I bought my first house on a Lease Option Purchase Agreement over 18 years ago.  

I replaced, the carpet, put some fresh paint on the walls and tried to hire a "professional" to help me with the heavy lifting.  Maybe it was a blessing that one bid was too high and another guy didn't show up because I had to learn things the hard way.

Seventeen years later I have re-designed and rebuilt more homes than I can count.  While I am able to do the work myself, I've learned the power of multiplication.  Yes I pay more to others to get the work done, but make way more money as I am able to profit off of more projects.  

I'm still grateful that I'm able to roll my sleeves up and do whatever it takes to create beautiful spaces but even more grateful that I am able to design great spaces and lean into good contractors to bring that vision into reality.

I've got the vision, ability and am willing to travel for the right opportunity.  

If you have the financial resources, and a desire to build or scale a real estate business, we should talk.
