How To Achieve Financial Freedom in The Military with Rich Carey and Doug Nordman! | From Military to Millionaire Podcast

Episode: 131
Rich Carey and Doug Nordman
Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with guests Doug Nordman and Rich Cary as they talk about investing and asset allocations during the pandemic. While in the military, Rich paid off $230k for a mortgage. Now, he's acquired a fourplex and six-plex during the pandemic as an addition to his properties.
Later, Doug shares a story on getting a 529 account for a granddaughter and explains what it teaches about picking an asset allocation that one can live with personally. For Doug, everything flows, first and foremost, out of figuring out what one can tolerate in an asset allocation.
In this episode, listen as they also throw in their two cents on scaling and managing properties and what they hold as personal opinions on what 'sure money' truly is, especially for service members.
About Doug Nordman and Rich Cary:
Retired at age 41 after 20 years with the U.S. Navy's submarine force, today Doug Nordman is an enthusiastic surfer, an omnivorous reader, a martial arts student, and a veteran of many chaotic home-improvement projects. With his retired Navy Reserve spouse, they raised their daughter in Hawaii.
Rich believes that conservative investing is superior to aggressive tactics. He's been successful with conservative index fund real estate investing. Rich currently owns 30 units, with 20 single-family homes paid off. He has served 20 years as a Special Agent in the Air Force (similar to NCIS). After retiring from the United States Air Force, he is now living in Montgomery, Alabama, where all of his properties are located.
