I came to the United States with nothing — zero dollars to my name. No English. No connections. Just a drive to make something of myself.
I broke into real estate the hard way — cold calling. Dialing strangers for hours every day, getting rejected over and over. Most people quit in weeks. I kept going for years.
In 1998, I joined Capital Commercial Group Inc. as a commercial agent. First year — Highest Selling Newcomer. By 1999 — Top Earning Agent. From 1998 to 2003, I was the Top Listing Agent every single year. I facilitated over $100 million in transactions.
But I was building everyone else’s wealth. Finding the deals, doing the work, watching investors profit while I took home a commission. So I made the switch — from agent to investor.
In 2002, I made my first multifamily acquisition in Florida. I made mistakes early on. But every mistake taught me something no classroom ever could.
I stuck with one asset class — apartments. People always need a place to live. You can improve the property, increase the income, and force the value up. You control the outcome.
25 years later — 5,000+ units, 40+ properties, $504M+ in total asset value. I built this through relentless effort, perseverance, and a deep commitment to growth. Now I help others do the same.
Early in my career I touched every asset class. Retail, office, industrial, land, notes, condos. But multifamily is different.
People always need a place to live. Office buildings sit empty. Retail loses anchors. Apartments fill up because housing is a basic human need.
Multifamily also lets you force appreciation. You don’t wait for the market. You improve the property, increase the income, reduce the expenses, and the value follows. You control the outcome.
I’ve been through recessions, rate hikes, insurance spikes, and COVID. My portfolio performed through all of it — because the fundamentals of this asset class are that strong when you operate it correctly.
That’s why I only do apartments. And that’s why I teach others to do the same.
