Did you know only about 13% of veterans ever use their VA home loan benefit even though it’s one of the most powerful wealth building tools out there?

In this episode of the Scrubs2Estates Podcast, I sit down with Brian Koons aka Builder Brian. He’s a Marine veteran who used a single VA loan to completely change his life. In just six years, that first deal turned into a real estate portfolio north of eight figures.

But this conversation goes way deeper than numbers.

We talk about who Brian was before the military, the identity shift after leaving the Marines, and what actually pushes someone from feeling stuck into taking action. We break down how overseeing 500 plus ADU projects at ADU Geeks gave him a massive edge early on, the role of luck versus preparation, and why value add real estate still wins long term.
