Marc Cunningham | Grace Property Management & Real Estate Why real estate? “We encourage our clients to invest in real estate because we believe it is the easiest way for a person to become financially independent over time.” Biggest real estate “win” so far: “This is our 40th year of giving purpose and prosperity to our team of 18 people simply by focusing on bringing energy, clarity, and accountability to our office every day.” What people say about Marc: “Marc is a true leader in the industry. He runs an elite property management company and has worked with thousands of investors both large and small.” PRIVATE LENDER OF THE YEAR: An investor or company excelling in the private lending sector using any strategy related to private and/or hard money. Troy D. Fullwood | Pinnacle Investments PROPERTY MANAGER OF THE YEAR: An investor or company excelling in property management of single- and/or multifamily real estate investments. Shay Guldberg | Renters Warehouse Real estate business goals: “To help tens of thousands of investors across America invest, manage, and grow their real estate portfolios because we believe real estate investing is the sure path to long-term wealth and financial freedom.” Proudest moment in real estate: “Turning employees into real estate investors! We have many employees who, after working with us for a couple of years, have begun investing in single-family homes. Some still rent themselves but understand the benefits of getting started early.” Rules for real estate: “Always work to ensure both sides are treated fairly. At the end of the day, it’s about doing the right thing for all parties even if it means risking the bottom line sometimes.”
Why real estate? “It provides me the freedom to do what I want to do: spend time with my amazing wife and raise my four boys. It also provides me with the time and money to invest in my favorite charities and help other people.”
Proudest moment in real estate: “One proudest moment was building a home- preservation model for Wall Street and the banking sector. Another is seeing students succeed and grow their investing businesses.” Lessons learned: “After investing for 22 years, I’ve learned some of the most important aspects to remaining in this industry are to give back and be flexible. Giving back helps build up more investors and change lives. Being flexible will allow you to change when the economy changes.”
