Job Security.
Financial Security.

Security.
The Financial Security Academy takes families, students and working adults from stable to secure, with a backup plan, skills employers want and income they control.
The Problem
One Paycheck Away
Stability means your bills are paid this month. Security means you’re still okay if your job ends tomorrow.
AI and layoffs are changing work faster than most families can keep up with. Too many people have only one income, no backup plan and no network to lean on, and some have no income at all and don’t know where to start.
We fix that.
Who this is for
If you work, or you're about to, this is for you.
Anyone who is still in the workforce or preparing to enter it, from teenagers to people in their 50s.
Teenagers and students preparing for their first job or college
Young adults starting their careers
Working adults who want more stability or a backup plan
People who've been laid off or are worried about layoffs
People who've been laid off or are worried about layoffs
People with no income who are ready to start
People in recovery who are rebuilding their lives and getting back on their feet
Our Path
From Stable to Secure
We meet every person where they are. Some have no income yet, some are just getting stable, and some are already stable but have room for more. So one lost job never becomes a crisis.
1
Give
In churches, we start with honoring God through tithing. In schools, we start with the habit of giving back and helping others.
2
Get Stable
A budget that services a layoff, an emergency plan and income coming in.
3
Become Secure
Skills employers want, a side income and a path to ownership.

Working Full-Time? How Brian Alfaro Built Real Estate on the Side Before Going Full-Time Part 2
Episode Summary
Brian Alfaro began investing in real estate in 2017 while working in the restaurant industry and operating coffee shop businesses. He started with single-family rentals, flips, and wholesale deals before realizing that reaching his income goals through individual houses would require managing a large number of properties. That realization led him toward multifamily investing and eventually capital raising.
In this episode, Brian explains how he transitioned from active single-family investing into multifamily, became Director of Investor Relations at Headway Capital, and personally raised about $20 million for real estate deals. He also discusses active versus passive investing, navigating higher interest rates, acquiring distressed properties, and why strong relationships and asset management matter when building a real estate business.
- How Brian started investing while working in corporate America and operating coffee shops.
- Why he moved from single-family properties into multifamily investing.
- How having more time than money influenced his decision to become an active investor.
- Why busy professionals should evaluate whether active or passive investing fits their lifestyle.
- How Brian transitioned into real estate full-time and capital raising.
- Why his firm paused acquisitions during volatile interest-rate conditions.
- How relationships with sellers and lenders helped the team acquire distressed properties.
- Why fixed versus floating-rate debt can materially affect a real estate deal.
- Why strong asset management is critical after a property is acquired.
- Why new investors should focus on becoming a deal finder, dollar finder, or asset manager.
Brian's journey shows that the right real estate strategy depends on your available time, capital, family responsibilities, and long-term goals. If your career already demands most of your time, becoming an active investor can create another major responsibility.
For professionals who want real estate exposure without finding deals, managing properties, or dealing with lenders themselves, passive investing may offer another path. Brian emphasizes getting educated, understanding who you are investing with, and taking a long-term approach rather than expecting one deal to replace your paycheck.
Brian Alfaro is the Director of Investor Relations at Headway Capital, a Houston-based real estate investment firm. He began his real estate journey in 2017 and later transitioned from single-family investing into multifamily and capital raising.
According to the episode, Headway Capital has approximately 3,000 units in its portfolio and has raised more than $100 million in investor capital. Brian says he has personally raised approximately $20 million for real estate deals.
