Financial Peace Is a Strategy, Not a Dream.
Sam Kwak: How to Build Wealth With Purpose Using HELOCs and Real Estate
Sam Kwak is a real estate investor, serial entrepreneur, author, and licensed pilot, best known as one half of the Kwak Brothers. His mission is simple but powerful: to help every American family achieve financial peace of mind. Through a portfolio of companies, Sam helps families pay off debt, make smarter investment decisions, and solve real-life financial challenges.
Sam immigrated to the United States from South Korea in 1999, settling in Chicago with his family. As the son of a church pastor, he grew up facing financial hardship while navigating language and cultural barriers. In 2012, Sam and his brother Daniel launched a mobile DJ business, which they later sold to begin their real estate investing journey in 2014. After years of struggle, they experienced a major breakthrough in 2017—scaling from zero to over 75 rental units in just one year.
Today, Sam educates and empowers investors worldwide through YouTube, live stages, and the FORCE Strategy, a system he co-created to acquire real estate without using personal cash or credit.

- What the FORCE Strategy is and how it helps investors acquire property without using personal cash or credit
- How education, software, community, and income-producing assets work together to create lasting freedom
