Maturana, and I am the founder of RAPT Hospitality, a craft catering and event management company serving New York City, Miami, and Amsterdam.As I delve deeper into the real estate world, I’m eager to explore various investment strategies, including house hacking, the BRRRR method, rental properties, creative hospitality ventures, triple net investments, vacation rentals, syndications, and joint ventures.
