Those lessons, coupled with a life of hard work and continued financial education have helped put him and his family on a path to financial independence. Tune in to learn how he and his wife got started in real estate, his “multi-bucket” balanced strategy, and some hard landlord lessons learned. This episode is especially useful to any military member or veteran thinking about starting out in single-family rentals.

Rich owns 20 rental homes free and clear and he did it on a military salary! This episode is filled with some great advice from Air Force member (Investor/Blogger/etc.) Rich Carey, who will retire financially independent in 2020 after turning from Wall Street to service for his country. Rich shocked me when he said, "military members should NEVER buy a house at their duty station" (with one caveat).  Does he really think owning a home free and clear is the best way to go?  What does he think about single-family versus multi-units? What's his advice if you're broke with no credit? What's his advice if you have $100K to invest? How the heck does he manage remotely?

Want to be financially independent by age 41? How about on a military income? If you think that sounds impossible, listen to this interview with Doug Nordman from Oahu, Hawaii! Doug and his wife have been financially independent (and retired "early") since before "FIRE" was a cool movement! Yes, he's a real estate investor, but that's not his source of retirement income. More importantly, he is a sound financial guy with real expertise in how military members might plan ahead to REALLY retire when they leave the military after 20 years.  Other military veterans would do well to listen to a few of Doug's sound advice nuggets and be sure to check out his book (either buy from Amazon or check out of one of 100+ libraries it's located in throughout country) - The Military Guide to Financial Independence and Retirement.  Also listen to some great tips on buying (or not buying) a home at your duty station and shark risks for surfers!
