From Marine Security Guard to DS Agent with 90 Rental Units with Joe Burkhead
This episode is a re-run from earlier this year.
Joe Burkhead grew up in a small farming community in central Kentucky with a population of less than 400 people. In a place where fast food and manual labor jobs were plentiful, Joe knew no one in his hometown that was a serious investor. After joining the Marines Corps and being sent to Paris with the Marine Security Guard (MSG) program, Joe picked up “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and was inspired to invest in real estate.
At 23, with savings largely earned from his first year as an MSG, Joe bought a four-unit apartment building. This purchase launched an amazing real estate investment journey spanning two decades, during which Joe built a small multifamily property empire in his hometown.
In this interview, Joe shares his experiences with:
- investing in all phases of the real estate market, including during periods of high mortgage interest rates (6%+!) and in periods of low inventory
Joe’s incredible story is a testament to what just one person on a federal government salary can accomplish through sheer determination and persistence over time, no matter where in life you start. Be sure to listen to the end to catch Joe’s best tips for real estate investors!
