Description

In this episode of Veteran Ventures, we sit down with Chris Cano – Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and Partner at REV Mortgage.

Chris spent 10 years in the Navy on fast attack submarines. He started originating loans while still on active duty and went on to buy 7 houses in Hawaii, proving that building wealth doesn’t have to wait until after the military.

Now based in San Antonio, Chris leads the REV Mortgage team and helps veterans across the country understand and leverage their VA loan benefits to build generational wealth.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • How Chris started his career buying a small townhouse with a VA loan and leveraged that into his current portfolio

  • Why every veteran should understand their VA loan

  • What to do when your transition plans take an unexpected turn

    • The power of mindset, mentorship, and mission in real estate


    “The first time you own a piece of the country you defended shouldn’t be when you're buried six feet beneath it.”
