Ryan Lawless, Founder and Managing Principal of Renegade Capital, has over 12 years experience as a Principal in entrepreneurial real estate. His career started in 2011 with just $10,000 in capital saved from his college bartending job. That first investment, totaling just $35,000, became the framework of his thesis that still remains today - identify value-add and distressed real estate in emerging urban neighborhoods that when repositioned offers long-term stable cash flow and asset appreciation. Since then, Ryan has directly transacted on over $300m across the United States, actively owns a diversified portfolio across four states, and is currently in development on over $120m in Colorado, where his company focuses on forward-thinking, thoughtfully designed real estate that serves as best-in-class spaces to live, work, and play.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
