In this episode of Real Talk with David, David sits down with Alter Denina, a former Air Force servicemember who transitioned into real estate and built a thriving business in just over a year.

Alter shares how the discipline and structure he gained in the military prepared him for the challenges of entrepreneurship, why he chose to focus on military buyers, and how social media became the engine behind his growth. He breaks down the power of niche marketing, creating educational content instead of generic home tours, and using VA loan expertise to deliver real value to clients.
