He later got out, and worked for UPS, until his wife’s interest and budding career in real estate drew him in as well. Today, Craig runs his own real estate brokerage. On this episode we talk to him a bit about what it takes to become an agent and the steps veterans can take if a career in real estate sounds interesting. We also ask about his take on the housing market and the associated benefits many veterans have earned like VA loans and IRRLs. *Links: * Find Craig on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-hatcher-963a0a14/) Craig’s business: Georgia Residential Realty (http://grratl.com/), LLC National Association of Realtors - certified military home relocation professionals (http://www.militaryrelocationpro.org/find-mrp/why-use-mrp) Department of Veteran’s Affairs info on VA loans (https://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/index.asp) Military.com: IRRRL Facts for Veterans (https://www.military.com/money/va-loans/irrrl-facts-for-veterans.html) Nerd Wallet: VA Streamline Refinance (VA IRRRL); A Fast Way to a Better Mortgage (https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/mortgages/va-streamline-refinance-or-irrrl-what-is-it-how-does-it-work)

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
