We'll learn his journey from being a successful personal trainer, having served over 10,000 sessions and 300 clients to going full time in real estate. He started with very little marketing money and built his business by making thousands of cold calls and getting face to face with as many sellers and investors as possible. He has built his organization now to a team of 11 total that is growing steadily and transacted on 45 deals in 2019. They are on track to double that number in 2020.
