“Cash Flow Is King” | I help busy professionals upgrade their lifestyle & achieve financial independence through commercial real estate investing

In 2018, I got into real estate and thought I could create passive income all on my own. 

Boy was I wrong...

I learned that to generate passive income, you have to work with a team. So I joined one. 

I'm Brian, Director of Investor Relations at a Houston-based real estate private equity firm with over $500mm of AUM. 

We’re a rockstar team that's been trusted with over $100mm of capital from investors just like you.

I help busy, high-income professionals put their money to work in smart, risk-adjusted real estate investments.

My mission is to help others build passive income with real estate to help them leave a legacy they can be proud of.

I'm driven by one of my favorite quotes, "cash flow is king, but relationships are gold."

We first seek to understand each investor's unique story & goals… then we find cash-flowing investment opportunities that align with their goals. 

Each month, we invite new members to join our private Investor's Club exclusively for high-income, accredited professionals.

If you're interested in joining, follow the link in my "Featured" section. Once you apply, we'll schedule a quick consultation call to see if you're a good fit for our firm. 

If you're a busy, high-income W2 professional, successful business owner, or someone looking to 1031 exchange your portfolio into a passive position, let's talk! 

Happy Investing,
Brian
