Their combined efforts illustrate the profound impact of empowering the Latino community, not just with knowledge but with actionable plans for a better financial future.
Rubi Velazquez, CEO of MRV Financial and NAHREP 10 Certified Trainer, has revolutionized the way financial literacy is delivered. Operating out of Plainfield, Illinois, Velazquez has been a pillar of her community since 2006, offering strategic financial planning, investment guidance, and comprehensive tax services tailored to individual and family goals.
As NAHREP Trainer of the Year, Velazquez’s commitment to financial education goes beyond traditional advising. She holds live seminars and virtual workshops, emphasizing that education is a cornerstone of financial success. Velazquez’s method integrates personalized financial planning with accountability systems to ensure her clients stay on track to achieve their dreams. She believes in empowering her clients by demystifying complex financial strategies and providing clear, actionable guidance.
One of her standout achievements this year was helping immigrant families navigate ITIN renewals, enabling them to access real estate opportunities and invest in their future. Her advocacy extended to Washington, D.C., where she championed tax code reforms to support these families. Velazquez’s work is a testament to the transformative power of financial literacy, proving that access to the right resources can change lives.

Based in Southern California, Manzo, the Broker of Premier One Realtors, has fostered a culture of excellence and integrity within her team. Power House 10 embodies the principles of the NAHREP 10 disciplines, offering invaluable education and mentorship to their communities.
The team’s outreach programs, consisting of live events, workshops, and mentorship sessions, connected them with over 20,000 individuals in 2024. By emphasizing the importance of generational wealth and financial literacy, Power House 10 has inspired countless families to take actionable steps toward financial stability. Their success is built on collaborative leadership and a shared vision of closing the wealth gap within the Latino community.
Manzo’s innovative approach includes tailoring real estate strategies to address the unique needs of Latino buyers and sellers. Her team emphasizes education, transparency, and community impact, ensuring every client is equipped to make informed decisions. Beyond transactions, Power House 10 prioritizes empowering the youth, advocating for the integration of the NAHREP 10 principles into school curriculums to build wealth-conscious future generations.
