In this episode, host Dave Dubeau chats with Tommy Hardaway, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and real estate entrepreneur who shares his journey from single-family rentals to niche commercial properties. Tommy explains how landlord struggles and lessons from his father led him to pivot toward recession-resistant assets like RV resorts and self-storage facilities.

Tommy unpacks:

• Why he gave up on single-family homes after 20 years of landlording.

• How self-storage offers fewer headaches and strong returns.

• Why RV resorts surged after COVID—and how seasonal and transient guests drive income.

• The surprising upfront cash flow from RV parks and dynamic pricing strategies.

• How veterans can build their own retirement path through smart real estate investments.

He also gives us a peek into his own show, Adapt and Overcome, aimed at empowering fellow veterans and investors.
