I am here to answer questions about real estate entrepreneurship, income property ownership, and how the real estate industry is an ideal way for veterans to build careers, continue to serve, and create a sustainable impact.
I am a Marine deeply rooted in Texas that has an expectation for veterans to win in America.
I maintain a simple mission filled with a bigger purpose of empowering the veteran community while navigating entrepreneurial ventures. With clear vision to be defined by the change we make – both financial and societal – mindful of the interdependence between the two.
Connect, collaborate to capitalize to create change.

Sgt Andy Williams I have not seen your show, but will watch it. You are a good role model for someone that wants to be a successful entrepreneur. What part did the Marine Corps play in providing the roots for your determination to excel?

Sgt (Join to see) I was in Fast Company. In my business and real estate, I apply o-smear to the business. I build teams and get out the way. When we are doing a project, no one can do everything, so it’s important to be able to lead; know the capabilities and limitations of your team.

Hi Sgt Andy Williams, thanks for coming on for a Q&A today. I just have 1 question for you.
How does a Marine SGT with an infantry background get into real estate? Better yet what helped guide you down that specific path of entrepreneurship?

SSgt Timothy Prevost Real Estate investing is much like small unit tactics. Infantry Marines do well; it’s just a mission.
Buy low, add value, sell high. Manage the team until the mission is over. Each project is a mission. You get started by learning. Veterans can be great rehabbers. We have the skills to build value and manage teams.

Thanks for comming on Rallypoint. Actually I have about three questions to ask you being that your in Real Estate and have some idea on what the consumer prefers as well as what you have personally experienced. So here it goes and thank you in advance for taking the time to answer:
1. In your personal experience, would a personal residence in or near a light rail or trolley line command a higher asking price on the market than one on or near a city bus line? Does the consumer care to pay a premium for one over the other? Would a tax assesor value one higher than the other or be about the same price?
2. What is your opinion of swimming pools? Money pit or worth the expense for the added sale price. I notice that some flippers put in a pool to sell the house faster but a good portion of homeowners avoid them as a money pit. It's kind of weird that each views a pool differently.
3. Here is a hot button issue because I am curious which direction society is trending. Where do you think the market is today in saleable properties. Racially segregated neighborhoods or racially diverse neighborhoods? I suspect it is the latter but I don't have much experience across a broad area as you might have.

SPC Erich Guenther to your first question, I think you should get an appraisal when you buy a property. You will see if there’s going to be a discounts only value because of the proximity to something that’s less attractive. On your second question I stay away from pools for income properties and investment properties (mostly) because like you stated there are certain people.
For your last question, reference the investing in opportunity act. That’s the future.
