I am a practicing pharmacist with six years of experience in the field. Three years ago I started seriously looking into how to tackle my ever-growing student loan debt. I stumbled into a lot of literature concerning how to handle money. All roads seemed to lead towards entrepreneurship and in 2019 I took the first step in real estate.
I bought my first property in 2019 and I have been blessed to accumulate 8 doors within that time period. Along the way I have had the privilege of participating in small start-ups and also helping to fund a number of small businesses. I am in no way an expert in the field however, the little that I have learned has helped me to stabilize my finances.
My entrepreneurial and real estate journey has been so revelatory that at every chance I get I try my best to share the opportunity with others, I guess you can call it a passion of mine.
