New Investor and Professional Athlete in the Tempe area

[Hakeem Valles]

Hi, my name is Hakeem Valles and I just completed my rookie year for the Arizona Cardinals. I moved to the Tempe area in May after the draft and now that the season is over I am ready to dive into real estate. I have always had a passion for real estate and I want to primarily focus on rental properties. I am looking to connect and network with any local investors, contractors, agents, brokers, and anyone else who would like to spread some great knowledge on the Tempe and surrounding areas.

Thank you !
