Real Estate Investor
Self-Employed
Researched, evaluated, and purchased real estate opportunities in Butte, Humboldt, Kern, Sonoma, and Riverside County. Half of the properties were short-term growth investments. These investments were selected based on my ability to increase the value through sweat equity. The other half of the properties were long-term income investments. These were managed using the latest property management techniques. As a result, my units consistently earn above market rents.
