While still a college student, he bought his first rental property at age 21. From there, Chris expanded into development, private-lending, buying distressed debt as well as commercial offices, and ultimately syndicating multifamily properties. He began syndicating deals in 2016 and has been actively involved in over $400 million of real estate acquisitions.

• Chris’ single-family background and his strategy to become financially independent through multifamily
• The lack of financial education and Chris’ ideas of how we can better serve the youth
• Nassim’s Taleb’s bar bell strategy
