Rewealth

I'm a real estate investor and coach-at-heart with first-hand experience in landlording, property management, and adding value through late night renovations and elbow grease. It can be hard for real estate investors to find a financial advisor that's not pitching them on another insurance product or trying to persuade them to sell their properties and put the proceeds into securities the advisor can manage. I founded REWealth to be different: to bring real financial planning and conflict-free advice to those who hold or aspire to hold real estate directly. I've spent over ten years combined in finance, technology, and real estate. Before that, I was an elementary school teacher. In each role, the bar was held high to achieve excellence for clients, partners, and students. REWealth holds itself, and I hold myself, to the same high standards of execution and integrity. I'll add that while REWealth is open to servicing people from all backgrounds, my family and I are Christians and are members in good standing at our local church.
