Does your life plan support being in a home for three to five years and not paying rent to someone else? And it's a great time to buy a house. We have a North star and the North star is to put those military first-time home buyers into the market in the best way possible come hell or high water." - Matt
"What was really awesome is I actually didn't leave anything behind. I mean, I put the uniform away, but I still have everything about the Navy that I always loved, which is all the people.
