Creating A Vertically Integrated Apartment Business
Achieve Investment Group
I’m the guy that did not thrive in a formal education environment. It was sucking the life out of me. So I dropped out of college, fell under retail because you know, I don’t have a degree, there’s not a whole lot open to me unless I want to start my own business. And back then, I had ideas but nothing formal. So I went into retail and I did that for 18 years. I quit working for other people at the age of 43 in 2000, I guess it was 13, I guess. Well, no, 2010, I think. And I got very lucky and found a really good mentor. She helped me through the process on the first one, even a little bit on the second one. And you know, we’ve been off and running since.
