Real Estate Investing Course: https://www.frommilitarytomillionaire.com/teachable-rei

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Ryan Phu, as they speak about how he got into dropshipping, social media marketing, and real estate, all before reaching the age of 18 years old. Despite the hesitation, lack of support, and all the challenges he and his family faced in life, Ryan shares how he perseveres in bringing himself towards financial freedom.

Ryan is tenacious above anything. All the more going into his first real estate deal at the age of 17 – a feat kids his age aren't on the same level with. But because he was a newcomer, the inevitable happened to Ryan. His lack of experience was taken advantage of. With that big spank on the butt, Ryan learned the importance of giving more time to every deal, having yourself a buyer's list, and being confident in yourself.

In this episode, the three discuss the values that last longer with real estate and what they recommend for every single first-deals. They also go down on the mindset that can help any player in real estate come out of a deal more successfully the next time they, like Ryan, create $200k of value out of thin air.

About Ryan Phu:

Ryan Phu is an eighteen-year-old entrepreneur from San Diego. He's involved with real estate and other ventures and has had his first ever real estate deal at the age of seventeen.

My name is David Pere, I am an active duty Marine, and have realized that service members and the working class use the phrase "I don't get paid enough" entirely too often. The reality is that most often our financial situation is self-inflicted. After having success with real estate investing, I started From Military to Millionaire to teach personal finance and real estate investing to service members and the working class. As a result, I have helped many of my readers increase their savings gap, and increase their chances of achieving financial freedom! - Click here to SUBSCRIBE: https://bit.ly/2Q3EvfE to the channel for more awesome videos!

The Founder of LocalVest Teaches Us How to Syndicate Properly | Bill Militello

Friday Apr 16, 2021

Episode: 138

Bill Militello

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Bill Militello as they talk about syndication as a process, raising capital, Bill's thoughts on multifamily investing today, and his company that links military veteran entrepreneurs and general real estate operators to quick and inexpensive capital raising –Local Vest.

For Bill, finding the deal, getting the money, and closing the deal can sometimes work against people. In this episode, he talks about reversing the steps. If one can close a deal with their own money or the capital they can raise from friends, moving on with the transaction is more quickly achievable. Your personal network lets you walk in with confidence. He believes an entrepreneurs' success is their ability to raise capital, and that ability lies in the size of their personal network.

Having good counsel and surrounding yourself with people whose unique abilities are different from your own is also an essential component of building partnerships for Bill. If one can surround himself with people who have the experience and integrity, chasing and closing the right deals can become a less risky nature when investing and operating around the world of real estate –an industry that teaches you nothing if not through the actual on-the-job experience.

About Bill Militello:

Founder and CEO of Militello Capital. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1992 and later served as a Captain in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Signals Intelligence Officer. In 2001, Bill moved to Wall Street, where he was an equity trader for Knight Capital Markets. Mr. Militello subsequently served as a consultant for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In 2003, he founded Piedmont Investment Advisors and set out to create not just another investment firm but rather to redefine the traditional investment model. His view was that the financial services industry was ripe for innovation. Therefore, he founded Militello Capital in 2011 to guide the wave of registered investment advisors "RIAs" to think beyond Wall Street and challenge the conventional allocation model, The hedonic treadmill.

He knows firsthand the challenges of being an entrepreneur and RIA and built private equity products that create jobs, enhance communities, and fund the development of technologies that help mankind.

Taking Big Risks Can Payoff Even Bigger, With Hugh Carnahan

Friday Apr 09, 2021

Episode: 137

Hugh Carnahan

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Hugh Carnahan as they talk about his crazy first deal, the 2-second lean method, experience increasing a hotel's cap rate, and the overall mentality that has lead him to his many incredible successes with investing.

From Hugh's first experience, he has gotten himself into fascinating situations with the properties he's acquired. One of those is becoming his own competitor in a neighborhood wherein he owns multiple houses in a single street. This advantage gives him something that any investor looking to scale would want for themselves, the ability to reinvent your location's value.

In this episode, we will hear Hugh's whole experience on that and on how he leverages other people's abilities. For anyone who is starting in real estate, Hugh emphasizes the importance of creating connections. As an investor who's been there, for him, there is courage in knowing that you're not alone in this community and that whatever you try, you have people who will have your back.

About Hugh Carnahan:

After serving for over five years in the Army, Darren has spent the last seventeen years buying and selling real estate around the country. His true passion is helping people with their homes no matter their situation and then helping the neighborhood by fixing up the homes he can buy.

His dedication to the credence that "Every Seller Must Benefit!" is the guiding force that has allowed "Sell My House to Smith" to grow into the premier home buyer in El Paso and Pueblo counties. Darren's most significant achievement has been to surround himself with an incredible team of industry and military veterans who are every bit as passionate about helping people as he is, not doing it yourself, leverage other people's experiences,

Outline of the episode:

[01:55] 26 houses for the 1^st
[06:35] Rediscovering a stock investment placed in a company.
[09:33] The lessons of acquiring 26 houses.
[12:12] Scale and lock-in on every corner of the neighborhood.
[18:08] The 2-Second Lean Process.
[19:46] "Train them to be specialists and set guidelines."
[21:57] What does preparation allow you to do?
[26:08] A lean principle for every real estate investor.
[32:07] Care about your success.
[40:40] Think of your investment as if you're running a business.

How To Raise Millions of Dollars with Neil Wahlgren

Friday Apr 02, 2021

Episode: 136

Neil Wahlgren

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Neil Wahlgren as they talk about how he made money work for him, the gates of raising money, and the many tactics he uses as a seasoned capital raiser.

When it comes to raising capital, Neil has found it true that more investors are lost between verbal commitments and signed forms than between signed forms and actual funding. For him, this is the reason why when it comes to taking advantage of a client's excitement and internal commitment, thinking ahead and preparing all the necessary legalities is critical.

How To Build A Team For Flipping Houses and Investing In Real Estate With Darren Smith

Friday Mar 26, 2021

Episode: 135

Darren Smith

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Darren Smith as they talk about flipping houses, building the team, private lending, and so much more. Eliminate, automate, and delegate are the three key points to one of Darren’s most important focuses of work. In this episode, he’ll talk us through some of the processes he takes when making sure he gets everyone going in the right direction and places the right people behind particular goals.

Most success, for Darren, isn’t always all about the shiny and grand plans to achieving wealth, fame, and financial freedom. Rather, it is often about the most mundane and practical takes towards reaching targets and objectives. He believes focus and consistency, if not two of the many factors, are the most staple when trying to succeed in just about anything.

As someone who has already had the experience, Darren acknowledges two things when it comes to private lending. For him, it is an option that carries a lot of promise; at the same time, a tool that every real estate investor should be cautious and smart about.

About Darren Smith:

His dedication to the credence that “Every Seller Must Benefit!” is the guiding force that has allowed “Sell My House to Smith” to grow into the premier home buyer in El Paso and Pueblo counties. Darren’s greatest achievement has been to surround himself with an incredible team of industry and military veterans who are every bit as passionate about helping people as he is.

Outline of the episode:

[03:24] For anyone planning to invest outside their local area.
[06:43] On transitioning to phone visits.
[10:05] The value of real, social, physical relationships.
[18:02] Find an area you hate and hire someone to do it.
[21:28] How do you hire the right one.
[27:43] Private Lending – What to know?
[29:29] Private Lending – From the bank’s perspective.
[36:05] How buying a house is the same as beginning private money.
[37:35] Focus on small areas and the tedious, boring things.
[38:33] Success is boring!
[39:08] The biggest resource for anyone getting started with real estate.

Advice to an 18-20-year old:

Go Deep and Focus! Be Consistent

Episode: 133

Eric Alvarez

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guest Eric Alvarez as they talk about prudence and frugality, what investing is about, how real estate is less liquid, and the right mindset and savings that gets a young soldier into real estate passive investing the right way.

Getting Started With Real Estate In Your First Enlistment with Austin Clark!

Friday Mar 05, 2021

Episode: 132

Austin Clark

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guest Austin Clark as they talk about the quarter method, the thing you need to get past first before investing, and not letting anyone use your age to measure your abilities and course of action.

As Austin shares his experience and plans, we'll take away a ton of insight on the importance of knowing a market, the acronym that everyone in real estate should be familiar with, and the reason why he hates being asked about five-year plans so much. For him, not locking in on long-term goals can be okay.

With the right mindset towards normalizing discomfort, not having total control of your money, and weighing education over action, listen to how a soldier in his 20s brave the possibilities of passive investing.

About Austin Clark:

Austin is a soldier, investor, lover of life, and an aspiring physique competitor and fitness-enthusiast. Gaining financial independence and living a healthy, fulfilled lifestyle is his lifelong goal. He wants to share and show the people the successes, failures, and all of the in-betweens of his life and journey.

How To Achieve Financial Freedom in The Military with Rich Carey and Doug Nordman!

Friday Feb 26, 2021

Episode: 131

Rich Carey and Doug Nordman

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guests Doug Nordman and Rich Cary as they talk about investing and asset allocations during the pandemic. While in the military, Rich paid off $230k for a mortgage. Now, he's acquired a fourplex and six-plex during the pandemic as an addition to his properties.

Later, Doug shares a story on getting a 529 account for a granddaughter and explains what it teaches about picking an asset allocation that one can live with personally. For Doug, everything flows, first and foremost, out of figuring out what one can tolerate in an asset allocation.

In this episode, listen as they also throw in their two cents on scaling and managing properties and what they hold as personal opinions on what 'sure money' truly is, especially for service members.

About Doug Nordman and Rich Cary:

Retired at age 41 after 20 years with the U.S. Navy's submarine force, today Doug Nordman is an enthusiastic surfer, an omnivorous reader, a martial arts student, and a veteran of many chaotic home-improvement projects. With his retired Navy Reserve spouse, they raised their daughter in Hawaii.

Rich believes that conservative investing is superior to aggressive tactics. He's been successful with conservative index fund real estate investing. Rich currently owns 30 units, with 20 single-family homes paid off. He has served 20 years as a Special Agent in the Air Force (similar to NCIS). After retiring from the United States Air Force, he is now living in Montgomery, Alabama, where all of his properties are located.

How To Invest in Real Estate Even If You Live In The Barracks with Paul Farmer

Friday Feb 19, 2021

Episode: 130

Paul Farmer

Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guest Paul Farmer, as he shares about how passive investing is changing the course of his career and speeding up his journey to financial freedom at his early age.

From his experience, Paul tells us what any youth needs to equip themselves with, in knowledge and the environment, in order to succeed in real estate or in whatever goal they set in general; a piece of advice he has tested and proven to be influential – even without a college degree.

About Paul Farmer:

Three weeks after graduating from high school, Paul Farmer decided to join the army at an early age. While in deployment, Paul started reading a book that his brother suggested. After reading Robert Kiyosaki's famous book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' Paul lit a desire inside him to achieve financial freedom with what he's getting from the military.

After his deployment in Iraq in November 2019, Paul came home with twenty grand and didn't know what to do with it initially. With help from a friend, Paul quickly entered real estate. At present, Paul is now a real estate and stock investor.

Outline of the episode:

[01:15] Deciding college is not for me after high school.
[02:16] Coming home with over twenty large in savings.

[28:43] Surround yourself with the right people, information, and opportunities.
[33:25] "I would tell that 19 y.o. to…"
[36:01] An essential thing that can be worked on, but not many people do.
[37:37] What disqualifies people from getting approval or from closing?
