Devon Kennard’s Real Estate Empire Started With One Smart Move
Q: What is the biggest risk you took that paid off, and what did you learn from it?
I once invested in a multifamily syndication without proper underwriting due diligence due to FOMO; I learned to never skip due diligence and to balance debt vs equity to capture upside while controlling risk.
Devon Kennard’s Real Estate Empire Started With One Smart Move
Q: How did you transition from owner-occupied investing to becoming a lender for others?
I saw an opportunity to generate higher and faster cash-on-cash returns by lending to developers, which allowed me to earn while leveraging my real estate knowledge and underwriting skills.
Devon Kennard’s Real Estate Empire Started With One Smart Move
Q: What was the moment you realized cash flow mattered as much as appreciation in real estate?
The realization came when I understood that cash flow sustains life after football; I shifted focus from chasing big returns to ensuring steady, repeatable income to cover long-term needs.
How Bad Relationships Cost Athletes Millions
Q: How important is striking while the iron is hot, and how should athletes handle peak moments?
Peak moments amplify attention and opportunities, so athletes should leverage those windows to connect with influential people, expand their networks, and establish lasting ventures rather than assuming the spotlight lasts indefinitely.
How Bad Relationships Cost Athletes Millions
Q: What is the mindset for young athletes when they suddenly gain wealth and access?
The mindset should focus on producing on the field while simultaneously cultivating relationships, seeking mentorship, and building a network that can provide guidance and opportunities after retirement.
