Brent Bowers
Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Brent Bowers, as they talk about how he went from serving the military to purchasing, selling lands, and now earning about $41,000 in an average of monthly passive income.
 
Brent purchased his first property in 2007 and rented it out high on the market, but with what happened the next year, Brent knew he needed to do something different – he entered the military. Although even during his service, Brent's passion for real estate stayed with him.
 
Brent now buys various land at massive discounts with his whole team and sells it at a premium with seller financing. In this episode, Brent lays down his process and methods of dealing with potential properties. He also shares what he believes to be a golden lesson he learned from his experience with tenants, those, and more as you tune in with us.
