Owner - Asset Manager at Rising Sun Real Estate Group, LLC
Phoenix, Arizona Area
I’ve been a full-time, professional real estate investor since 2001. During this time I have been involved in over 150 real estate transactions and have managed over $16 million in assets. Currently, my investment group is purchasing distressed homes in Maricopa County, Arizona and reselling them on the retail market. I'm also working with an attorney in Kansas City on a private equity fund that will be used to capitalize our acquisition and repair costs. The fund will bring above average returns to our investors.
I’m a firm believer in giving back, which is why I'm also an Independent Training Associate for Nouveau Riche, a real estate education company. We teach people how to build long-term wealth through business ownership and responsible real estate investing.
I write about my experiences as a real estate investor, Realtor, and educator at Freerealestateeducation.com.
