They specialize in assisting clients who are sick and tired of the headaches and uncertainty of the stock market and have a desire for a more stable approach to achieving their financial goals. Cash Flow Connections helps investors to turn their portfolio from a speculative gamble into a secure and reliable cash flow machine.

Hunter starts us off with an interesting story about his Grandfather who made and lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the cotton industry. It’s the first time he’s told this story publicly and it’s a story that comes with a valuable lesson in over-leveraging.

The music stopped, everything was called due, everything basically was eliminated and the business shut down. This resulted in business bankruptcy, personal bankruptcy, he had personally guaranteed loans, complete financial catastrophe and you know. I just what to clarify, I’m talking about going from hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to zero.

Hunter took the lessons that he learned from that catastrophic event as a motivator, and that ultimately led him down the path to real estate. 

I realized that it’s not necessary to expose yourself to those type of risks in order to achieve financial freedom.
