He started by acquiring single units of real estate and self-managing these properties. However, managing all of the units on his own became increasingly burdensome and labor-intensive. Recognizing that this approach was not scalable, he pivoted towards larger apartment buildings with over 100 units. This shift opened up opportunities for retail investors, ultimately leading to the launch of the Avista Fund which he cofounded with Nikita.

Do you find yourself chasing new ideas all the time, only to leave them unfinished? If you're a therapist looking to expand your practice, you might be battling a case of “too-many-idea-itis.” But there's a simple antidote: F.O.C.U.S., or “Follow One Course Until Success.Are you caught up in “too-many-idea-itis”? If you're constantly dreaming up new programs, courses, and membership ideas (and starting half of them!), you're not alone.

We'll explore why therapists often fall into idea overload and how a little science and a lot of focus can help you finally see results.

Collectively, he owns and asset-manages 869 multifamily units, approximately 25,000 sq ft of commercial space and he passively invests in 2,034 units as an LP.

He developed a skill set specific to value-add multifamily because of all the affordable design builds he has participated in - simply by living in a very frugal community. Personally, he loves to have fun in everything he does by being a positive influence through Christ. He also enjoys reading, playing basketball, cycling, cooking, and being involved with his wife, three children, family, and friends.
