About Our Guest:

As the son of a prominent real estate developer, I was destined for greatness. Until my dad died of cancer when I was just 14, which sent me spiraling into drug addiction and to low points including homelessness, jail, overdosing, and over a decade of fighting to recover. Overcoming challenges like this gave me the determination it took to live on half of my income so I could save the other half towards a down payment and finally realize my lifelong dream of becoming a real estate investor. Today I use my gifts to help others in similar situations by working with Section 8 housing to get families out of the homeless shelter and into rental condos, while also producing up to 35% cash on cash returns. I'm also blessed to have the opportunity to be business partners with the infamous Brandon Turner, as we flip condos on the island of Maui, and do some wholesaling as well.
