Axel is an active real estate investor and host of The Multifamily Wealth Podcast. He purchased his first multifamily property during his sophomore year at the University of New Hampshire where he earned degrees in Finance and Entrepreneurial Studies. While at UNH, he was a founding member and Co-Managing Director of the Rines Angel Fund, the first and only undergraduate student-managed angel investment fund in the country.  

He became interested in real estate investing as a product of his studies of alternative investments leading to the founding of his real estate investment firm, Brickleaf Properties, and is continually searching for new multifamily properties and communities to invest in. Currently, Brickleaf Properties owns approximately $7.2 million in multifamily real estate, has flipped numerous homes, and has been a principal party in over $18 million worth of transactions.
