For many people, investing in real estate is a means to an end. You put money into real estate to earn your way toward financial freedom. But the big benefit is to have more time to do the things that really matter to you. Many investors like to spend more time with their families, but it could be anything that you’re passionate about. In this episode, you’ll hear from a veteran who’s passionate about helping other veterans.   Eric Upchurch is an Army Special Operations veteran with a passion for educating the military community on how to create long-term wealth through real estate investing. While serving our nation, he completed five combat deployments, managed a 27-man squad, and earned a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Science.   Eric has also invested in thousands of multifamily, storage, mobile home park and student housing units as a General Partner over the last decade. And he currently serves as Co-Founder of Active Duty Passive Income (ADPI) and as Chair of the National Fundraising for the non-profit Veterans Community Project.   Among his other accomplishments: He’s a certified High Performance Coach, co-author of the book “Military House Hacking”, and a frequent guest on real estate podcasts with more than 100 appearances since 2019. His mission is to “educate, empower and to help people grow” with a specific goal to donate $1 million annual, and to end veteran homelessness in this decade.   At RealWealth, we also educate and empower people from all walks of life on the life-changing benefits of real estate investing.
