S2 | Ep: 10 - Finding Money Before Finding Properties
In this episode of Faith Valor Growth, host Dominic Licata welcomes realtor Carlos Bartell from Keller Williams Advantage to discuss their upcoming first-time homebuyer seminar for veterans scheduled for November 15th at Elam Restoration church in Detroit. The conversation explores their faith-based partnership and shared mission to serve the veteran community, examining VA loan benefits including the often-misunderstood assumability feature that allows veterans to build generational wealth. They analyze current Detroit real estate market conditions, walk through the complete home buying process from pre-approval to closing, and discuss the importance of proper inspections without letting minor issues derail purchases. Carlos shares his most rewarding transaction involving a 24-year-old first-time buyer whose success shifted his entire perspective on real estate from commission-focused to mission-driven. The hosts address common buyer mistakes including comparing current prices to outdated market conditions, the "I'll just wait" mentality that costs years of equity building, and the critical importance of complete financial transparency with lenders. They emphasize finding money before searching for properties, understanding income breakdowns, and avoiding common pitfalls like spending down payment funds or making large purchases during the loan process.

S2 | Ep: 9 - Real Estate Investing for Veterans Explained
In this episode of Faith Valor Growth, host Dominic Licata turns the tables in a "flipped script" format, sitting down with his sister-in-law Kathleen Garmo for an intimate conversation about his mission to combat veteran homelessness through real estate investing and VA home loan benefits. Dominic shares his personal journey from struggling with addiction to building substantial wealth through strategic property investments, explaining how veterans can leverage VA loans to purchase multifamily properties with zero down payment and create passive income streams. The conversation explores his ambitious vision for Faith Valor Growth, including plans to build custom four-unit veteran housing communities in Phoenix, Jacksonville, and Pontiac that would allow veteran homeowners to live rent-free while providing affordable housing for homeless veterans. Dominic passionately advocates for all veterans to file for disability claims, countering the common objection that doing so takes resources from others by explaining how unused funding actually reduces future allocations. He emphasizes the three pillars veterans need for successful transition—direction, purpose, and community—and how faith provides the foundation for all three. The episode includes powerful personal reflections on family, the role of money in mission work, and how surrounding yourself with supportive people enables bold action toward meaningful goals.
