About Adam La BarrAdam was an Air Force brat who traveled around the country before joining the Air Force and traveling the world. He is married to Raquel, who was instrumental in his decision to invest in real estate as she saw its power through her family’s investments. Adam and Raquel have two crazy boys, and they love spending time with them while building their real estate empire. His first investment property was a 62-unit apartment, which he bought while serving in Japan!
Adam currently co-leads Active Duty Passive Income’s Military Multifamily Academy and Mastermind, utilizing his passion for property research and underwriting to help guide and coach new investors. His education began by learning to analyze single-family and small multifamily properties. As his curiosity grew and his understanding of what a great deal looks like grew, he found larger commercial multifamily to be his preferred niche.
Adam is always underwriting multifamily properties and looking to grow his portfolio. He loves teaching other people how to invest, and while he claims to be no expert, he will gladly teach all he knows to anyone who will listen.
