The Record
I bought my first house because of his advice. He asked me: “What’s the worst that can happen if you can’t make the payment?” That simple question gave me the confidence to take the first step. Today I own four houses — and it all started with that conversation.
I found School of Grit about 18 months out from transitioning, when my plan for what came next was nebulous at best. Nine months later I’ve moved at an exponential pace toward building something for my future family that would have been unimaginable. My entire way of thinking about money, work, and business has changed.
As a single E-5, I needed to know I could responsibly get into real estate without BAH. Corey taught me enough that I built my own confidence — and I bought the house I’m in right now. They meet you where you’re at; for me that was virtually no knowledge. Learning from them changed my life.
I was working, you know, 50, 60 hours a week, and didn’t have much control of my life… now I’m very financially independent, I have freedom of my own schedule, I book all my own jobs.
Everyone on this page is a real person who did the work, and they agreed to let us share what happened. Nobody here was paid for their story.
These are individual results, not typical ones. They are what these specific people achieved with their own circumstances, capital, timing and effort behind them. We are not telling you that you will get the same outcome, because we do not know that and neither does anyone else who shows you a number. Most people who start do not end up where the person above them ended up.
