opportunity will be short before prices rise again. They also unpack a potential bill that could remove the tax cap on primary-home capital-gains exclusions, which could dramatically impact inventory and long-term strategy.
But the heart of the episode is the long-awaited reveal of their signature wealth-building framework:
🔥 The ALLLL Method™ Blueprint
A strategy they’ve quietly used since 2020 to nearly 10X their equity—without high incomes, without inheritance, and while raising four kids. The method:
A — Acquire
Buy undervalued primary residences with favorable loan terms (low down payment, better rates, first-time buyer advantages).
L — Live
Move into each property as a true primary residence, allowing better financing and access to HELOCs and second-position loans.
L — Lift
Force appreciation through strategic renovations: kitchens, bathrooms, curb appeal, ADU potential, layout improvements. This creates instant value far beyond market appreciation.
L — Leverage
Pull out equity via HELOCs, cross-collateralization, or construction loans—tax-free.
L — Loop
Take that newly unlocked equity and roll that into the next property to repeat the cycle.
They share real numbers: starting with ~$270K in equity and growing to $2.3M+ in under five years, all while living in the homes during renovations, working weekends, and navigating pregnancies, babies, and financial pressures. Nothing about it was “luck”—only mindset, sacrifice, and consistency.
The episode closes with a powerful discussion on silent income, inflation, why holding cash is dangerous, and how long-term real-estate strategy paired with the IRS step-up basis allows families to build generational wealth without triggering massive taxes.
Finally, Joshua and Lauryn announce their upcoming Broke Millionaires Community, a mastermind designed to help families implement the ALL Method and build wealth together—something they wish they’d had during their hardest seasons.
