Humvees, Counter-Strike & Financial Freedom - Ryan Fagan | Coffee Pump (E096)

7 Jun 2026 · 1 h 39 min · S1 E96

Konnichiwa Fam, On E096, I sit down with Ryan Fagan a US military veteran and real estate investor, for a conversation on war, property investing, financial freedom, and why he eventually decided to move to Kenya. Ryan opens up about his time in Iraq, military culture in the US, gaming, buying his first rental property at 22 years old, and how real estate completely changed his life financially. We talk about:

- Joining the US military during the Iraq War

- Military training, weapons handling, and life in Iraq

- PC gaming, Counter Strike, League of Legends, and tech culture

- Buying his first rental property at 22

- Using military benefits and low-interest loans to build wealth

- Real estate investing, mortgages, leases, and bank financing

- Property laws in the US vs Kenya

- Tenant horror stories and dealing with bad renters

- Why affordability is collapsing for young people globally

- Moving to Kenya and investing in Nairobi real estate

We also get into conspiracies, UFOs, affordable housing, financial discipline, building passive income, and the realities of property investing in both America and Kenya.

And much, much more.

Hope you enjoy the episode.

Best,

Team Coffee Pump
