In this episode, I sit down with Vince Gethings—a 16-year Air Force veteran who used a $0 VA loan to kickstart a real estate journey that now includes 6 businesses and over $100M in assets under management. We talk about his first house hack, how he built a 20-unit portfolio while stationed in Hawaii, and the systems he used to scale into commercial multifamily, home services, and beyond. Vince shares the mistakes that could’ve cost him six figures, how he finds the right partners, and why being operationally excellent matters more than flashy headlines. This one is packed with
