While working for the Air National Guide for nearly two decades, Ryan Proffit has simultaneously built an ever-growing real estate portfolio. With both short-term rentals and long-term rentals in his wheelhouse, Ryan is continuously growing his impressive real estate repertoire. He is remarkable in his ability to continuously act with integrity and accountability and is able to get access to new deals, and simultaneously propel his business to success by taking the networking out of making true and honest conversations with key figures in the industry.

Avery speaks with Ryan about his experience in the industry and what he learned starting out with his initial investments to the many units that he owns today. She speaks to him about techniques to getting started, from how to secure a business loan to more specific military loans like the Career Starter Loan. They discuss common mistakes that people make early on like panic buys and the risks that one faces. Avery and Ryan also go into depth into the power of connections in the industry and the value of treating everyone who you interact with with respect and kindness, and not only good things but additional powerful connections will follow.
