Episode #28 – What The Marine Corps Taught Keith Gillespie About Real Estate Investing

When you think of a soldier, you probably think of admirable attributes: Military men are known for being disciplined, mentally and physically strong and honorable.

And while real estate investing is nothing like a warzone deployment, you can get more leads and close more deals by applying what the military has known for centuries.

Keith Gillespie is an active duty Marine and real estate investor on the Island of Oahu, HI, where he runs Crowne Properties with a small team of professionals. On this episode, you’ll hear him describe how his military career has helped him become a successful investor.
