The Final Four:

1. What do you do for your continued education to further your investing?

I listen to podcasts and attend conferences, but also newbies have information that I should be looking at in a different way than I have before. You never know where information and learning is going to come from, so it’s important to always be open to that.

2. What have been the lasting lessons you've learned along your journey?

It’s a team sport, so constantly network, track who you’re talking to, what their specialty is, and what markets they’re in because you never know when you might find something that I need others’ insight on. Keep building on your database.

3. What advice would you give to the listeners to help them grow their businesses?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and network. Go to meetups and be fearless in introducing yourself. This is a very giving industry and if you ask for advice, most people will give you anything you need to know. People have helped me along the way and I always try to help them as well.

4. How can they listeners learn more about and connect with you?

Get on our email list at APT Capital Group and connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. I’m always available to connect and talk real estate.
