Creative Real Estate Entrepreneurs (examples)

[Jon Q.]

If you aim to become successful via creative means, competition is irrelevant because you’re creating a new playing field. Over the last ten years, I have come across many real estate investment entrepreneurs that exemplify this creative spirit. Here are examples of just a few:

Entrepreneur: The Power Brothers / Power Properties (Dallas, Texas)

The Power Brothers acquires and rehabbs very old apartment buildings to create unique contemporary lofts. Young urban professionals appreciated the architectural details of these properties so much so that they were willing to pay above-market rental rates to rent them.

Entrepreneur: Craig Hall / Hall Office Park (Frisco, Texas)

Office park featuring a variety of art

Entrepreneur: Jakob Medve / The Medve Group

Upgrading apartment complexes to meet student demand featuring unique art (large sculptures, art on buildings, etc..).  Jakob fully refurbishes his properties with a line of products produced by a separate entity he runs called "VIMA Décor".  This art is imported from China.

Entrepreneur: Houlihan’s Restaurant & Bar

Houlihan's is a restaurant that is known for it's live music.  Founded in a Leawood, Kansas in 1961 by Paul Robinson and Joe Gilbert, Houlihan’s is a restaurant with music and creativity in its veins.
