Eric Upchurch is an Army Special Operations veteran, real estate investor, and co-founder of the military investing community Active Duty Passive Income.

Eric wakes up every day with a single mission: to end veteran homelessness. He’s also one of the best-connected people in the real estate investing world. Today he shares stories from before, during, and after his military service; delivers an eye-opening explanation of why so many veterans struggle with mental health after leaving the military; and outlines a simple, repeatable path to financial freedom – whether you’re in the military or not.

Eric also talks about:
- Why veterans feel “chemical” withdrawal symptoms after retiring from the military

- Using a VA loan to buy a 4-unit apartment building
- Why he dabbled in several real estate strategies before picking one

- Marriage and fatherhood
- Simplifying his business and spending less time on his phone
