Chris Albert's Warrior Soul

Ryan Chaw didn't know much when he jumped into real estate investing. He just knew that he watched his grandfather build wealth by buying and holding properties.  Impatient and eager to move beyond his job as a pharmacist, he bought his first property without doing the proper due diligence. When a sewer piper broke, he was responsible for thousands in damages.  But he took this experience as a lesson, and today, he has 17 tenants and is earning positive cash flow on his properties. He came onto the Warrior Soul Podcast to talk to the veteran community about his experience.  Learn more about Ryan and Newbie Real Estate Investing at the following links:

Eddie Gallagher is a retired US Navy Seal who was acquitted of war crimes after being falsely accused by his team mates.  For three years, Eddie and his family were put through absolute hell. He served nine months in jail, his children were dragged out of the house at gun point, and his wife waged her own war to save Eddie and their family.  Once he was acquitted, his problems did not let up.
