In this episode, Ginny chats with Don Spafford, a real estate investor specializing in RV resorts, build-to-rent communities, and private lending. Don shares how his diverse ventures focus on creating vibrant, profitable spaces like campgrounds with marinas and outdoor amenities, as well as attainable multifamily housing with community-driven features. Learn how his "invest where you play" philosophy improves communities while generating strong returns for investors. Don also dives into leveraging partnerships, tax incentives, and long-term strategies to build wealth in real estate.

Don Spafford helps people grow passive income and build wealth to achieve their financial goals. After nearly 20 years in corporate finance, he transitioned to real estate investing and, in just five years, created enough passive income to leave his corporate job.

He specializes in RV campgrounds with 12-15% cash-on-cash returns for immediate income and build-to-rent communities for long-term equity growth.

Don’s wife, a Keller Williams Realtor, works with investors, especially those buying in Eastern Idaho. Together, they are passionate about helping others achieve financial freedom through real estate.

We sit down with Jeremy LeMere, a seasoned real estate investor with over a decade of experience in multifamily, commercial, and self-storage properties. Jeremy shares his journey from rehabbing single-family homes to scaling into syndications and operating a robust portfolio under Star Property Management Group.

In this episode, Jeremy highlights the importance of systemization and operations in property management, sharing his engineering and Six Sigma expertise that drive his value-add strategies. Hear how he tackled challenges with tenant occupancy, streamlined operations with technology like AppFolio, and successfully transitioned into fund-based investments with the Navigator Wealth Fund. Whether you’re interested in syndications, scalable systems, or the intricacies of real estate funds, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Jeremy began his real estate journey when he purchased his first duplex in 2010. He began investing with the goal of retiring by the time he turned 55. In 2011 he earned his MBA, which changed his investing trajectory. Leveraging the opportunity brought by the Great Recession’s foreclosure market, he began rehabbing single family homes in 2013 to quickly build equity in his portfolio. He now spends time helping others learn about real estate by participating in regional REIA organizations and the local apartment associations, where he actively encourages others to get into real estate.
