Let’s welcome the guests to today’s show, Gemma Wood, Joey Arico, and Jhae Antoc.

The objective is to track their journey throughout the course of a year to see exactly what it takes to become successful in this space. 

Nico meets with each participant once per quarter, to get updated on progress and to follow their journey. Now, we’re in the fourth and final quarter for the year 2021, and we are more than happy to hear how they have been so far this year.

Vince’s real estate experience began early in life. His family has always shared the value of property investments, passing on the knowledge and the assets from generation to generation. After he graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Business Management, he started his career in Risk Management for construction and development. He found himself getting close to different development projects, contractors and seeing how the property landscape was rapidly evolving in the Bay Area. He started investing in syndications right out of college, seeing the power that equity growth could bring. He eventually became a Partner and Owner at his Brokerage after growing his client base and adding significant value to his firm.

He has built a meaningful network of like-minded real estate entrepreneurs and had success with his acquisitions across the domestic U.S., targeting markets that are poised for growth. He plans to bring the same level of success he has seen from these efforts to his client base at Laurence Rose Capital, so they all can share in the promise of building generational wealth for their families. Vince is an active Member of the Board of the Santa Clara University Bronco Builders Association, Construction Financial Managers Association (CFMA), and United Contractors Association.
