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.
