Hey!
Just joined the community and wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Garret, originally from the east coast but now living in Southern California with my wife, 4 kids and a zoo of pets. Excited to connect with others here who are raising capital and scaling in real estate.
A little about me...
I've always had an interest in real estate. At 16, I worked for a gold buyer in Philly (who also owned real estate) and learned the precious metals business.
Around the same time, I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and realized owning assets, real estate and businesses was the path to freedom, however at the time it felt like it was out of reach.
So I wound up going into the fitness industry. Built my own fitness business, ran it for over a decade and grew it to 6-figures.
Between the pressure of always staying in tip top shape, missing out on family time, and realizing my kids weren't going to take over the business, I knew I needed to pivot into something that would outlast me and leave a legacy.
That shift led me into multifamily syndications.
Today I run a multifamily syndication company with a couple of partners. Together we manage $200M+ AUM< over 1100 doors, and nearly 3 decades of combined experience in acquisitions and operations.
Excited to be here and always open to connected with motivated people.
Let's connect!
