About Johnny Lynum –REI Genius

I Didn’t Start With Capital.
I Started With Conviction.

I’m Johnny Lynum—and like a lot of people, my journey didn’t begin with wealth.
It began with service, long nights, responsibility, and a deep desire to protect my family’s future.

As a U.S. Air Force officer, I learned discipline, leadership, and how to make decisions when the stakes are high. But I also learned something else:

A paycheck alone doesn’t create freedom.

Why Real Estate Became the Mission. My Ground Zero.

Real estate wasn’t about getting rich quick.
It was about control.

Control of my time.
Control of my income.
Control of my future.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built, operated, and advised on real estate investments not from a classroom—but from real life. Wins. Mistakes. Lessons earned the hard way.

And one truth became clear:

Knowledge without action changes nothing.

Why I Founded REI Genius

REI Genius exists to close the gap between knowing and doing.

I created this platform for professionals, veterans, and investors who are tired of noise, hype, and theory—and want clear thinking, real strategy, and trusted guidance.

Not gurus.
Not shortcuts.
Not speculation.

Just proven frameworks, honest conversations, and execution that actually moves the needle.

What I Stand For

Faith. Family. Freedom. Financial Security.

These aren’t buzzwords to me.
They’re the filter behind every decision I make—and every strategy I share.

If you’re here, you’re probably not chasing flash.
You’re building something that lasts.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

If You’re Walking This Path Too…

Whether you’re an investor, a professional, or a partner looking to collaborate—
I’m not here to sell you a dream.

I’m here to walk with you, challenge your thinking, and help you turn smart decisions into lasting freedom.

Welcome to REI Genius.
Let’s execute—together.
