Welcome - are you ready to take control over your finances and investments?
I'm passionate about helping people take control over their personal finances - specifically through investing in tangible, cash flowing hard assets: Commercial Real Estate.
You work hard for your money and in most cases- hand it over to someone else hoping they will do what's in your best interest. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't.
In 1997, I watched my parents trust a friend and invested more than $100,000. For two teachers, that meant remortgaging their home. Fast forward 6 months, and they lost it all. For the next 10 years, my parents kept working to pay off their home for a 2nd time. (BTW- I too invested in that deal and lost everything I'd saved to go back to university- $13,500).
That experience lit a fire under me, to figure out how the wealthy invest. What do they do differently? How do they find unfair investing advantages to keep and grow their money? And, to make sure that my parents and friends never fell for this type of horrible investment again.
Today, after 15 years of experience investing in real estate, I help professionals and entrepreneurs who want to take control over their investments.
You get the benefit of learning from someone who's invested and made millions and, lost, not millions- but several hundred thousand. With more than $300M in real estate transactions- you can model my framework for finding the right commercial properties to invest in.
If you want to stop trading time for money to make more intelligent investment decisions.
A warning: This is NOT common investing advice, and these strategies are not widely dispensed online for the masses.
If you're an entrepreneur, a doctor, or engineer earning well above the average income – you are uncommon. And it's my belief you can't listen to average advice geared to the masses.
For a people earning mid-6 and 7 figures to spend half their working hours on a rental house or trading the stock market to hopefully make a few extra thousands of dollars a month- it doesn't make sense.
Here’s the truth, that took me years to discover. Very few people are taught how to create a substantial net worth. They don't teach these things in school.
So many people do one of two things:
- They delegate their investments to someone else and hope their money will be invested in the right things and, or
- They making quick investment decisions with little due diligence or having any framework to base their decisions from.
The problem: without financial education to understand a good investment from a poor one. Or, a framework to evaluate potential investment opportunities it’s difficult to create substantial wealth.
Investing in commercial real estate is not get rich quick. Without the proper education or guidance unfortunately many investors fall into one of these three most common pitfalls. All of which I learned the hard way and are totally avoidable. Let me explain (click here to keep reading)…
How to create passive, residual monthly income investing in Commercial Real Estate.
The most common problems I hear from highly skilled professionals:
- I'm too busy, I don't have time to research and find the best properties. What type of properties should I be looking at?
- I want to invest in commercial properties- but I don't know where to start?
I started investing like many new to real estate investing. I flipped houses, built new homes and built up a portfolio of rentals. I don't regret it, as I learned some valuable investing lessons.
But, I was working a demanding job at the time and investing in real estate had me bust 80+ hours a week. I was far from creating passive, predictable cash flow from my investments.
It wasn’t until I met my mentor (now my father-in-law) who showed me how the wealthy invest. How to find value add real estate opportunities that can generate millions in profit.
In my latest book, you'll discover how even one commercial property could replace your earned income. It's not uncommon for 1 commercial property to pay several hundred thousands/year in revenue. You just need to understand which properties to look for and where.
