What actionable value will you provide to our listeners?

My background in commercial real estate allows me to bring a strategic perspective to the table. I can help the audience understand how real estate fits into broader business objectives and how to align their commercial real estate strategy with their overall goals. Whether the audience is looking to expand their portfolio, reposition a property, or optimize their investments, I can provide actionable advice and guidance based on my experience in the industry.

You have a very diverse career path, what made you settle in on Real Estate? What is the difference between Active and Passive Investing?

Many people focus on Financial Freedom, but you intentionally focus on Freedom. Why is that? There is a lot of turmoil in the world right now, where do you think the housing market is going?

Key Takeaways:

"I've been enjoying and that's what I do today.

"I think it's important to have that be a part of any entrepreneurial plan, for sure."

"All roads lead back to real estate."

"I knew that I wouldn't be able to do a whole lot of projects before I was out of money."

"It helps when you've got partners that you know, like and trust to take down these much larger properties."
