The Rich Somers Report

On today’s episode Rich sits down with David Pere - Entrepreneur, Real Estate Investor, Podcast Host, Author, Public Speaker, and Financially Free Marine. Dave is a 13-year Marine Corps veteran. In 2015, he purchased his first real estate investment– a duplex he house hacked, and then went all in on real estate. In 5 years he went from a negative net worth, to a millionaire with 100+ rental units, and was able to transition off active duty to work for himself.
