Steve Cavanaugh

Mike Shock
Steve Cavanaugh founded real estate investment firm Southern Maryland Home Buyers Inc. in 2003. Steve’s areas of expertise include rehabbing, wholesaling houses and land, buy & hold strategies, financing/deal structuring, hard money lending, self storage, short term rentals, self-directed retirement account investing, location-independent investing, work/life balance and coaching others to become successful. Steve’s renovations have been featured on HGTV, and in 2017 was awarded winner of Think Realty Magazine's “Best Kitchen Renovation” in their Renovation Rock Stars contest.
Steve created a local Maryland real estate investment mentoring & coaching program/investment consultation business through which he and his student partners sold in excess of $80MM+ in real estate projects since 2007. His students enjoyed a near 100% success rate, which is unheard of in the industry. Several of Steve’s students quit their full time jobs to pursue a full time REI career.
In 2019, Steve and his dear friend, fellow investor and widely-known REI podcaster Alex Pardo formed a unique hybrid coaching/mastermind group, ASCEND. ASCEND is an exclusive community of like-minded successful investors and entrepreneurs that not only want to take their business to new heights, but also want a happier, more fulfilled life. Since its inception, ASCEND members have partnered on lucrative deals while forming life-long friendships.
Steve’s guiding principles are: “quality over quantity” while always looking to “work less and make more”

Mike Shock: I started my real estate career while watching my Mom and Dad when I was a young child. When my Mom and Dad moved from a house to a new house they would try and keep the old house and rent it out. So, when we would sit around the dinner table I would hear conversations about real estate. What did we have to paint this weekend? Who didn’t pay their rent? Who is going to get evicted if rents were not collected? When I was 18, I asked my Mom and Dad “how can I start investing in real state” ? Their answer was “get a job, save money and then buy a house”. But I knew there had to be a better way. So when I tried this real estate thing on my own I would be the person that would call a seller, go see the properties, and then sit at my dining room table not knowing what to do next or how to put an offer together. I thought the words “Hard Money Lenders” meant guys will come break my legs. I had absolutely no clue. After several years of going the “FREE” route or trying to figure this out on my own, I went and found a mentor. It wasn’t until I got educated that I understood how easy it was. When someone helped me and held my hand and walked me through my first deal I said “WOW THIS IS EASY”.. From there, the floodgates opened and now I have done hundreds of deals. I’m sure I was just like you. "I didn’t know what I don’t know"and the fear was so great and held me back from making any offers. Also, I had nobody to ask questions to. But when my mentor showed me exactly what to do each step of the ay. It was like adding the missing piece to the puzzle. What I thought to be impossible before, was now doable!!!
Matt Fullerton
Shane Bloyer
Mike Casey
Matt Fullerton: I worked with Express Homebuyer in acquisitions. I was promoted to Acquisitions manager and then Director of Sales and Acquisitions over the course of the first year. Myself and the COO turned around a company that was hemorrhaging money trying to do 20 flips at a time with a bad contractor and about to go under, to a wholesale operation that averaged over $1mm in wholesale fees per month. I left EHB in 2018 after a new CEO came on board and it became clear the culture he was installing wouldn't be acceptable to me. I started Chesapeake House Hunters with a partner, Darryl Wilson, right after leaving Express. We used some pretty innovative strategies to make just shy of $1mm in wholesale fees in our first year, and we've done well this year despite COVID. My ex wife and I also have a business, F6 Properties, LLC. It's a flipping operation, and we do 2-3 flips on average per month, and I wholesale the properties we decide not to flip. She's the driving force of that operation with design, project management. I primarily function in an acquisitions and dispositions role and am less active in the project management and design. It's a good partnership. I've also done some consulting on the side. Mainly helping businesses build and train an effective sales team. I led and helped Tarek El moussa rebuild his entire main sales operation in CA, promote the right people, fire the wrong people, and bring in replacements that would get the job done. It was a mess when I began my contract and after 90 days we had installed a much better leadership team, sales process, and culture. They're doing much better now, and you can see the houses they buy on his show!

Mike Wagner
Terry Royce
Ken Holmes
Mike Wagner: After spending 6 years and a quarter of a million dollars earning three degrees, Mike entered the real world as a Physical Therapist. And while he enjoyed the rewards of that profession, he quickly realized that other people (ie- his bosses) had more control over how he spent his time than he did. With that, Mike turned to real estate as a way to regain control of his time.
Between 2007 and 2010 Mike deployed what is now known as the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to build a portfolio of 31 one apartments and though he did so pretty quickly and was making money, it became clear that this strategy was not getting him where he wanted to go fast enough. And, he was getting more burnt out by the day. He was working 40 hours a week at a J-O-B that he no longer loved and then chasing rents and managing contractors on nights and weekends.
Knowing something had to change, Mike made a pretty dramatic transition to self storage in 2011. He bought an under-performing storage property and quit his job to turn it (and his life) around. Since then, Mike has used storage to achieve a level of freedom and lifestyle (for himself, his wife and his kids) that many believe is out of reach. He made over $1 million on each of his first three properties and now owns a free and clear self storage portfolio worth almost $4 Million
Mike is determined to prove that anyone can use ordinary garages to create an extraordinary life! Toward that end, he started the Storage Rebellion in 2018 which has quickly become the premier self storage training organization as well as the most robust self storage investing community in the country!
Terry Royce: is the host of The Self Storage Playbook Podcast, based in
Fallston, Maryland. Before entering the self storage business Terry focused on
single family real estate, and has completed over 700+ real estate
transactions since 2008, including over 600+ wholesale deals alone. In
2020 Terry decided to focus on Self Storage, and sold his portfolio of
31 rental units, and put a pause on his prior real estate business to
focus on growing his self storage portfolio.
.
Terry owns a facility in Georgia that he has been turning over & ramping up since spring 2020 and is looking at expanding that property, as well as being an
investor in 2 other properties, while on the hunt for the next facility. While not hunting for deals, Terry, his wife & 2 kids spend a good portion of the year traveling both domestically & internationally.
Ken Holmes: After graduating college and bumming around the world for a while as a raft guide and ski bum, Ken began his business career in 1987 as a real estate appraiser. He began buying rentals a few years later and flipped his first house in 1995.
He has been self-employed for about 20 years and has owned appraisal, property management, and investment real estate businesses. Over the years Ken has mastered many types of real estate investing; rehabs, rentals, development as well as self-storage. He has seen low interest rates and high. He has seen buyers markets and seller markets. He has adjusted his investing strategies again and again to meet the different investing environments. His most recent adjustment lead him directly to Self Storage, the most efficient asset class on the planet.
In his first 3 years in the storage industry, Ken has purchased $3.2 Million of under valued storage assets that have a combined stabilized value of right around $6 Million Dollars. And he did so using none of his own money! He now has way more time to spend with his wife, kids, and hobbies. He loves to enjoy the great outdoors by whitewater kayaking and camping. He is a proud husband and father of two sons and lives in South Carolina
As a real estate investing coach for the last seven years, Ken has helped hundreds of students achieve their real estate investing goals and is now blending his storage expertise with his uncanny ability to coach others to similar success.
