📍 Stephens City, VA | 📈 Entrepreneur | 🏡 Aspiring Real Estate Investor
Hi, I’m Scott! I have a strong background in sales and business development, with years of experience driving revenue growth, building high-performing teams, and closing deals. My career has been centered around helping businesses scale through strategic sales initiatives, but I’m now channeling that same drive into real estate investing to build long-term wealth.
My wife and I are in our early 40s, both work full-time, and are raising four amazing kids. We’re actively working toward building a real estate portfolio that will generate passive income and create financial security for our future. While we currently live in Stephens City, VA, we’re open to investing in other states where the numbers make sense.
Real Estate Goals & Strategy- Investment Focus: Buy-and-hold rentals, short-term rentals, and potential multifamily properties
- Markets of Interest: Open to investing outside of Virginia in cash-flowing, landlord-friendly markets
- Current Stage: Learning, networking, and preparing for our first investment property
- Long-Term Vision: Build a diversified rental portfolio that provides financial freedom and generational wealth
- Networking: Connecting with experienced investors, agents, lenders, and property managers
- Learning: Gaining insights from those who’ve built successful portfolios
- Collaborating: Open to partnerships, joint ventures, and creative financing strategies
With my sales background, I understand the importance of negotiation, deal-making, and relationship-building—all of which I plan to leverage in real estate. If you have experience in cash-flow markets, creative financing, or multifamily properties, I’d love to connect!
Let’s build wealth together! 🚀
