Hector Padilla got his big start in real estate acquisition and investment through the fix and flip business. In his short years in the industry, he has purchased more than $84 million in property and is currently focused on apartment buildings and commercial office space. He has built up his own firm so that he can now enjoy thriving passive income with significant time freedom.

The journey to financial flexibility wasn't easy. Padilla got his start in California in the early 2000s in a challenging market. He started by flipping houses when the market was down and enjoyed a surprising level of success before moving on to apartment buildings and setting even bigger challenges.

Along with his solid credentials as a licensed real estate broker, accredited investor, real estate columnist, proven syndicator, and professional speaker, Hector has closed on more than 1,000 transactions.

Hector now oversees HP Capital Investments specializing in property analysis, due diligence, structuring of acquisitions, rehabbing, and property management. He believes that the fundamental way to obtaining real wealth and exponential growth in a short period of time is with a mentor.
