Real Estate Investing Accelerator

“In our family, we call it pulling the thread, which means you just take a step. Don’t get so overwhelmed to the point that you question if you’re able to do something, but pull the thread a little bit to see what happens and then pull it again and pull it again and it leads to the next thing…I enjoyed the White Feather approach because you’re not doing the analysis and getting stuck, but taking a step and taking a step and I feel ...

“Life insurance, real estate and the stock market are all tools…you can live your life and have your career and at the same time build generational wealth. It’s not just about making money, it’s not just about buying houses. It’s about growing your future. It’s about setting your goals and figuring out how to get them. That’s what excites me.”

“It feels tremendous. We’re now putting meaningful savings into the kids' college education funds and savings accounts…our daily life just feels better all around. We’re holding our heads higher and we’ve got more confidence. I appreciate all the guidance and mentorship through this and I’m really happy all of this worked out.”

“I walked away from a great paying job. It didn’t make sense on paper…what I learned about mindset [during the Real Estate Accelerator course] was a big reason why I decided to walk away from the job. I walked away without a job in hand, but I did have a plan.”

“I wanted to have more in terms of generational wealth to pass on to family…I could relate to your story…that was me too. I decided I was all in. I had the time, I was sitting on money and starting a company and decided I’d figure it out from there.”

“I probably got about 10 years' worth of learning out of the six-month course, but the network is unbelievable. I found my CPAs and my tax team all through the course. The power of the network will enable me to scale and grow. I would have one property by myself quietly if I tried to do this for multiple years on my own, but now I know where I want to be in 20 years and I know exactly how to get there. It’s insane…and it’s con...

“When we were starting our real estate business, we knew we needed to build our network…we wanted to keep our investor group and the people that we work with very tight and work with people that we could trust.”

- Jered DaCosta (USMA ‘04)

“This course has been instrumental in building out business from the network perspective. Every single one of our deals since moving out to Jacksonville and completing the course has included White ...

“The Accelerator was a turning point for how serious we got with our real estate investments and our portfolio.” 

- Jess Finnegan (USMA ‘01)

“One of the things that resonated with us is taking action. It was awesome to get the education and put it to use…the network that we have allowed us to go for it and invest. The network really kicked us off and introduced us to other aspects of the network that we’ve continued to use over the l...

“It's awesome that in the course itself, we talk a bit about house hacking and ask, how do we accelerate our financial freedom goals? This absolutely makes sense with where we're going, and where we want to be in our career. So it wasn't even a second thought and it’s a blessing to be a part of such a high volume of folks that are out there just making things happen. It's unbelievable how many people are doing t...

“It’s been, unlike anything I would have predicted. I thought I was going to learn some strategies and figure out how to buy land and make it pay for itself. And now I run three businesses and I'm actively doing stuff every day; it took off. And honestly, the videos on the course are not the most valuable thing in the class at all. It's the people that you're working with and talking with. It’s not by any means anyth...

“There’s a Kiyosaki quote that I like a lot. He says, I never say that I can't afford it. He says, I'm going to figure out how I can afford it. And that inspired how I financed a lot of these deals, because I don't have that much to work with.”   -Taylor Wing

“The power of two, three, four or five is way better than one, right? My dad will say, two heads are better than one, right? Yeah. I've got capital. I've got some experience. And there are some guys that don't have the capital, but they've got the hunger they’ve got the desire. What a great combination. I'm going to continue to leverage the relationships that I'm a part of, and continue to help people ...

“If you're not living your ideal life right now, the real question is what is holding you back? Nobody has all the answers, but when we come together, we can get pretty close to the center of the dartboard together…you have to ultimately take action in order to change anything in your life.” - Buddy Rushing (USNA ‘04)
