Financial freedom for those who serve.
We’re more than a company — we’re a movement. ADPI exists to transform the lives of active-duty service members, veterans, spouses, and military families with the education, tools, and community to build real wealth.
The best place for military members and veterans to learn real estate investing and grow their passive income.
Founder Markian Sich discovered a passion for real estate while searching for the best way to grow his income. After months of research he jumped in — partnering with his family on both multifamily and single-family deals — and started ADPI to document the journey, educate fellow service members, and build a community chasing the same goal.
Soon after the site went live, other investors joined the team. Together they’ve grown ADPI into the largest community helping those who serve build wealth through real estate — 81,000+ members strong and climbing.
A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Why I built this.
I came to this country from Ukraine, and earned my place at the Naval Academy. When you arrive somewhere new, you don’t take anything for granted — you study how it actually works. I became obsessed with one question: how do people here build real, lasting wealth?
Serving was the highest honor of my life. But I didn’t want to spend my strongest years trading them for a payoff I couldn’t touch until retirement. I wanted to build something now — so I dug into real estate, partnered with my family on my first deals, and started documenting everything I learned.
That’s all ADPI was at first: an honest record of the journey, shared with people who serve. It became something bigger because the need was real — and because nobody hands you the keys. If you want to own assets and build a future, you have to go get it. We just make sure you don’t have to do it alone.

02 / OUR MISSION
Empowering the military community with financial freedom.
You deserve more than just a paycheck. You deserve a future where your money works for you, not the other way around. Real estate is our focus because it creates real opportunities for passive income and long-term wealth — whether you’re buying your first rental or scaling a portfolio.
But our mission goes beyond education — it’s about action.We’ve built a community that thrives on camaraderie, teamwork, and a shared commitment to success. Our team has walked in your boots, faced your challenges, and understands the unique financial hurdles of military life.
At ADPI, we don’t just teach financial freedom — we live it. It’s your mission, your future, and your time to create lasting wealth. Let’s make it happen together.
