Al Gordon is joined by Russ and Mari, a couple from Hawaii whose journey into real estate investing began with a heartfelt conversation with their 12-year-old grandson. He shared his fear that he’d have to leave Hawaii at 18 because owning a home there seemed impossible. That moment sparked a mission for Russ and Mari: to help their grandchildren stay rooted in Hawaii and build generational wealth. They joined Lifestyles Unlimited and began investing in real estate with a purposeful plan—to provide each grandchild with equity as a launchpad toward homeownership in Hawaii. Their focus remains on creating a lasting legacy of financial growth and opportunity for their family.
