So the big question is this, what would you do if money didn't matter? So you had millions in your bank account, what would you focus on? Would you spend more time with your family, with your wife, with your kids? Take family vacations.

Would you pursue your gifts and talents and dreams? Serve your local community, teach others, serve your church. You see if what you would do if money didn't matter, it was pursuing your gifts and talents and dreams to serve others, and that is probably what you should be doing.

The problem is most people are in the rat race, living five inches in front of their face with no time to pursue what they were born to do. That is the problem, and the solution is to develop enough passive income to replace your working income so you can quit your job and be free to live your life the way you were created to.

That is a solution and this podcast will show you how...

Ryan Enk: What's going on everybody? This is Ryan, your host, with cashflow dad life. Welcome to another awesome episode. I'm stoked for our guest today...

Clay Popham is kind of a local investor here and uh, he's actually crushing it right now here in Louisiana, but he's been doing real estate investing all over the place. And originally I don't think you're from Louisiana, right? You came from, was it Georgia?

Clay Popham: Yeah, I grew up in south Georgia and lived all over the country.

One of the reasons that I was really excited to have clay come on is because he has done a tremendous job at raising private capital and with his new company, a High Ground Solutions Llc, he's raised over a million dollars and the way he did it was pretty easy.

So I invited him on the podcast to share with us just his story and how he did that and hopefully you guys can glean some tips and get some confidence and knowing that it's really quite easy to raise private capital for I really good real estate investment if you know what you're doing.

So thank you so much, Clay, for agreeing to come on the show. And it's a pleasure to have you here...

Clay Popham: Yeah, thanks for having me, Ryan.

Ryan Enk: So if you could just start us off, tell us a little bit about your backstory. What made you want to get started with real estate investing in the first place?

Clay Popham: Well, I don't know how deep you want me to go into this...

Ryan Enk: Deep...

Clay Popham: So at 17 I joined the marine corps and was doing marine for things. Uh, after about six years got picked up to be a part of a commissioning program that sent me back to college. So I decided to go to Auburn University even though I'd never been to the state of Alabama the day that I showed up there.

As I was driving around looking for apartments that were $1,200 a month for rent, I drove past the townhouse. I had a for sale by owner called them up. They gave me a price. I called the bank and maybe preface this a little bit more.
