Started out in the restaurant business. Culinary school & Hotel/ Restaurant BS degree, Worked as Chef, manager and owned a sucessful restaurant, sold it and wondered if there is a better way to prosper without working huge hours. Started going to local Landlord association meetings and after asking a lot of questions, my jaw hit the ground.. Wow.. this sounds great. Read everything about real estate investing and decided to get my real estate licence to have an inside view. Resaerched markets and compared with areas I wanted to live and raise my family, then made the big move. Haven't looked back since, just keep buying and holding great income producing apartment buildings, and yes.. It's full time for me. Best decision I ever made besides asking my wife to marry me !
