Hey I’m Garret 👋 excited to be here! A little about me… I’m based out of Southern California with my wife and our 4 kids. I came from the fitness industry. Built and grew my business to mid 6 figures for a little over 10 years. It did really well for us and opened a lot of doors, but over time I realized a few things: any time I stepped away for too long, things would go backwards and I’d have to jump back in and work even harder to turn things around, and my kids weren’t gonna take over the business eventually so it would have ended with me. That just wasn’t the freedom I was after nor the legacy I wanted to leave behind. I went back to working a regular job, but about a year in, I got laid off with a bunch of others from a job that I thought was stable. Good news is that led me to a real estate investing firm that I wound up working at for 3 years or so. CoGP’d on my first 114 unit deal in June 2025, formed my own company with two experienced guys, left the company I was working for beginning of 2026, did a couple more deals as a lead sponsor and currently at 423 units. When I’m not hanging out with my family or working on real estate activities, I enjoy being active, backpacking, playing poker, programming, and being around good people. Always open to connecting with growth minded and motivated people!

There’s something special about getting your first deal over the line. After all the conversations, decisions, checks and patience along the way, it’s a great feeling to finally see everything come together. It’s been a valuable learning experience, and a reminder that progress in property isn't always about how quickly you move, but about making the right decisions and working with the right people. One milestone reached, plenty more to learn, and hopefully many more opportunities ahead. Onwards from here.
