This week we're joined by Philadelphia Native and Crown Capital Co-Founder, Noel Parnell. Noel is no stranger to hard work and quick thinking. As a young adult he was a high school, college, and Olympic track and field athlete, later working as a scientist for GlaxoSmithKline. When the recession cost Noel his job, he pivoted and fast into real estate, househacking his way into a meaningful portfolio in Philadelphia and elsewhere worth over $6 million that straddles all asset classes. Entrepreneurs will love Parnell's energy and approachability. You won't want to miss what he has to say about how martial arts feed his real estate career, and the investment he got over a handshake on an airplane.
