Today on the show we have Lauren stunning. This is our Part Two from the Dunning team at Main Street Real Estate Group in Chicago. Let me tell you a little bit about Lawrence. He was born in London, he graduated with an MBA in finance and got a job at a lending Trading Company which sent him to a few cities and countries. Before he settled in Chicago. He ended up leaving the traded company and at 24. With a partner he set up his own trading company, which he ran until he was 30. And then he decided to step away from business to pursue athletic goals, which had to be done while he was young. And these athletic goals. He spent five years pursuing these are MMA fights, getting his black belt in jujitsu, etc. He became convinced at the end of that of the real estate investing model and bought his first investment property which was a commercial strip mall. I got his broker’s license five years ago, and has been a traditional agent as well.
