David Pere

David Pere is a Marine Corps veteran of 13 years, and is currently in the reserves. In 2015, he purchased his first real estate investment–A duplex that he house hacked–and after seeing first hand the way that cash flow could change his life, he went all in on real estate and improving his personal finances!

In 5 years, David 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! Along the way he started documenting his journey on this website (and social media)…which blossomed into a massive community of “Military Millionaires” and future Military Millionaires, that he is now blessed to make his main focus.

Currently, David spends his time helping service members, veterans, and their families learn how to build wealth through real estate investing, entrepreneurship, and personal finance!
