Midwest Multifamily Operator
Multifamily Investing, From Someone Who Knows The Building.
35 years in trades, maintenance and facilities management, before I ever raised a dollar of investor capital. Now I bring that background to owning and operating multifamily real estate in the Midwest.
No pitch. Just a conversation.
My Story
I Didn't Learn Real Estate At A Desk. I Learned It Through The Experience Of My Hands.
I bought my first house with no money down. None of it was mine. Just some books and tapes I picked up in my twenties, back in the late 80s and early 90s.
My dad taught all of us boys to build our own homes. I'm the youngest of four brothers, and every one of us has built our own house. I do the electrical, the HVAC, the plumbing, some framing, and the roofing. The only thing I don't do is drywall and cement.
I trained as a multi craft machine mechanic and spent the next 35 years in trades, maintenance and facilities, long before I ever called myself a real estate investor.
"By the time I bought my first multifamily property, I wasn't starting from zero. I'd been building things my whole life."

Who I Work Best With
Investors Who Want An Operator Who Knows Buildings
A lot of the people in my network trade time for a paycheck. So do I. If you've built a career with your hands, you already understand more about real assets than you think.
If that sounds like you, I'd rather have a real conversation than a pitch.
W-2 professionals building wealth outside their job
Maintenance, facilities, trades and operations professionals
Business owners with capital ready to deploy
People who understand hard assets and practical execution
Investors who want a passive role, but appreciate an operator whose hands are on the property
How I Evaluate A Deal
Analysis First. Excitement Second.
I'm still early in the capital-raising side of this business, and I'll say that plainly. What I'm not early at is taking responsibility for a building and the people counting on it. I'm not doing this alone — I combine my own hands-on experience with team review, legal review and broker relationships built through the REI Accelerator process.
Analyze the deal before falling in love with it.
Look for enough upside to justify the risk.
Understand the building systems, not just the spreadsheet.
Use experienced team members for additional scrutiny.
Protect investors, because their trust is the foundation of every future deal.
Stay involved enough operationally to solve problems when they happen.
Where I Invest
Midwest Markets I Actually Know
My focus is small to mid-sized multifamily assets in Midwest markets I know well — places where I've lived my whole life, where friends and family live, and where I understand the neighborhoods, the rents, and the renovation costs firsthand.
Local conviction doesn't replace market research. It adds a layer a spreadsheet can't give you.
