generational wealth for my family. I want to build something larger than myself that will continue way after my time has expired. Spending quality time with my family is important to me. By investing in real estate and creating passive income, I am able to buy this quality time to spend with family and friends. My purpose in life is to make a large impact in the community and on my family and friends.

I’m also passionate about being able to share the benefits of alternative investments (e.g., multifamily syndications managed by experienced operators) and the impact they have on someone’s financial future. My vision for the future is to become one of the top multifamily owners in the nation by creating strategic partnerships, building a strong team, and implementing the proper systems for scalability. My goal is to acquire 100,000+ multifamily units and build a strong real estate portfolio. I also plan to be vertically integrated in all aspects of managing and operating multifamily real estate inhouse. We currently have in-house construction and JNT Construction, and we
