Ross Hamilton | Connected Investors Why real estate? “Real estate is the most exciting and sensible investment. The risk is very low and the reward is very high.” Biggest real estate “win” so far: “Being able to start off as a wanna-be real estate investor and make enough money to fund the building and growth of ConnectedInvestors.com has been not just my biggest [real estate] win, but my biggest life win. Fast-forward 10+ years, and billions of dollars move through our platform. Connected Investors has surfaced as the online meeting ground for

buyers, sellers, and lenders to use to connect and transact.” What people say about Ross: “Ross chose to build something that would build new real estate investors rather than selling his company [when he received a lucrative offer]. Now, ConnectedInvestors.com is growing at an explosive rate and serving more investors than ever.”

Rosario Terracciano | Clickinvest Why real estate? “Real estate is one of the few standing asset classes left that is ripe for data-driven disruption. It has always been an amazing instrument to build long-term wealth and net worth.”
