Green Bay Roots, Marine Tough, Stanford Smart: Chris Jansen on Real Estate Success

From Green Bay to the Marine Corps to Stanford — and now full speed ahead in real estate, Chris Jansen’s journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, Bruce chats with Chris about how COVID-19 boredom sparked a deep dive into investing, leading Chris from civil engineering into a thriving real estate journey.

Chris shares how he leveraged his VA loan to buy his first condo, turned it into a rental, and used a HELOC to scale. He dives into his out-of-state investing strategy, how he uses property managers across multiple states, and the power of masterminds and investor communities. Chris is now targeting larger multi-family deals and aiming for full financial independence within a year.

If you're a veteran, a busy professional, or just curious how to launch your own real estate path while holding down a full-time job, this episode delivers both inspiration and a clear roadmap.
