Hindsight is 20/20, and my education (courtesy of the school of hard knocks called Life) has shaped my approach to real estate investing and how I help others achieve their goals.Since 2021, I’ve been working full-time in real estate, specializing in assisting both local and out-of-state investors in acquiring small multi-family properties and short-term rentals.I would love to meet up with you and further discuss your REI interests and goals.

Still not 100% on the route we'll take on our fist project together, but I like to know as much as I can regarding all of my options so I can make an educated decision.
