Parmer is a dynamic real estate investor, coach for Master Passive Income, co-host on the Breakthrough Investor podcast, and an entrepreneur with a multifaceted background. 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.
