Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Justin Lee.  Homeownership is a key factor in the idea of the American Dream, and no one understands that more than realtor Justin Lee. Coming from a family of real estate agents whose history in the industry goes back three generations, Justin discusses how his upbringing not only helped prepare him for his career as an African American real estate agent in a field dominated by White and European realtors, but how it also helped give him an edge in the business despite being in his 20s. Justin also shares tips on how to find way of financing a home when you don’t have the money to do so without breaking the bank, and how people can purchase large apartment complexes/buildings in their community by teaming up with one another and purchasing it as a team. If you own a home, are looking to buy a home, or are looking to buy a community building to put revenue back in your neighborhood, you certainly don’t want to miss this episode of Money Making Conversations Master Class.
