What happens when a U.S. Air Force Special Operations officer trades deployments for Delaware Statutory Trusts?

In this episode, Bruce Bean sits down with Steve Haskell, founder of Anchor 1031, to discuss his journey from military service to raising over a billion dollars in capital for passive real estate investments. After seven years on active duty and time spent deploying around the world, Steve made the decision to prioritize family life — and that pivot led him into commercial real estate.

Steve shares how he entered the world of syndicated real estate, helped scale a capital raising firm to $600 million per year, and later launched Anchor 1031 after serving in leadership at Realty Mogul. Today, his firm specializes in helping investors complete 1031 exchanges into Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) — offering passive, diversified access to institutional-quality properties.

What if a personal crisis led you to discover the true power of real estate investing?

In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, Bruce sits down with Kathy Fettke, founder of RealWealth, to talk about how she turned a life-altering moment into a mission to help others build passive income through smart real estate investing.

Kathy shares how her husband’s melanoma diagnosis forced her to rethink everything. With an over-leveraged home in California and little backup protection, she quickly learned how rental income could provide financial stability. That experience sparked her journey into interviewing top wealth experts, including Robert Kiyosaki, and discovering key principles that still guide her investment strategy today.

She explains the four fundamentals she looks for in a market: job growth, population growth, affordability, and infrastructure expansion. That framework led her to invest in Dallas before the 2008 crash — helping her and many others avoid financial disaster while building strong cash flow and long-term appreciation.
