5 Money Traps Service Members Fall Into (Before It’s Too Late!)

5 Money Traps Service Members Fall Into (Before It’s Too Late!)

Hosted by: David Pere
Episode Type: Military Finance, Mindset, Real Talk
Length: ~21 minutes
Watch on YouTube: Watch Now

🚨 In This Episode:

Why do some service members leave broke… while others walk away millionaires?
It’s not luck—it’s mindset, discipline, and tactical decisions.
David breaks down the 5 most common financial traps that crush service members—and how to avoid them like a surprise field day on liberty weekend.

💣 Key Mistakes to Avoid:

1. Living Like You’re Rich (When You’re Not)

  • Military pay + benefits = disposable income = temptation.

  • David’s early story: tattoos, Harley, blown cash post-Afghanistan.

  • Fix: Pay yourself first (TSP, savings) before you ball out.

2. Buying the Wrong Car (at 20%+ Interest!)

  • That Dodge Charger is eating your future net worth.

  • Car dealers don’t love you—they love your LES.

  • Fix: Delay gratification, buy used, keep costs low, invest the difference.

3. Ignoring the TSP

  • Free government money = 100% instant ROI with matching.

  • Roth TSP + tax-exempt combat pay = long-term tax-free growth.

  • Fix: Set it up early, contribute at least 5%, and skip the guru hype.

4. Rushing into Marriage (Bah ≠ Love)

  • “Marrying the stripper” is code for not vetting your partner.

  • Divorce is emotionally and financially devastating.

  • Fix: Treat dating like a vetting process. Seek red flags, not butterflies.

5. Not Using the VA Loan Properly (or Early Enough)

  • Most service members wait too long, or work with the wrong people.

  • Fix: Use it to house hack early—live for free, build wealth fast.

  • Join David’s free weekly webinar to master the VA loan game.

💥 Bonus Tactical Tips:

  • Deploying soon? Max your Roth TSP with tax-exempt combat pay.

  • Transfer your GI Bill during your first reenlistment—just give 1% to start.

  • Don’t bet your future on a pension—build wealth now, so retirement is optional.

  • Plan your transition early. Losing BAH, BAS, and Tricare is a financial punch in the gut if you’re not ready.

The VA Loan Trap No One Warns You About

Friday Jul 11, 2025

Friday Jul 11, 2025

The VA Loan Trap No One Warns You About

Hosted by: David Pere
Episode Type: Real Estate, Financial Education
Length: ~25 minutes
Watch on YouTube: The VA Loan Trap No One Warns You About

🚨 What This Episode Covers:

The VA loan is one of the most powerful financial tools available to military members—but most service members are using it wrong. In this tactical breakdown, David Pere exposes common myths, lender lies, and critical mistakes that cost veterans hundreds of thousands.

If you’re planning to buy a home with your VA loan (or already have), this episode is non-negotiable listening.

💣 Key Highlights:

🔍 How the VA Loan Actually Works

  • Uncle Sam guarantees 25% of your loan, allowing zero down, no PMI, and better interest rates.

  • It’s not “free money”—but it’s a serious wealth-building lever.

🏠 House Hacking with the VA Loan

  • Buy a multi-family property or large single-family and rent out rooms or units.

  • Save 33% or more of your income and watch your net worth grow.

  • Yes, you can use your VA loan more than once—entitlement math matters.

⚠️ The Biggest Mistakes to Avoid

  • Buying a max-priced single-family home without considering its investment potential

  • Assuming your lender knows the VA rules (many don’t)

  • Ignoring the long-term strategy of making your house cash-flow when you PCS

📈 Real-World Case Studies

  • A Marine officer earns $1,500/month in rental income from a $781K house near Camp Pendleton

  • A War Room member turned a basement into a $2,500/mo Airbnb in Colorado Springs

  • Even renters can house hack—with landlord permission to sublet

🔑 Eligibility Tips

  • Active duty = eligible after 90 days

  • Reserves = 6 years OR 90 days Title 10

  • Spouses of fallen service members may also qualify

🧠 Bonus Insights:

  • Funding fee is waived if you have 10%+ disability or a Purple Heart

  • VA loan is reusable, even across multiple properties

  • VA appraisal process is easier to contest than conventional loans

  • You can often get cash back at closing with the right agent and lender

  • The VA IRRRL (a.k.a. VA Streamline Refi) allows for easy refinancing when rates drop

❌ Common Myths DEBUNKED:

  • "You can only use the VA loan once" → False

  • "VA loans are slow and clunky" → Only with the wrong lender

  • "You need perfect credit" → Nope. Some approvals go as low as 520 scores

  • "The funding fee is a ripoff" → Actually cheaper than PMI—and often waived

  • "Zero down = zero out-of-pocket" → You still need to budget 1–3% for closing costs (which can be covered)

7 SIMPLE Steps That Made Me a Millionaire in the Military

7 SIMPLE Steps That Made Me a Millionaire in the Military

Hosted by: David Pere
Episode Type: Personal Finance, Wealth Building
Length: ~16 minutes
Watch on YouTube: 7 SIMPLE Steps That Made Me a Millionaire in the Military

💥 What This Episode Covers:

Marine Corps veteran and real estate investor David Pere breaks down the exact seven steps he followed to go from broke E-2 to millionaire—all while still active duty.

This episode is your blueprint if you:

  • Are new to the military and want to use it as a launchpad for wealth

  • Feel stuck financially and want a practical, no-fluff roadmap

  • Want to use benefits like the VA loan and TSP to build long-term freedom

🧩 The 7 Steps to Military Wealth:

1. Get Promoted Early & Often
Max out your promotion points (PT, education, MOS performance). Promotions = pay raises without more hours worked.

2. Max Out Your TSP (Thrift Savings Plan)
Invest early—preferably Roth—and leverage the BRS match. David breaks down fund options and recommends Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins.

3. Build an Emergency Fund
Start with one month of expenses, then aim for 6 months. Dry powder beats credit card reliance every time.

4. Eliminate Bad Debt & Build Credit
Pay off consumer debt and establish credit history with small, manageable usage. A strong score opens doors in real estate and business.

5. Use the VA Loan to House Hack
Buy a duplex, triplex, or a single-family home with roommates. Let BAH and rent from others cover your mortgage = live for free.

6. Actually Use Your Military Benefits
From the SCRA to tuition assistance to the GI Bill—these are valuable tools. David shares hacks like the waived AMEX fees and $117k adaptive housing grant for disabled vets.

7. (Bonus) Start a Business
If you’re inclined, document your journey, blog, consult, or launch a side hustle. David built From Military to Millionaire while still in uniform.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • You can absolutely get rich in the military—with just your service pay and smart choices.

  • Most service members delay action and miss out on years of compounding.

  • Discipline + access to free housing, tax-advantaged income, and government benefits = the ultimate wealth-building combo.

  • Don’t wait 7 years to start like David did—start now, even if you’re just checking into boot camp.

Trump Just Changed EVERYTHING for Disabled Veterans!

Hosted by: David Pere
Episode Type: VA Policy Breakdown, Commentary
Length: ~10 minutes
Watch on YouTube: Trump Just Changed EVERYTHING for Disabled Veterans!

🧠 What This Episode Covers:

In this urgent breakdown, David dives into President Trump’s latest executive order that’s shaking up the VA system and could mean massive improvements for homeless and disabled veterans — especially those in Los Angeles.

What you’ll learn:

  • 📜 The real story behind the West LA VA campus and its 100-year-old promise to house disabled veterans

  • 🏚️ How 10% of the nation’s homeless veterans ended up in Los Angeles—and why that matters

  • 💸 Why federal funds formerly allocated to illegal immigration will now be redirected to the new National Center for Warrior Independence

  • 🧾 The accountability measures being implemented to clean up VA misconduct and rehiring issues

  • 🕰️ Specific policy shifts: expanded hours, weekend access, virtual appointments, and faster referrals

  • 🏘️ The role of HUD and the VASH voucher program in scaling housing for veterans

  • 🏥 Why New Hampshire might finally get its first full-service VA medical facility

🔍 Key Takeaways:

  • Restoring VA Property: Land originally donated for disabled veterans in LA is being reclaimed and reoriented toward its intended use.

  • No Extra Spending: Funds are being reallocated—not increased—by cutting budget from illegal immigration aid.

  • 6,000 Veteran Housing Goal: The Warrior Independence Center aims to house and rehabilitate up to 6,000 vets by 2028.

  • VASH Vouchers Expansion: These Section 8-style vouchers for vets could dramatically increase housing access.

  • Nationwide Impact: New legislation might finally give every U.S. state a full VA hospital.

⚠️ Real Talk:

David addresses political fearmongering and misinformation head-on. Whether you lean red or blue, he urges listeners to look past the headlines and focus on real veteran impact.

“Nobody is coming to strip your VA benefits. That would be political suicide.”

🪖 Bottom Line:

The U.S. has the best veteran benefits system in the world, but it’s not perfect. This executive order represents a push toward accountability, faster service, and real support for those who served.
