QUOTES "I learned really quickly that I wanted to be the IRA investor lending. I wanted to be the guy that was lending me the money because he wasn't doing anything. He was passively collecting checks, not paying taxes." - Greg Herlean “I'm a true believer when it's your retirement money, you've spent maybe decades on saving that we want to answer all your questions. We're going to make it smooth. So we do a 15, 20 minute phone call. That's it. Get your application filled out over the phone. Then it's emailed to you, so you get to review everything that you filled out.” - Greg Herlean “The amount of money that's there to do different deals and the amount of opportunities is limitless.” - Greg Herlean SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS Brandon Brittingham Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mailboxmoneyb/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brandon.brittingham.1/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittingham/ Greg Herlean Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregherlean/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gregherleanpublic/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregherlean/ WEBSITE Brandon Brittingham: https://www.brandonsbrain.org/home Greg Herlean: https://www.gregherlean.com/
