Bio From Hunter's Linked In Account -
Having a background in economics has allowed me to achieve a holistic approach to analyzing real estate data and has led me to an unique perspective on out-of-state investing. The goal of my business is to help clients invest in passive cash flow opportunities that provide a healthy return on investment, without the headaches associated with the stock market's volatility. I have analyzed and closed residential real estate acquisitions, hard money loans, bridge financing opportunities, commercial and residential syndications, mobile home parks, retail opportunities, and syndicated office space investments. I have worked with multiple asset teams across several geographic locations in the US and Canada. My main priority is establishing an extremely diverse portfolio without exposing client's capital to unnecessary risk.
