Reg A Funds vs Traditional Syndication with Kevin Brenner

Episode 122:

There are countless ways to get into real estate. Our guest for this episode Kevin Brenner, talks to us about getting started in real estate investing through real estate investment funds.

Kevin began his real estate investing journey in late 2018 after using his Veteran Affairs (VA) loan entitlement to house hack a Quadplex in Savannah, Georgia. Through careful quality improvements, Kevin was able to renovate each unit and raise rent over $500 per month per unit. Less than six months later, Kevin used his newfound knowledge and leveraged his network to raise $85,000 to close on another Quadplex in the same neighborhood! In July of 2019, Kevin joined the ranks of the Active Duty Passive Income team where he dedicated himself to helping other service members and veterans achieve similar success in real estate. Kevin regularly uses his platform as Co-Host of the Active Duty Passive Income Podcast, founder of Operation A.T.O.M., The Action Takers Only Mastermind, and Director of Single Family Education to mentor thousands of military real estate investors worldwide looking to build passive income through smart investments!
