Marty Tyler

After the service, Marty's projects started with a garage. Having the experience, he now shares what we need to learn about tax liens and how anyone can create their own portfolio by eyeing the right properties in auctions.
In this episode, join in as we learn more about a mostly overlooked approach to acquisition from Marty's incredible and heuristic experience.
About Marty Tyler:
Marty joined the Air Force in 2001 and has always been into real estate ever since. He likes to watch HGTV. When Marty got out of active duty seven years later, he built a garage where he added an apartment to be for rent.
Ever since that project, Marty has been buying stuff, doing a couple of flips, and decided that buy and hold was the area that he liked and excelled in the most. From there until now, he has been doing that pretty hot and heavy over the last couple of years.

Matt Deboth
Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guest Matt DeBoth as they talk about what cross collateral deals are and how Matt acquires multi-million dollar real estate or multifamily buildings without putting money down.
With deals, Matt works on everything in-house. He's got a management team that handles cleaning the property, raising its rent, occupancy, and conducting the needed tenant relations. Even when he bumps into significant damages, he knows he's got a team lined up waiting.
In this episode, tune in as Matt shares the method he used that helped him achieve nothing else but growth from his first-ever investment of hacking a 20-unit apartment alone – with no partner.
About Matt DeBoth:
Matt DeBoth is a Marine Corps veteran who served from 2003-2011 as Force Recon Marine, deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa. Matt purchased a 20-unit apartment complex during his last combat deployment and hacked it upon his exit from the service.
Matt currently invests in the Midwest and owns a portfolio of 142 rental units. Since 2011, he has flipped 25-plus rental units and BRRRRed multi-million dollar apartment buildings, all while using traditional funding from banks.
Recently, Matt has started a full rehab on a 48-unit apartment building located in Des Moines, Iowa. Additionally, he sold his laundromat and began repositioning his portfolio to hold mid-to-large-sized apartment buildings. Working as the general contractor and asset manager for his portfolio, Matt has found his value-add appreciation and creative financing expertise.
Matt currently hosts a local real estate meetup and uses his free time to educate others on real estate investing. Being a part of multiple mastermind groups, reading investment books, and being a podcast buff, Matt views himself as a lifelong student.

Nelson Tressler
Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Nelson Tressler, as they speak about how a man can succeed, on his own terms, despite struggles on top of struggles. Nelson's story gives testament to how we don't always have to end up the way we started, a lesson that many people may take through multiple different ways.
Getting held back in school with dyslexia was one challenge Nelson had to face; finishing college was another thing and a rather hard one for him to do. But after finishing college, Nelson grew the desire to overcome more of whatever life throws at him in his journey of emotional recovery and development; later on, he continued to become a broker, businessman, and author.
In this episode, Nelson imparts a handful of lessons on perception, the mindset your goals need, and what he thinks people can learn from if they want to move on to a better place in their lives – be it physical or mental. Nelson believes that our life is not our circumstances; it is what we do in those circumstances that make our lives.
About Nelson Tressler:
Nelson was born to a teenage mother in rural central Pennsylvania and has never known his biological father. He was the oldest of five children and grew up in poverty under an alcoholic and abusive stepfather.
Nelson lost track of the number of times that he went to bed hungry. Far from an idyllic childhood, Nelson worked on his uncle's garbage truck during the summer and holidays to help provide for his family. Once Nelson got his driver's license, a local construction company hired him to work until he graduated from high school.
In high school, Nelson was a three-sport athlete. He still holds several school records and was voted the most athletic member of his senior class. Once he graduated, he went on to play college football at St. Francis University.
After his freshman year of college, it was very evident that he could not afford to continue. He then joined the United States Air Force on the G.I. bill. He trained as an electronic and navigation technician on the E.F.–111 aircraft. Nelson served in Saudi Arabia and Turkey during his four years of military service.
He attended multiple universities during his service and received his associate's degree. After being honorably discharged from the Air Force, he attended the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. He started a window cleaning business to pay for school and support his young family.
After graduating with a Finance degree from the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, Nelson went to work for Grubb &; Ellis Commercial real estate. Nelson and his team were the top producing team in the nation on several occasions while working at Grubb & Ellis commercial real estate.
Newmark Grubb Knight Frank later purchased the company. Nelson has consistently been one of the nation's top-producing brokers, and his team has been the top-producing retail team in the Las Vegas market for an impressive 19 straight years. In 2008, Nelson was named to Las Vegas' prestigious "40 under 40" list.
He has personally developed commercial projects over $25 million. Additionally, during his 20+ year career, Nelson has brokered deals on behalf of his clients over $750 million.
Nelson has founded several successful businesses, including one of the largest chains of children's daycare centers in Las Vegas, which he sold for a profit. He is also the founder of one of the nation's largest privately held pet resorts he recently sold.
Nelson is currently acting as a partner in multiple business ventures ranging from tanning salons and family fun centers to a landscaping rock supplier. He is also involved in numerous real estate ventures, including apartment buildings and commercial real estate developments.
His team continues to be the top retail producing team for Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Diya Liu
Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest, Diya Liu, as they talk about how investing in short-term rentals got her from $0 - $100,000 of revenue in 13 months. Diya earned that from the units she owns, all while working as an attorney full-time.
In the household she grew up in, being an achiever was the goal. A good education in a prestigious school, finishing with flying colors, and getting into big-name companies were always believed to be the pathway to success. Instead of just following, she taught herself to take risks.
Diya now travels to different places, teaching people how to achieve financial freedom through her proven and tested methods. In this episode, we'll hear Diya's experience and approach to managing her vacation rentals, as well as the results of her redefinition of what success could be.
About Diya Liu:
Diya Liu helps real estate investing newbies and seasoned investors maximize their rental cash flow with vacation rentals. Diya came to the United States when she was eight years old. Her family of three lived in their mom's measly $1,000/month graduate student stipend.
Her journey to investing was not a straight path. Her parents raised her to believe that the equation to success equaled getting straight A's, going to a renowned college & grad school, and getting an excellent W2 job. Diya did just that, and she wasn't happy.
Diya double-majored in chemical engineering and biochemistry in college; she got a full-ride scholarship to law school, and she got a job at a prestigious white-shoe law firm in NYC upon graduating from law school.
Then she realized that she didn't want to work 9 AM to midnight for the rest of her career. After research, Diya found the financial independence movement and decided she wanted to be location independent too, not just financially independent!
She started investing in vacation rentals and got her first booking within 15 minutes of hitting publish. She had over 90% occupancy for the first month on Airbnb.
Since then, Diya quickly purchased more vacation rentals and achieved financial and location independence, giving her the freedom to travel the world.

- [03:28] On the golden handcuff syndrome and redefining her concept of success.

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!
