The three most common sources of retirement income are traditionally known as the three-legged retirement chair, which consists of pensions, social security, and personal savings. For decades, retirees and investors have been able to rely on the support of these three pillars. However, that chair has been broken in recent years,  forcing investors and soon-to-be retiring people to lean one foot over the other or  look for other sources of retirement income.

 "Why I go into these communities, to provide better living conditions because a lot of them are living in houses that just have not seen, like paint, haven't seen anything, any sort of upgrades since like the 40’s.

And so coming in and being able to redevelop these houses and give them a comfortable and a nice place to live, that's not an eyesore of a house falling down. That's a big thing and then being able to connect with the residents and stuff that are there, people that have questions, even my contractors, it's been great to be able to provide kind of financial literacy skills to them.

Serving your country is hard work, but there are rewards. One of them? You can finance your home purchase with a VA loan. They are supported by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and are available to military personnel, veterans, and eligible  spouses. 

In this episode  Andrew Kuntzman shares his story on how he optimized his VA loan into starting his journey to multifamily syndication. Come join us and listen in!

 Andrew Kuntzman said " Roofing was not even on my radar". Neither was Multifamily Real Estate Investing. He thought he'll be headed into Commercial Real Estate, but God had something different in mind.

He jumped into the industry in 2017, right before a storm of all storms in Lakewood. I didn't know the names of different flat roofs, and I called three-tab shingles three prongs. But I knew people, and I used to reach out to my network and find those in need. In 2017 I sold 10 million in Commercial roofing and HVAC, from Multifamily to Churches, and contracted my first 2 million on my 30-day mark in the industry. And I continue to grow and work with great partners nationwide.

 "I can't remember who originally told me, but they said, you know, your inner circle, you should have people that you trust that are going to help you grow and be a better person. And two of the people that I think anyone in real estate should have is a solid lender and a solid, broker."  - Andrew Kuntzman

"One of my favorite things about real estate is like, yes, someone else is paying my mortgage. That's an incredible thing. But I also have the opportunity to give back to these other people,  and make an impact on their lives and be different than any other landlord they've had.

I truly just feel so blessed. I have these things that I can pour back into other people and,  just allow my kids to see like how real estate can make a difference for other people. I mean, it's amazing. "  - Andrew Kuntzman

Tweetable Quotes:

 " Stop being stubborn because you're not going to hit your goals when you just try to do it by yourself. Everyone tells you multifamily investing is a team sport. It's true. You got to understand that there's truth to that and open yourself up to it. " -John Casmon

"What I would tell anyone is if you have a busy life, if you've got a full-time job, you got kids, you got things going on. If you really want to be active by all means, do it, roll your sleeves up, get at it. But if you just want the passive income, you just want to diversify your portfolio. It was way to insulate myself from a financial uncertainty.

So my lesson is figure out how you get from where you want to be, where you're at today to where you want to be without, so much stress and pain and feeling like you've got to do it all your self. " -John Casmon

You have to take risks and believe that what you are doing is the right thing to do. That’s what I did. The reason why I did invest from being abroad was I wanted to make my money work for me.

And that's what I did,  I took a risk and that's has been the best risk ever. "  -Keishia Kennedy
