By Realty411 Staff
Like any American family , Dutch Mendenhall and his wife , Vanessa , are looking toward the future .
" My wife recently said to me , ' We need a Plan B ,'" Dutch said . " I said , ' What does that mean ?'" The couple began to hatch a getoutofdodge plan in case of any impending disasters in California , where they live , or the country .
Brandon " Dutch " Mendenhall founded RAD Diversified , a nontraded , public REIT unaffected by the stock market , and is a highly successful real estate educator .
" My wife has not feared a day in her life . So , when she said something like that , I knew it was pretty serious ," Dutch said .
The real estate leader has been busy growing an empire through the years while educating students about increasing their investments . However , during a conversation with Vanessa , he realized that tumultuous events in the world could take away everything they had worked for in one swift move .
Dutch , who grew up in Iowa , maintains that while he grew up around guns , he never owned any until this year . While survivalist culture had never been on his radar before , he installed solar panels on his home this year . He also has a generator , 200 gallons of water , and a year ' s food supply in case of an emergency .
Dutch and his family believe that the world is changing and that everyone needs preparation . As a natural businessman , Dutch has begun merging this way of thinking with investments and deals .
The Survival Project allows investors to buy into sustainable farms . Everything from water , food , electricity , and shelter is selfcontained in the project .
