This is part of a series of episodes coming from the MidAtlantic Summit and hosted by special guest and good friend Josh Cary of The Hidden Entrepreneur. In this episode, we catch up with Edwitch Paul, founder and owner of EP Investment LLC, a real estate company that buys and holds rehab property deals. Edwitch takes us on an amazing journey on how he came to the US from Haiti and wanted to achieve the American dream. He talks about how his first inspiration for buying real estate came from the Grand Theft Auto video game but didn’t come to fruition until he bought his first home. He also teaches us how to not feel sorry for yourself and how being a father taught him responsibility.
