Corey attended the US Naval Academy where he graduated in 1997 and accepted a commission in the US Marine Corps as 2nd Lieutenant. Corey began real estate investing around 2001 in between deployments. He completed every real estate course under the sun and took action. Having built an investment company part-time, he got out of the Marine Corps in late 2004 and became a full time investor. Within a few years he had over 200 transactions worth of experience in rehabs, wholesales, short sales, lease options, owner financing, note selling, self directed IRAs, and managing millions in private money. Corey admits his first taste of failure during the Real Estate downturn. He got back up by problem-solving in a down market and where he eventually met Tom and discovered how Tax Sales provide both discounted property as well as huge interest returns on capital.  That’s where he has focused his efforts ever since. Together they founded real estate investment and training companies. Corey also voluntarily facilitates hundreds of people through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University every year and advocates true financial wisdom. Corey and his beautiful wife Andrea have 4 young children.
