“The Accelerator was a turning point for how serious we got with our real estate investments and our portfolio.”
– Jess Finnegan (USMA ‘01)
“One of the things that resonated with us is taking action. It was awesome to get the education and put it to use…the network that we have allowed us to go for it and invest. The network really kicked us off and introduced us to other aspects of the network that we’ve continued to use over the last several years, which allowed us to keep going.”
– KC Finnegan (USMA ‘01)
Check out the latest Real Estate Accelerator podcast! Jess and KC Finnegan met at West Point (class of 2001), where they both participated in athletics, KC played hockey and Jess played lacrosse. Following graduation, both Jess and KC executed multiple combat deployments from 2002 to 2009. They transitioned from the service in 2010 in order to grow their civilian career and raise three young children.

They are some of the highest achieving investors we know, selling one property through a 1031 Exchange, buying a Short Term Rental, a primary home, a fourplex investment property in Tennessee, and an 8-plex apartment building in Arkansas, not to mention a single-family rental in Georgia just for fun. And, that’s just the beginning!
