David Pere joined the Marine Corps in August of 2008. Since that time, he has lived in or traveled to many unique places around the world, including a combat tour in Afghanistan.

David got started in real estate investing in 2015. He house-hacked a duplex with the FHA loan and lived in it for a little while until getting married to his beautiful wife, Kimberly, and receiving orders to Hawaii. While stationed in Hawaii, David bought a 10-unit apartment in Missouri and has had continued success with real estate investing. Now, with over 100 rental units in his personal portfolio, David has achieved complete financial freedom!

Through these experiences, From Military to Millionaire was born, with the goal of teaching service members and veterans how to build wealth through real estate investing, entrepreneurship, and personal finance.

This book is structured to help create the best of someone who is in the service. Regardless of your current position, whether it’s an E-1 or O-5 (because O-6’s likely aren’t reading it). The amount of information I have learned from this book is unfathomable. I have read numerous self help books towards finances or military life, but this takes the cake as being the best read. Take the information here to help further your life in and out of the military!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book on base level military investing knowledge

The media could not be loaded.
 I’m joining the army, and go to boot camp in a few weeks. I wanted to buy this book to increase my knowledge about the benefits military gives you. First of all, it was relatable worded book and I felt a connection when David mentions he is from my home state. It covers a great deal of topics on a base level, and some things like TA (covering $3k a year not the current $4.5k) are not 100% accurate. A few pages weren’t cut exactly right either. Regardless, I went through the book in a day because David is a guy that writes very down to earth, and gives you the baseline of everything you’d need to be successful. It’s up to you to research and follow through with everything he writes of. I think it would be fantastic if he were to write another book of a similar style that was much larger and further in depth for someone like myself who has researched and been familiar with the military millionaire community. All in all, it was a great read that would break the military stereotype if it was a requirement to read in boot camp.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book written by a service member who probably cares more about your future than you do.

No sales pitch, no slant. This book is filled with fantastic advice from a guy who has been there and done that. He shares a unique perspective that comes not only from his personal experiences (honest and undiluted) but also his high-performing network in order to show you the ropes. Real estate to stocks, insurance to debt, he covers it all, and in a refreshingly straightforward and upfront manner that has become unfortunately rare in the self financial literacy community. If you are in the service, independent of age, rank, or branch - do yourself a favor and buy this f***ing book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I have studied real estate investing before I read this and specifically from Brandon Turner Like David mentions he has, and it was nice to get a refresher and see how I can translate the same REI tips and strategies to military life! This book covers many different topics and suggests other areas to go for more info. If you want a Birds eye view of how to enjoy the military and not have to get a job when you get out, this is the book for you!

Just finished reading this awesome book! You can immediately tell he dedicated a lot of work and time into this book, and has a passion for helping his fellow brothers/sisters in arms to find financial freedom. He literally lays out a step by step plan to set you up for financial freedom, specifically geared to military members. It is such a great resource for anyone in the military, especially those who are just beginning their military careers.

Military leaders, I highly recommend that you get this book to be able to set up those entrusted to your leadership for success.

THIS IS A MUST READ FOR EVERY MILITARY MEMBER!!!

If you read and follow the advice and knowledge bombs in this book from day one in the military, you'll be building wealth like a boss. I had to learn all of this the hard way over 10 years of service and wish I'd had a guide like this to get started on the right foot. Don't buy a new expensive car, don't wait to invest, take advantage of all the benefits you have as a military member to build financial freedom while you serve.

READ AND HEED THIS ADVICE! I can't stress this enough!

If you are a fan of David's Pere's podcast The Military Millionaire (and I definitely am) then you will love this book. It cuts straight to the point, is completely devoid of bull, and is an enjoyable read. The author created the guide he wishes he had when he joined the military - and I wish I had it, too. It is a fast read and FULL of great ideas - my copy is highlighted and marked up in the margins. I really enjoyed this book and cannot recommend it more!

I wish this book would have been around when I first joined the military! Even now, as someone who retired several years ago, I found a lot of really good material that either I can use or pass on to someone else. Highly recommend this book!
