If you think you need wealthy parents or generational wealth to build a real estate portfolio — this video is proof that you don't.

Juan Huizar, President of Sage Real Estate, immigrated from La Victorina, Zacatecas, Mexico at age four. His family walked through the desert for a better life, settled in California's Central Valley, and by nine years old Juan was working the garlic fields for $10 a day. Today he owns apartment buildings, commercial property, and a business in one of the most expensive zip codes in the U.S.

In this video, Juan shares the full story — the village with a dirt floor and no running water, the years of field work that gave him his hunger, the mentor (Mark Malan) who taught him that real estate is how you build lasting wealth, and the exact first steps he took: a fix-and-flip condo at 23 that turned into $35,000, then a triplex, and 20+ years later an 8-unit building, a 10-unit building, and two laundromats bought in a single 12-month stretch.

Insurance has quietly become one of the biggest expenses for California apartment owners — and most investors don't realize how much they're overpaying. In this episode, Juan Huizar (President of Sage Real Estate) sits down with Zach of INM Insurance to break down why apartment insurance premiums have DOUBLED since 2023, why carriers like Nationwide and State Farm pulled out of California, and exactly what you can do to protect your cash flow and your building's value.

Whether you own a 4-plex or a 12-unit apartment building, this conversation gives you a real playbook: what to send for a competitive quote, the electrical panels that get policies canceled, admitted vs. non-admitted carriers, habitability claims, the California FAIR Plan, and why letting your coverage lapse can cost you everything.

Most people think you need hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy an investment property. You don't. In this episode of the Own More Doors podcast, Juan Huizar (President of Sage Real Estate) and Ann Te break down exactly what it takes to buy your first duplex in Long Beach — including pockets where you can own a home AND collect rental income for under $800,000.

Ann pulled 12 months of closed duplex sales across Long Beach and mapped out where the value is, where the competition is, and where you have the most room to negotiate. If you feel priced out of a single-family home, this is the entry point most first-time buyers never consider.
