Hey everyone! 👋

I'm thrilled to be part of this incredible community. My journey into real estate started back in 2017 when I stumbled upon BiggerPockets. Their podcasts were my gateway to self-education, and I devoured their recommended books, diving headfirst into the world of property investment.

Fast forward to 2018, I made a bold move by overpaying for my first multifamily property for $274k, put in $30k for renovations, and today, in January 2024, it's valued at a whopping $650k. Alongside this success, I obtained my real estate license and have since sold close to 100 properties. But that's not all—my ventures have spanned from basic renovations to large-scale projects like new constructions, multifamily holdings, land redevelopments, and even successful wholesale deals.

Tracking my progress, I've flipped nearly $9.5 million in real estate value, raking in around $1.4 million in profits and over $100k in wholesale fees. Currently, I'm proud to manage a real estate portfolio worth over $6.3 million, boasting approximately $2.3 million in equity.

My journey hasn't been without its hurdles—I've encountered costly mistakes and faced losses, but my determination to succeed and focus on the end goal persisted. In the midst of this, I also started a family and welcomed a baby girl into my life.

Now, I'm here to connect with more incredible individuals, forge meaningful partnerships, and seek out new opportunities. I'm eager to continue learning, diving into better deals, and exploring possibilities to collaborate with like-minded visionaries. Cheers to the future and all the exciting ventures ahead! 🏠✨
