Hello from Denver, CO. I’ve been a traditional buy/sell Realtor since 2002. My wife and I married in 2015 and she started assisting me with my real estate business and got her license to do strictly property management. We started our own real estate company in Denver 2016 which offers property management for over 200 single family homes and I continue to do real estate sales.

As we are now in our 50’s, the financial independence issue is becoming a priority since I don’t want to sell houses into my 70’s as I see fellow Realtors doing. I’ve taken master leasing classes, creative deal structuring real estate classes, What Box? classes, house hacking classes and ultimately want to find a path of how to buy & hold properties using private money. Currently we own two rentals and looking to obtain a third rental in the next two years. My parents have owned their house for 46 years and still have a large house payment due to refinancing recently and no assets to show for the current situation they are in along with my father is still working jobs at 74. I don’t want to be in this situation in 20 years. The time is now and really like The Bottom Line quote I found from Jack Miller’s Workbook Buying Houses A to Z which is summarized you are responsible for your life and to believe in yourself … no excuses.

We have three children ages 12, 17, and 21 and want to teach them real estate early on to allow time to be on their side. Wish I would have joined the minute I heard about this website about 6 years ago. I bought my 10bii financial calculator after Peter Fortunato’s class about 5 years ago. Excited to be a part of the Cashflowdepot community as a lifetime member and gaining new friendships, new knowledge, and working towards financial independence; ultimately leaving a legacy for my family.
