About Tim Hubbard:

Tim is originally from Sacramento, CA and started his career in real estate as an investment broker selling multi-family and commercial properties in Northern California. He worked with a small team of five who completed cumulatively over $2 billion in transactions. He has been personally investing in real estate for the last 11 years and has since acquired a multi-million dollar portfolio comprised primarily of small multi-family properties in multiple markets.

He has traveled extensively throughout the world in over 70 countries and stayed in hundreds of different short-term rental accommodations. About 7 years ago he realized the high returns that could be made from converting properties in to furnished short-term rentals and renting them by the night. Through trial and error he has figured out how to set up operations so that the business could be passive and has since successfully accommodated over 15,000 guests with excellent reviews from all over the world.

He continues to expand with the help of his teams and manages everything remotely from his home in Medellin, Colombia. He also teaches others to do the same and shows them how they can successfully increase their income 3,4, or even 8x by implementing the right strategies to convert existing long term rentals in to nightly rentals.

He holds a degree in International business and an MBA from the University of California, Davis.

He’s a co-author in the Amazon best-selling book “Resilience” and the host of the popular “Short Term Rental Riches” podcast.

The Green Vet Homes’ mission is to purchase, rehab, and rent houses. Part of the profit from the deals they do goes to veteran-related causes, and some of the homes they rent are rented to homeless veterans through a voucher program called HUD/VASH.

While growing Green Vet Homes, Kirby started working closely with Bunker Labs, a national non-profit organization that helps veteran entrepreneurs start and grow businesses. After receiving huge support from Bunker Labs while growing his business, Kirby joined the Bunker Labs team as the Chief Operating Officer. Bunker Labs currently has offices in 28 markets across the US and continues to grow and assist veteran entrepreneurs.

He quickly realized that real estate was something he had a passion for and committed to pursuing it further when his time in the service was over. He took a real estate license course while still in the Navy and, upon separation from service in 2012, immediately went to work selling his buddies from his old unit homes as they transferred to Virginia from other duty stations.

Eventually, he developed an appetite to create real wealth and dove headfirst into his first multifamily acquisition, a 13-unit property in Norfolk. Now, over 400 units later, he is a full-time multifamily acquisitions specialist.

About David Befort:

I grew up in Kansas, and six weeks after graduating from high school I left for the US Air Force Academy. I graduated in 2003 with a bachelors in Business Management and was commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force. I went straight to pilot training where upon completion I was assigned to fly the A-10 Thunderbolt II (affectionately known as the “Warthog”). I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a combat pilot and a military leader.

In 2014 I hung up the flight suit to pursue a different direction in my life. Since then I have spent the majority of my time learning how to build and grow businesses, reading hundreds of books in order to understand how money and the economy really works, and surrounded myself with whom I consider to be the top financial minds and the top real estate investors in North America. I have discovered several financial strategies that wealthy families and large corporations use that are actually available to everyone. The problem is that no one wants to tell us about them. Why? Because it takes our money out from under their control. So it has become my mission and my privilege to reveal these strategies to regular families, small business owners and real estate investors.

About Josh Ferrari:

My name is Joshua Ferrari. I grew up not knowing anything about finances or investing. I always thought I was just going to work until I was 65, retire on a farm out in the country, and travel with my wife to see the world. I had no background in financial education and I seriously hated school. Yet, somehow the idea of investments caught my attention when I read that famous book titled “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. My eyes got big, my mind opened wide and I began diving into the idea of wealth creation. “How am I possibly going to ever make enough money to live the lifestyle I want and create a legacy and stability for my family?” Then I found real estate.

I specialize in raising private capital, locating, negotiating, & acquiring value-add multifamily assets, & teaching others how to follow in my footsteps.

I have grown to have a passion like no other for multifamily real estate. My journey started 2 and a half years ago when I bought my first multifamily property which was a fourplex. My experience throughout that journey has given me the needed expertise in managing contractors, subcontractors, and materials for multi-unit rehabilitations.

About Stu Grazier and David Gutierrez:

When we (Stuart and David) decided to start a business, our early conversations were not about goals for self-employment, profits, or wealth. The initial conversations were about how to create a faith-based business focused on giving back to the Church and community that would enable financial freedom for its customers and team members. Being active duty military members at the time of Storehouse’s inception, we wanted to focus on serving those who serve this country, hoping to provide a path to financial independence that would give military members options to continue serving or transition from their respective service, a choice based on desire rather than need.

We have a passion for serving, giving, real estate investing, and enjoy the benefits of buying turnkey products. On the foundation of our faith and passions, we knew we could provide a superior experience by simply ALWAYS being honest with our clients. Storehouse 3:10 Ventures is the result.

Stuart and David are committed to fiercely protecting the integrity of Storehouse 3:10 and providing superior investment opportunities to our customers and team. We would love to take this journey with you.

About Jeremy Porto:

Jeremy joined the Air Force in 2006 after graduating from the University of Virginia with a B.S. in Civil Engineering.  Nine years and six deployments later, his time as a USAF special operations pilot ended, and he began to invest in real estate full time.  He started by buying single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, and quads.  After having flipped and wholesaled dozens of homes (including meth and Chinese drywall-affected homes), Jeremy realized that he had strayed from his goal of building a passive income.  He began to aggressively pursue rental properties.

Now Jeremy owns about 50 doors across three states and is singularly focused on multifamily apartments.  His plan is to scale into bigger and bigger apartment acquisitions through syndication.  He is the founding partner of Blue Ridge Investment Partners – a multifamily syndication company focused on buying-value add apartment complexes.  His why is to achieve a true feeling of happiness by spending the time that he desires with his wife and two sons.

I have chosen to invest in real estate as the medium to achieve my own financial freedom as well as to create the passive income to give back and to influence positive change.

The realization that financial freedom allows all of us to devote our time and resources to our true passions also influences my desire to provide financial education to our youth giving them the greatest opportunity to put themselves and their families in a position to live an incredible life!

I am a Naval Officer with 19 years of military experience leading men and women with diverse backgrounds. My proudest achievements are those times in which I was able to positively influence the course of a life.

About Brad Penley:

I started off owning and managing a portfolio of single-family and small multifamily homes across the country as the Navy would change my duty station. I knew I wanted to scale my portfolio, but I was constantly dealing with tenant problems, dealing with maintenance calls, dealing with property managers who wouldn't respond to my urgent emails, and calls. Then I found out about passive investing in large multifamily properties where my risk was spread across multiple highly intelligent investors, vacancy risk was spread across 100 or more tenants, and the property was professionally managed by a 100% onsite manager and maintenance team. I received checks in the mail every quarter, and no longer had to deal with the headaches of buying and managing my own properties while still getting the cash flow and HUGE tax benefits. Now I'm trying to help my friends and family do the same while giving to charities that help homeless veterans.
