Combining his two expertise, flipping multifamily investments and strong military background, Hutch The Marine Investor has found the right blend of helping people in the military. As one of the main concerns after leaving active duty is cash flow, he is committed to bringing together veterans and high-net-worth investors to create passive income so veterans don't have to work another year in the civilian sector.
His goal:
- Help service members get their time back and enjoy life even before the age of retirement.
In today’s episode of the Expertish Podcast, our guest, Shelon "Hutch The Marine Investor" Hutchinson will talk about how he translates his military experience into successful multifamily syndication strategies. He will also speak about mindset, how he is able to lead and help people, and the power of networking and partnership.
Shelon “Hutch The Marine Investor” Hutchinson is a Master Sergeant (E-8) in the United States Marine Corps. Throughout his 22 years career, he has served in many leadership roles in Marine Corps aviation. He has successfully executed over $2.4 million in single-family real estate transactions, which include over $870k as a real estate agent (currently not active) and over $11m in multifamily property acquisition.

"If I can do that stuff, anybody can. And if you don't think you can, you are making up excuses that you don't have faith in yourself. And until you have faith in yourself, that's when you're going to start seeing some success." - Tim Kelly
"It's not all about money. It's all about the time and the freedom that you get when you have a lot of streams of income. And when you have a lot of streams of income, you have more choices, more abundance. You could deliver more value to more people and you can help more people." - Tim Kelly
"Many people think that you need millions of dollars, a ton of experience and a lot of time in order to be an owner in a large multi-family deal or like a big apartment complex. You just need a little bit of knowledge that anybody could learn and then you just need to understand how to structure deals and put deals together." - Tim Kelly
"Most people have set large goals but they don't have the faith that they could actually take it down. So they don't have the confidence to start making steps to take action. It all comes down to faith." - Tim Kelly
"You could morph your mindset and you could transition and literally change your mindset to be a completely different, way more successful and happier person." - Tim Kelly
"Never park your cash in a car or a mobile home that goes down in value. Park your cash in an asset that appreciates every single month, that goes up in value, and that you could borrow other people's money to go buy." - Tim Kelly
"Until you have faith in yourself, that's when you're going to start seeing some success. You need to hang out with other people who have faith in themselves and who are taking action on that faith and who are not being selfish, but they're building wealth for legacy and the generations behind them." - Tim Kelly
"Choose wisely who you hang out with because those are the people that you will directly reflect and emulate without even thinking about it." - Tim Kelly

Favorite Quotes
"At the end of the day, our goal here is to create passive income that exceeds our expenses. The fastest way to start building that passive income is to acquire the assets that are going to pay for it. The fastest way to acquire the assets is to use other people's money." - Erik Hitzelberger
"The number one way to get into real estate is to find a dealer and find a way to make money on it. But don't always shoot yourself short. Maybe there are other options, other strategies that could make sense besides saving up a bunch of money." - Jared Kelley
"The money is the easy part. There's a lot of money out there and it's sitting on the sidelines and people would gladly give it to you if you can show them a way to turn a profit from. If you can put together the deal, the money will come." - Erik Hitzelberger
"Sometimes we forget that our trade or our knowledge is worth something and it doesn't just have to be money that's on the table. Buying is the number one thing to do. If you buy right, the money's going to fall." - Jared Kelley
"You don't have to jump all into this multimillion-dollar rental company. It doesn't need to be multifamily, that's not maybe a starting point for you. It could be for somebody if you find the right deal. But for those who are just starting out, it can be smaller steps." - Ryan Breznik
"The worst place you can have your money is in cash. The higher the inflation rate, the worse that is. Everyone should have a savings account to cover unexpected costs. After that, the money that you have is losing value every single day. “ - Erik Hitzelberger
"If you're not working on developing your own operational plan for your finances, no one else is. It's just sitting there. Time goes by and time's never on your side." - Erik Hitzelberger
"Don't beat yourself up about those past mistakes. But utilizing them and analyzing that portion of your life or where you are as an investor is important." - Ryan Breznik
"Somebody is going to control your finances. Somebody is going to control your time. I think that person should be you. You're doing yourself a huge disservice if it's not you. So take the actions, find the right people, get yourself educated, and get started." - Erik Hitzelbeger
