Megan Lamke
Megan started in the real estate industry working for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in 2008. Despite the huge recession and housing crisis Megan achieved the coveted President's Club award 8 months for her sales closed. While at Wells Fargo Megan built a network of real estate investors and learned some best practices for real estate investing during a recession. While working full-time Megan began house hacking her primary residence while also convincing her tenants to help her implementing the Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat (BRRRR) strategy. Megan and Darik realized that by BRRRR, house hacking their home had doubled in value and that becoming debt free they had the opportunity to sell their primary residence and use the profits to passively invest in multifamily syndications to replace Megan's corporate salary. Today, Megan (35) & Darik (37) have a rapidly growing portfolio of over 2,225 units valued at over $531 million dollars. They both work from home and have the time freedom and financial freedom to spend quality time with their 3 year old daughter. Now, Megan and Darik get to go sailing, play rugby and travel as much as they want.

Vadim Rey
Vadim Rey was born in Ukraine, raised in Los Angeles, and educated in Boston. Having grown up blocks from Hollywood, CA, he was surrounded by wealth and yet lived in subsidized housing. Though his family and deaf parents did not have the comforts of money, they provided him with the grit, determination, and love that come from an immigrant family. Vadim commissioned into the Information Warfare Community out of the Boston ROTC Consortium in 2015 and will be resigning his commission in 2022 to invest in apartments, to work with youth-focused non-profits, and to travel full time. Vadim jumped into real estate after hearing enough senior Sailors talk about buying a house at every duty station. Using the VA loan, He bought a townhouse outside of his first duty station at Ft Meade, MD in 2018. Then he PCSd down to Norfolk, VA, joined ADPI’s first multifamily investing education cohort in 2019, invested in over 2,100 units as an LP, househacked a duplex using the VA loan again, secured his first GP position, and is now developing a real estate fund with Jonathan New, Corey Chonsky, and Andrew Ladner to make this world a better place.
