What's going on, everyone? Welcome to Real Talk Real Estate. I'm David Green, and we have got an

awesome show for you all today on the David Green Show. I am joined by Brothers Joe and Chris Vechi,

like Peschi, but with a V. We're going to be talking about a deal that they did together.

So Chris reached out to me and said, hey, just want to let you know that one of your loan

officers saved my bacon on a deal that I thought was dead in the water. And I heard a little bit about it and thought this would be an awesome thing to bring to the guests so that those of you, they're trying to put deals together right now. Or those that are just curious about how real estate is working in 2025 can see how a deal was saved. So guys, welcome to the show.

Thank you.

Thanks, David.

Pleasure to be here.

I'm very glad to have you both.

So let's hear a little bit about how you guys ended up getting into real estate in the first place.

Okay.

Well, you know, like a good old brother, I'll take credit for getting Joe into real estate first.

I got first turned to real estate probably about 12, 13 years ago when I was living in Austin, Texas.

I bought my first condo there, and then I got turned on to a buddy of mine that was more heavily

involved in it. He introduced me to turnkey rentals. I started buying some turnkey properties in Memphis. And being a military

army officer, I've kind of used the same model and kind of method that a lot of people have used.

As far as everywhere that you get stationed, you do your research, find a good deal, buy a property.

And then when you leave that duty station,

rent it out. So I've been fairly successful with that. Of course, I've had challenges, you know,

over the past 17 and a half years, and I've been able to grow my portfolio to a moderate amount

of properties. And, you know, the deal we're talking about today is the first

one that Joey and I did together. I'll pass to Joey to talk about his experience. Yeah,
