An overnight success, 14-years in the making.

I started flipping houses in 2012 and fell in love with renovating old homes. I learned more ripping apart old homes than I ever did building new ones.

I never wanted to be a landlord, I just wanted to create great homes and go travel the world. After years of learning the trades, and see how different cultures treated housing, I decided to give rental properties a chance, but I wanted to do it right, I didnt want to be a slumlord. I wanted to create great units at fair prices.

Summer of 2019 I purchesed my first rental property with my brother and before I knew it, I had multiple properties, and residents. Every once in a while, I'd get an email from an investment firm. Their emails were confusing. They bragged about their AUM and IRR's and mention that they'd gone to Harvard or worked at some big company.

They were aliens. I did not speak their language. Spreadsheet jockeys who had never got their hands dirty.

Eventually, I gave in and sold one of my properties to them. It was a brutal six-month marathon. Piles of legal documents, constant renegotiations, and calls that made me feel uncomfortable. In the end I felt like I got ripped off.
