Megan and Jeff Ahern are real estate investors who buy cash-flowing assets in the American heartland while living in an island paradise. But their journey to get here wasn’t an easy one, and today you’ll hear their incredible story from start to finish.

Megan and Jeff openly share their evolution from party lifestyle and alcohol-fueled relationship problems in their marriage to getting sober and replacing drinking with an all-out focus on fitness, faith, and building wealth through real estate.

Despite going $50,000 into the hole as newbies, they didn’t give up on their dream and as a result they now own 20+ cash-flowing rentals, a profitable staging business, and are raising their 3 kids in Maui in a community of like-minded business owners.

Megan and Jeff also talk about:
- Spending $30,000 on an event as newbies and losing money on their first deal
- Moving from California to Lincoln, Nebraska to go all-in on rental properties
- Where they find deals – a lead source Brandon’s never talked about
- How they get 100% bank financing on their rehabs
- Investing in sober living houses and “medium-term rentals”
- The home staging business that rakes in $100K/year with “zero” effort
- Their advice to people thinking about getting sober
- What happened when former Marine Jeff’s parachute failed to deploy
- What they learned from “the 7-plex from hell”
- The books, quotes, and people that shaped who they are today
