A HUMBLE BEGINING
Welcome Everyone!
Today, I’m thrilled to share with you the journey and expertise behind our real estate course, spearheaded by a true veteran in the field. My passion for property traces back to a rich family history of real estate professionals. From my grandparents to my mother, who was a distinguished commercial real estate broker, the love for this industry runs deep.
My real estate journey kick-started in college when I flipped my first property. That experience was not just a transaction, it was the beginning of a career marked by strategic acquisitions and significant financial gains. A key moment that defined my path was when I managed to secure a 183-unit property, despite facing a daunting financial shortfall. By negotiating directly with the seller, I turned what could have been a lost deal into a nearly $3 million profit. This wasn’t just a deal; it was a turning point in both my life and career.
As my career progressed, my focus shifted from acquiring individual assets to managing a portfolio of over thousands of units.. The essence of my work—finding, analyzing, and financing properties—remained unchanged. My philosophy is simple: ensure straightforward transactions and find the right fit for each investment, aiming always to maximize profitability.

YOUR PATH TO REAL ESTATE SUCCESS
"The Challenge"
still
here?
I'm not sure what to say...
I thought I would be able to convince you by now!
So, this is my last effort.
Let me walk you through a mental practice that I try to do with every big business and personal decision. Especially those that require a substantial financial commitment.
Take a deep breath.
Imagine yourself 10 years from now.
What is going to happen if you keep doing all the things you're currently doing?
Will you be better or worse?
Will today, this week, this month, or this year become a step in the direction of the person you want to become? Or a step towards the life you're trying to avoid?
If you think you will be worse... well, I think you know what you need to do (it involves clicking the button below).
If you think you will be better... how much better?
If you signed up, and we worked together, could we hit your 10 year goal in 5 years?
What if you hit it in 1 year?
That is the power of focus, and actionable knowledge.
Taking all the lessons I've learnt over the years and applying that knowledge to your business.
What kind of impact could that have on the next 10 years of your career?
The choice is in your hands.
