Favorite Quotes
"So many people don't know. Every time I talk to a veteran, they, number one, haven't even applied for disability. Number two, don't even know what their VA loan is or let alone want to use it because they're too scared. And it's just a huge tool to help yourself out for future building. Because right now, you almost have to start investing in order to retire early or retire at all at this point." - Ken Nash
"It's so nice to get to a point where your business is funding more investments for you and your money works for you." - Ken Nash
"I think property management isn't super hard to do yourself especially if you have just one or two properties. Get the hang of it. I'd rather know the process of being a property management person before I go and get a property management company." - Ken Nash
"Those benefits (VA loan) are given to you for a reason. If you don't use them, then you're going to be wasting out on so much time where you could have been accruing that money on appreciation value." - Ken Nash
