His journey began at 18 when he enlisted in the U.S. Marines, where he served for nearly seven and a half years, balancing active duty and reserve components while contributing to the family business of house painting. However, William's ambition pushed him beyond watching paint dry. He transitioned to law enforcement, becoming a police once after completing the police academy. Yet, during the COVID-19 pandemic, his role was abruptly constrained, leading him to seek new avenues for growth. A chance encounter with the Master Passive Income podcast ignited his passion for real estate. Inspired by the teachings of Dustin, William immersed himself in the program, rapidly achieving over $2000 in passive income monthly from strategic real estate investments. Driven by this success, William expanded his portfolio, acquiring a mobile home park, a venture that underscored his willingness to leap into the unknown and learn through experience. His expertise and zeal caught the attention of Dustin Heiner, who invited him to become a coach for Master Passive Income in early 2023, enabling him to guide others on their paths to financial freedom. In November 2023, William's journey took another exciting turn when he was asked to co-host the Breakthrough Investor podcast alongside Charles Rose. Embracing this new role, he left his sales position at the family business, a move that aligned perfectly with his desire for flexibility and family time. Capitalizing on his construction background and entrepreneurial spirit, William launched a successful handyman service. His business quickly grew through referrals, allowing him to maintain a flexible schedule and prioritize family life while continuing to invest in real estate and contribute to the podcast. William's story is a testament to his resilience, adaptability, and commitment to helping others achieve financial independence. As a husband and father, he balances his professional endeavors with a rich family life, embodying the principles he teaches: leveraging smart investments to create a fulfilling and flexible lifestyle.

Estate planning has to be one of the most complex and foreign topics to most real estate investors. Yet, it is one of the most important as you spend your life generating passive income, building wealth, and taking advantage of tax strategy through 1099 exchanges and cost segregation. You can even have a will- but what happens to your empire once you die? Plus, add in the complications that could present for your heirs.  Jonathan recently met a state planning attorney, Sean Lohman, to discuss the situation with his parents and their property. Sean explained very complex topics, such as wills and trusts, power of attorney, beneficiaries, medical or healthcare power of attorney, and so much more. He also found some gaps in Jonathan’s own estate planning. And what real estate podcast would be complete without covering this super important topic for you? Sean is an attorney at the Lohman Law Offices, a second-generation law firm in Louisville Kentucky. Sean specializes in estate planning and is also the host of the Uncontested podcast.    Visit lohmanlaw.com to connect with Sean Lohman and begin your estate planning.  Want to learn more about launching and scaling your realestate business through short term rentals?
