He has applied technology to his personal real estate investments and business operations. Excited to offer private lending options to my local market and beyond. Prior to Lauris Capital LLC, he and his wife started investing in local real estate. In their investment journey, they have learned many lessons along the way and have found success building long-term wealth for their family. Their long-term rental portfolio has been acquired through leveraging both hard money, traditional financing and personal investments. Along the way, he discovered the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and read through it in a few sittings. He quickly realized he was approaching his finances in the wrong way--his liabilities were greater than his assets.
