Pamela Bardhi
00:02:46
Thank you, Jay. I love yours too seriously. I love, well, you
Jay Conner
00:02:50
Know, my wife, Carol Joy, and I were so blessed to get to meet you. Actually, I have actually been less than a year ago but met you at we were in a mastermind together. That’s just one of the great benefits of being a mastermind of like-minded people. You just get to meet amazing people like yourself. And you know, Pam, I don’t know who in the world came up with the quote less, I mean, opposites attract opposites, attract. That’s like stupid. Like I, I wanna hang around people that are like me, right? So here I have Pamela Bardi hanging out and I’m just so excited to have you, Pam. So Pam, you, you have got quite the amazing story, but first let’s just start with, how did you get into real estate to start with?
Pamela Bardhi
00:03:39
Absolutely, thank you so much, Jay, for having me. So basically I started in real estate in a very interesting way, right? So I owned two restaurants by the time I was 21 and I was working about 13 to 16 hour days between the two of them. And I remember real estate developers coming through and also like my uncle who was in the real estate business, he started flipping, this was around like 2012, 2013, where there was still some overflow from 2008, 2009 crises in terms of like foreclosures and stuff. And essentially what I would see these developers do, and my uncle was getting into these flips into these renovation projects where they would buy a property, fix it up and then sell it. And so I saw the numbers and I was like, these, these numbers are wild. I’m like, this is a great thing.
Pamela Bardhi
00:04:27
And the way they made it seem was that you could create a different revenue stream off of it, having your money work for you. And like all of that kind of thing. And I saw the numbers and I was like, you know, people are making 50, 75, a hundred, 150 K per flip or more depending on what kind of value they’re adding to it. And so say to me, I’m like, wow, for me to make that type of profit net in the restaurant business is gonna take a lot. So I, you know, and I kept hearing the average millionaire has seven different streams of revenue. Meanwhile, I only had, you know, two, and I was in debt from starting up the restaurant. So I was over a hundred thousand in debt. So I’m saying to myself, you know, wouldn’t hurt to learn a new skill set and start making my money work for me and building a different revenue stream.
Pamela Bardhi
00:05:10
So I started flipping houses when, when I was 21, I essentially, went to every seminar webinar conference and was just up researching whatever I could when I wasn’t working in my restaurants. So like every waking moment that I had, aside from my restaurants, I was dedicated to learning about real estate. And eventually, I hired a coach who helped me learn the game in my local market. And then from there, you know, did a few deals with him. And then essentially from there, I, I went on to do my own thing, but that was kind of the journey into it. And honestly, I didn’t think I was gonna go into real estate full time. And that’s the crazy part. A lot of people think that I’ve always been in real estate. That’s what I studied. And that’s what I did. It’s like, oh no, I had my two restaurants.
Pamela Bardhi
00:05:52
All I was doing was trying to build a different revenue stream through flipping houses, but eventually just turned into this whole empire of its own. Honestly, it was a hell of a process. Well, I didn’t anticipate it. And eventually, I phased out of my restaurants and then just stuck directly to real estate. But you know, basically breaking out into the construction world became a licensed general contractor, you know, flips of course, real estate development was the core of what I was doing. And then I got my real estate license. You know, you always, you always find these complimentary businesses that kind of tie into yours as you, as you grow, your brand and your business. So, that’s how it started for sure. 21 flipping houses. I had no idea what I was doing that’s for damn sure.
Jay Conner
00:06:37
Well, that’s amazing. I mean, you started doing real estate when you were 21 years old, you know, amazing thing happens. I mean, as I did in the intro just a moment ago, by the time you were 28 years old. So, you know, you’ve got this podcast called, you know, underdog. Why, why is it that you are attracted to the underdog that is in all of us? And before you answer that question, tell everybody what you mean by the underdog.
Pamela Bardhi
00:07:09
For sure. So I identify as the real estate underdog. So to me, it’s been my identity, my whole life, right? Like my family represents the underdog story, represents the American dream, which is an underdog story. If you think about it, right, to be able to come to this amazing country with nothing and build everything from the ground up. I mean, that’s what my parents did basically came here. When I was five years old, they won the visa lottery to come here. They didn’t know how to speak. English, didn’t know anything about anything. To be honest, none of our family was here. They had no job security. I was five years old and my brother was a newborn. They came here and they figured it out. But this is the type of country that we live in, where we have these opportunities. If you hustle hard enough to create and be somebody, right?
Pamela Bardhi
00:07:53
So to become the underdog. So I’ve seen my parents rise as the underdog. They then empowered and uplifted me. And basically, I went from nothing to something as well. And now I’m helping other people do the same. And when some people say underdog, you know, mine is the true underdog story, right from the ground up. And you know, the Phoenix and the whole, the whole cliche thing that you wanna talk about an underdog. But when I say there’s an underdog in all of us, I truly mean that we’ve all faced our battles. We’ve all faced challenges. And you know, everyone is going through something and you just never know who is going through something and you just can’t make assumptions. Right? So when I say the underdog and all of us, I mean, you know, the challenges that we all go through, we’ve all been faced with something we’ve all been back up against a wall for something, whether it’s relationships, whether it’s your career, whether it’s family life, whether it’s whatever we all have our things. And so just a reminder that we can all rise above that and take it to the next level. So everyone’s underdog story is different. That’s because we all face different challenges, mental, emotional, all, all the things. So my goal is to uplift the underdog in every situation, essentially. So that’s me. So
Jay Conner
00:09:07
I know part of what you are passionate about is, you know, working with other people to push through, you know, to push through that underdog experience, that as you say, all of us have had multiple underdog experiences in our life. What are some of the key strategies, and the key coaching tips that you give your clients? You know, if someone is stuck, if someone is still living in the past, if someone, you know, just is having a hard time getting over whatever that thing was that they lived through and mentally and emotionally, they’re still living in it. What’s your advice on how to get past that stuff and push through it
Pamela Bardhi
00:09:59
100%, Jay, I love that question. Thank you so much for that. So essentially, I mean, life comes down to this and business really comes down to this, and this is my favorite quote. And I heard Tony Robins say it, and I know everyone quotes Tony, but it’s so true. That business is a spiritual game. It is 100000% a spiritual game, right? Because you have to be worthy of receiving and building. And that’s all of the things. So what I teach my clients and what I, anyone that I interact with, or anyone who listens to my show and all that, I’m deeply, I’m a deeply spiritual person, deeply, deeply spiritual person. So I always talk about the alignment of mind, body, and spirit, all in one, whatever that means to you, everyone has their own belief systems and their ideologies and all things. And I respect and love all of that.
Pamela Bardhi
01:10:48
Everyone has their own perspective and it’s fantastic. But at the end of the day, you’ve really gotta align the three of them. If you’re stuck somewhere, there’s gotta be something in your life that’s causing that, right. Is it, is it a family issue? Is it something going on with business? Is it, you know, cuz when people say that they’re broke, I know that the core of the problem is that they don’t believe in their self-worth. That’s really the core of it. Right? And we all chase money because we think that money creates a lifestyle force. That’s always gonna make us happen no matter what, but the truth is you really gotta do this deep, deep work within yourself to be worthy, to feel worthy, right? Cause we are worthy. It’s just do we feel it right? And that affects how much is on, is in our bank account, and all of that.
Pamela Bardhi
01:11:34
Cause everyone in the world, chases money and money, money, they’re not chasing that really. When you really sit down and think about it, they just wanna be somewhere where they belong and they just wanna be happy. Right? There’s really no monetary value to that. But as you know, Jay, with that money comes abundance when you feel worthy of receiving. And when you give to the world too, when you’re also a giver, right? Law of reciprocity, you give to the world and always give back. It’s the law of karma. It’s the duality and the universe. I like to say, but truly that’s, what it comes down to. And what I give as the tips is, is really like sit down with yourself. It’s really just personal development work that we sit down and we’re like, what’s really going on right? In your mind, in your body, in your spirit, what, what is not aligned here?
Pamela Bardhi
01:12:18
And how can we figure this thing out and then lay out, you know, basically a goal action plan based on the hopes and the dreams? Right. And we try to align everything together. So yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s a bit of a process that I, that I put people through and it’s the process that I do with myself. I’m like, what’s going on with me today? It’s like, oh, I need some sleep. Alright, I’m gonna get some sleep. And then I’m back in alignment and I’m ready to go. Right. So it’s just, sometimes it could be simple things where sometimes it’s some deep emotional things that you gotta clear with yourself. I mean, we all have a, have a lot, we carry a lot sometimes. And so that, you know, we don’t realize how much that affects us at the end of the day. So yeah, that alignment of the mind, body spirit is the most critical cuz it affects everything else.
Jay Conner
01:13:00
You said something a moment ago about, you know, people running around chasing money, chasing money, chasing money. And that’s really not what it’s about. And I couldn’t agree with you more. I think about, you know, I’ve been in the business world now for over 40 years. And I think about particularly years ago, like when I was in my twenties and thirties when I would have an opportunity come along. And the only reason that I was interested in getting involved was for the money I never got off ground zero. It never launched. It never went anywhere because as you just said, and I’ll paraphrase, it’s never about the money. Right. People may think it is, but it’s never about the money. And, every time that I have been passionate about what I’m doing and there is a business plan that supports that passion that will print money and make money.
Jay Conner
01:13:56
But I gotta be passionate about it first. I mean, you can be passionate about something and be stone-cold broke. Right. But I still say passion comes first. And when the business plan, you know, actually makes sense and is gonna make you money because of your passion, then it works every time. Right. Right. And, and so, and I also really appreciate you saying about being in alignment. I learned this phrase that psychologists use that they use. And I, I just learned this phrase, I don’t know, some years ago called cognitive dissonance. And I’m sure in your line of work, you know what cognitive Dison is, that’s a really fancy phrase, which means nothing more than my actions and my behaviors are not in alignment with my core values and my, my core values, as I’m sure you work with people on my core values have got to be in alignment with my behaviors, my actions, my thought process, or I’m just gonna be a miserable mess, right?
Pamela Bardhi
01:15:04
Yep, absolutely. Absolutely. Jay, I’m telling you, and anytime you deviate, you notice your body notices your whole soul and your being knows it when you’re disconnected from where you’re supposed to be. That’s why a lot of people feel miserable cuz that, that disconnect, you know exactly. They’re not alignment.
Jay Conner
01:15:22
So speaking of passion, I mean, you’ve got all, I mean you’re way too young to have as many experiences as you already have, but that’s a compliment by the way. But what are you passionate about these days, you know, in your personal life, in your business, whatever. I mean, what’s really got you all excited and pumped?
Pamela Bardhi
01:15:43
Yes. I mean, honestly I just, the world is shifting a lot and I’m seeing entrepreneurship on the rise. I’m seeing people own their power. People are stepping up like things are very different than when I grew up. I mean, know, get me wrong. There’s still some darkness in the world, but I mean with, without lightness, you know, without light, there was no darkness, right? So it’s that whole duality thing that I still struggle to comprehend. Right. But for me, it’s, it’s seeing people rise up and own their power and, and really shift the game and become entrepreneurs and just like break through all the things as I’ve just seen so many people step up and just, you know, I can say one example that when I go back to my Alma mater when I go back to Stonehill college and I speak, you know, I see the students, you know, a lot of them are talking about like having the side hustle and like investing and like working smarter, not harder.
Pamela Bardhi
01:16:38
And it’s like, those are not the conversations that were being had when I was in college, you know, about 10 years ago, and seeing that whole change and that whole dynamic has been super cool. And to be part of the collective mission that leads the next generation and beyond of this whole, whole new generation of business and the way like everything the world is being run, I think has been the coolest thing. And what I’m also excited about in the real estate realm is there are a lot of shifts and changes in the real estate realm as well. I love adding value to properties. So that’s like my jam. I love looking at something and figuring it out. Cause every property has its own code. If you will, it has its own, what’s its highest and best. And you can get super creative. Like the retail markets are shifting industrial shifting.
Pamela Bardhi
01:17:24
There are all different kinds of things that are happening so fast right now, you know, there are short-term rentals, there’s Airbnb and you can get super creative. You can buy land and literally do a glamping site with it. I mean like the opportunities are endless and what I’m seeing in the world right now is super exciting. So both in like the, in the business realms of all the new technology and all the passion and just the intuitive minds that are coming into the game and being part of that mission and kind of leading that, and then what’s happening in the real estate markets. I mean, some people are horrified like looking at office buildings and, you know, converting them into different creative spaces and things like that. But to me, that’s super exciting. So that’s what I’m all about.
Jay Conner
01:18:06
You started in real estate when you were 21 years old. Yeah. What were some of your early struggles and lessons learned?
Pamela Bardhi
01:18:16
Oh boy, Jay taking me back. Well, first off I am always learning. I’m still learning that every day is a new process and it’s a new, it’s a new responsibility if you will. Right. As, as we’re growing, we’re learning constantly, or else we’re dead. Right. So one of the earliest things that I remember, I mean, as I mentioned earlier, I was brand new to the space. Like I didn’t know anything about construction. I didn’t know anything about real estate to the extent that I knew about real estate. It was really that like as a real estate agent selling houses, I didn’t know about investing. I didn’t know of, any of that. That’s why my coach was a critical piece to my success because I got the hand holding on everything because there are so many moving parts, especially in real estate development and flipping, but the biggest mistake that I made a hundred percent and I still made mistakes even with a coach.
Pamela Bardhi
01:19:05
Right. But it’s just, they weren’t as bad. Right. They were just, they were slight compared to what could have been major. Right. Because there are some deals that could just knock you off your feet, cuz we’re not talking hundreds, we’re talking thousands. If you mess up on a deal, you know, and a lot of people end up losing their shirts. And then a lot of people end up making a lot of money. So for me, estimating the construction budgets, I think, was one of the toughest things budgeting. That was super difficult for me because I didn’t have a baseline if you don’t have anything to really model it after it becomes a whole nother ballgame. So this property that I got into, I mean I estimated I think it was like 80 K. It really ended up to be 120, but luckily my coach left like a big contingency period and I still made a lot on that deal, but still, you know, budgeting, I think was the number one thing.
Pamela Bardhi
01:19:53
And I think I didn’t delegate sooner. You know, I thought I could do everything. I thought I was the entrepreneur, you know, boots on the ground, you know, hands-on kind of thing. And it was like, ah, I could have scaled out so much faster, so much sooner had I not, you know, done that. And then of course the budgeting is the first one. Like that one was, you know, cause I’m like, I’m like get me away from the numbers. So it’s like, I wanna, I wanna talk to people. I wanna create that. Wanna do I wanna do the things, get me away from these spreadsheets. I don’t wanna see them, you know? Like I’ll like that. So those were the couple of the mistakes that I, that definitely I had in the, in the beginning. But I think one of the strongest qualities that I possessed is the simple fact that putting my ego aside, I think has been one of the most critical elements to my success to say, okay, like you tell me, I don’t know anything. You know, you tell me what I need to do at this point. Do you know? So being coachable, I think that was one thing that saved me. But you know, listening sooner, even with that still, I could have listened sooner. So
Jay Conner
02:20:53
Yeah. Well, you’ve done a lot of projects and I know, you know, I’m the private money guy known as the private money authority. I love private money. Yes. I’m guessing you’re gonna have to tell me, cause I don’t know, but I’m guessing in your real estate investing career, you probably raised some private money, right?
Pamela Bardhi
02:21:13
Yeah. That’s how I started. I was, I was a hundred K in debt, Jay in the beginning when I started in real estate development with my restaurant actually over that I was over a hundred K in debt and essentially I didn’t have any, anything extra. I had just come out of undergrad. I was going to school in tandem. Like whenever I had, a free minute, like nights while I had the two restaurants while I was getting into real estate investing. So when people give me the excuses of like, oh, I don’t have time. I’m like, you don’t. Even when I was 21, I was all over the place. I barely slept. But my family, you know, was willing to invest in me. At least the down payment we had to go private, you know, we had to go hard money for the first loan, but at least I had enough to sustain the project to keep the project going, put the down payment, and still make interest payments as I was going through these projects for, for sure. That was, that was a huge thing.
Jay Conner
02:22:05
Right. Did you ever raise any private money like from individuals? Yeah. Aside from hard money. So you’ve raised private money from individuals, right?
Pamela Bardhi
02:22:15
Yes. Yep, yep. Yep. For the down payment to pay the hard money. That’s how I started. Like, it was like, it was a lot, it was a lot, basically any, any extra capital that I needed was funded by private money essentially. Right. Family, friends, all of that.
Jay Conner
02:22:34
What advice would you give to a real estate investor that perhaps hasn’t raised any private money from individuals in the past? What advice would you give them on how to begin attracting private money into their world? Of course, I coach this all the time, but I’m interested in your take on it since you’ve actually done it as well.
Pamela Bardhi
02:22:55
Yes. Well, I was gonna say, well, first off you should be talking to Jay that’s step number one. But I, I would say, you know, for me it was really about knowing the numbers, right? Because you have to treat them like investors. Like this is a business, you have to know the numbers like the back of your hand. And for me, when I was first starting, I didn’t really know my numbers and I had my coach to lean on that. Could confidently say like, you know, Hey, I’ve done this for a really long time. Here are what the numbers look like. You know, here’s the construction budget, you know, here’s what we’re buying it for. Here’s what we’re gonna put into it. And here’s what we should be selling it for. And here are the numbers and the risk levels, you know, we should be in and outta this project within six to nine months, we’re holding your money for a year, maximum things like that.
Pamela Bardhi
02:23:35
Now, you know, here’s your percentage and, and things like, you know, that was super critical. So knowing and understanding those numbers. So if you’ve done it, if you have done real estate development before or any type of real estate project, you know, your number’s great. You can pitch that to your investors and keep it business emotion needs to be left out of it. Right. But if you don’t know your numbers and you’re stepping into this for the very first time, I hope that you partner with somebody who knows exactly what they’re doing. Or you have a coach that’s walking you through the process because these are like, there are so many moving parts in real estate development. Yes. A lot of money to be made. But at the same token, there is a lot, there is a lot of risk and there’s a lot of moving parts and a lot of moving elements.
Pamela Bardhi
02:24:14
So if you’re not a pro at it or don’t have a coach with it, I would recommend that you at least JV joint venture with somebody who does cuz there are so many different ways to creatively lay out deals, you know? And I mean you could even try to work a deal with the seller as well. I mean, there are all types of different things, you know, Ron, Ron LaGrand with his, with his terms things, right? So there are always ways to creatively lay out the deal. It’s just a matter of knowing your numbers at the end of the day. Cause you can lay out whatever terms you want when it comes to that, but know your numbers a hundred percent
Jay Conner
02:24:45
Well, I’m glad you gave that advice. I mean, you know, I tell my real estate investing, coaching clients all the time, you know, who’s going to, who is going to invest with you, you know what private lender is going to loan you money on a deal unless you’re like confident in what you’re doing and, and, or at least come across confident. Right? Right. And it’s gonna be very hard to come across confident unless you do what you said Pam just a second ago. And that is knowing your numbers. I mean, you know, it’s gonna be very hard to be confident in, you know, talking with a private lender or whatever, without knowing those numbers and Pam let’s right now give a free gift away. So I just finished writing on this subject of private money. I just finished writing and I know you have no about it because when you had me on your show, I offered it up.
Jay Conner
02:25:35
Yes. I just finished writing this money guide called seven reasons why private money will skyrocket your real estate business and let’s give it away for free. You can go to www.jcomjayconner.com/money guide and download this private money guide. And it will get you and help you get a lot of private money very, very quickly. So, Pam, my next question is on my lens. Where in the world do you get your drive from that’s part one that’s part one. I mean, I mean, you are, you are a highly driven personality type a, you know, to the hilt, right? So you’re driven. So where do you, where do you get your drive from? That’s the first queue first part of the question. The second part of that question is if someone feels like they just don’t have much drive, they just don’t have much to get up and go. Is there a way to change that core part of that personality or not?

Absolutely. Jay, thank you for the question. Those are amazing questions. So first and foremost, I mean my drive comes from a hundred percent. My number one, motivator’s always my parents, right? Like watching them build from the ground up since I was a little kid and what they sacrificed for me to become who I am. I mean, they barely had enough money and they would put me through private schools, whenever business, I started, they were behind me funding it, you know like they didn’t have all this money, but whatever they had, they literally invested in me. So it was my job and my motivation to basically make sure that their sacrifice was a hundred percent worth it. Right. And to see them proud, I think is the greatest thing because they did something that altered the course of my life. Right. They came here, they put everything on the line and sacrificed for me.

So now it’s my duty to, you know, take it to the next level and make sure that they know that their sacrifice was worth it to come here and build something and hustle as hard as they did. So that’s a number one motivator for me. And then, you know, I’m, I’m just inspired by so many people, you know, I, I didn’t realize my story impacted as many people as it did until I started sharing it for the sole purpose of just showing people like, Hey, listen, if I can do it like it’s totally possible for you. And not that every journey’s the same, right? Cause we’re all different people. We walk different trails in different lives. So please like don’t compare yourself to anybody else, but know that you can be up against all odds, know that you know, you write your own destiny and you can create and manifest the life that you want, if you believe and you work hard enough, honestly.

And I know that’s super cliche, but I’ve seen the American dream built right before my very eyes. And it’s the coolest thing in the world to see. So that drives me and I wanna help other people get there. So that’s definitely a big driver for me to be able to get to this level at such a young age so that I can help more and more people get there and live their best lives. Cuz you know, the second part of your question that you mentioned, Jay was how do you get motivated? I mean, honestly when you start to realize that you were put on this earth for a reason and that you’re granted very specific gifts and you’re very unique in who you are and what you do. That’s a huge motivator. I think that digging deep within yourself and asking yourself like, what is really your, why?
Pamela Bardhi
02:28:57
Like why do you get up every day and do what you do, right? Is it, do you have a specific vision, and those who don’t have that motivation is they don’t have the vision built? If you don’t know what you’re working towards, how will you ever be motivated to get there? Right? But these reflective questions are not something that’s specifically taught in school to really dig deep within yourself and say, Hey, what do you, what do you actually want? If you ask most people, what is it that they actually want? Jay, I’m sure you’ll get this anti, I don’t know. That’s the problem. If you lack vision, you will lack direction and therefore you will not be motivated. So my biggest inspiration is, you know, sit down with yourself, get away from everybody, get away from your phone, all the things, and just stay clear and ask yourself and just have a conversation with yourself.

God, higher power, whatever you believe in. Right. And just say, Hey, what is it that I want, why am I here and ask yourself these questions? And it sounds insane, but they do come and you start to paint that picture of the vision of what it is that you want. And sometimes life happens, right? Things don’t ha you know, it’s never a clear, direct path. There are always obstacles in the way, right? But at least you have a clear vision of what you’re working towards. And I think that that’s super important. So the way that you combat that, motivation I wanna say is you basically create a vision for yourself and really ask yourself what it is that you want and dig deep and what’s stopping you from getting there. So

Pam, you mentioned at the beginning of the show that you heard at an early age that very successful entrepreneurs or millionaires, I think you said have multiple streams of income. So what are your multiple strings of income these days?
Pamela Bardhi
03:30:35
Absolutely. It was no surprise that I love real estate. So I have 14 properties that I have that I basically built value add. And I’m working on acquiring more, expanding the portfolio into some industrial, some commercial, things like that. Right now I have pretty much mostly residentials in my portfolio. I have some commercials getting into crypto. You know, it’s just, it’s hard for me. You know how it is Jay, when you’re in real estate, you have a real hard time investing in anything else, honestly, but my ventures have been one that I’ve been, that I’ve been building different streams of. And I, you know, my next one will be building an actual real estate school. One where, you know, people can get their real estate license, which I think will be really, really cool. And the rental portfolio is definitely a huge one. And then I do have, you know, different streams in life insurance and a little tiny bit in stocks. Most of my holdings are in real estate though. Definitely a hundred percent. But you know, the key to that though is always making sure you’re not over-leveraged. That’s also, that’s also another thing, and complimentary businesses, if you can, and affiliate relationships wherever you are. So those are kind of where my different revenue streams, my revenue streams kinda lie. Amazing. Yeah.

Amazing Pam. So, Pam, I know that I have a listener right now in particular that is wanting to work with you because they’re not exactly sure what they want out of life. They’re not sure exactly. You know, how to get there. How can they connect with you, Pam?
Pamela Bardhi
03:32:19
Absolutely. Absolutely. So I mean the best way would be definitely send me an email. I’m always on my email or my social media, anything like that. So if you’re on Instagram, it’s Pamela_Bardhi, LinkedIn, definitely for sure. And then my email, Jay will tell me I’ll give everyone my personal email so that they can contact me, which is pamela@themoschegroup.com and I’d be more than happy, more than happy to connect. Thank you
