Episode 95: Getting Started in Real Estate While on Active Duty with Patrick Kappel

The Lessons in Real Estate Show

Welcome to another episode!

Patrick Has been investing since 2008. Since then he and his wife have managed to acquire an impressive net worth and amount of real estate in a short amount of time individually, no syndications or partnerships involved. He enlisted right out of high school in the year 2000, went through the nuke program as a sub guy and did not stop applying at the naval academy until they said yes. During his A school days, he met Chief McGrath who taught him the value of real estate and how to get into it while on active duty. Soon after, he went into brokerage with the goal of helping people do and achieve what he has.

Once you've made an investment on a property, you can decide where your returns will come from: appreciation or cash flow. Ideally, a property should be able to provide both but the reality is far from it. Patrick shares with us his strategies for buying properties, using the economy and demographics to predict which properties will provide returns on appreciation or cash flow, and the best time to invest for either one. There’s a lot to learn from this episode so don’t miss it!
