I am a real estate investor focused on acquiring multifamily real estate across the country. I look for cash flowing opportunities that can provide short and long term benefit to our investors. I'm passionate about the power of real estate and how it can give people the opportunity to free up their time to do what they enjoy the most. 🏢

👉  I look for off market properties in strong markets across the US
👉  I underwrite the properties based on the most accurate and realistic business plan for the asset
👉  I assemble the team that's best suited to close and operate the property
👉  Once acquired, I will oversee and ensure the asset is managed smoothly so that investors are seeing the highest benefit from the asset  

📖  I'm all about educating others on benefits of real estate and how it can provide financial freedom/independence. 📖

🔎  Above all, I believe in positive mindset and attitude 
🔎  I pride myself on being transparent in everything I do
🔎  I partner with those that share the same vision, goals and values as me
🔎  Accountability is HUGE in everything I do. I hold myself accountable to the highest standards and also expect the same from everyone around me

Exit to Excellence

At Exit to Excellence, we lead founders through the process of Exiting to Excellence, helping both the business and the founder prepare for a smooth, successful transition. As the leader of a highly skilled team, I leverage my expertise as a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) to guide founders through the 8 Exits of a Founder, ensuring they navigate the emotional, psychological, and strategic challenges that come with leaving their businesses behind.

Our work centers around:

- Exiting to Excellence, where we focus on aligning the business’s operational readiness with the personal goals of the founder, ensuring both are fully prepared for a seamless and successful exit.

- Navigating the 6 Centers of Doubt—self-image, relationships, work, health, prosperity, and significance—helping founders overcome the internal challenges that often arise during the exit process and beyond.

- Developing key resources, including books like Your N.E.X.T.: A Guide to Finding Fulfillment After Your Exit, and publishing white papers that provide actionable strategies for navigating the complexities of exit planning.

- Leading speaking engagements at EO and other prestigious organizations, where we share insights on the Founder’s Exit Paradox and provide a framework for achieving fulfillment in life after the exit.

- Consulting with founders and business leaders, using our CEPA expertise and proprietary frameworks to ensure successful exits that maximize value and align with personal fulfillment.

At Exodus, we help founders Exit to Excellence, guiding them through the intricate process of preparing for both financial success and personal growth in their N.E.X.T.
