Bit of a different episode today - Jerome Myers (guest on episode #13) runs a podcast called Multifamily Missteps and we did a podcast swap! This is a great episode where he speaks with Kristen Ray regarding a deal where things went awry.

I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner of Vytal Investments, LLC, and co-founder of Vital Investment Partners, Kristen Ray.

Let’s dive into Kristen’s story that not giving up, no matter how many times you fail, can eventually lead you to the success that you have been dreaming of.
