In 1998, he was invited to a real estate investment group meeting in Jackson, MS. He heard presentations from current real estate investors during that meeting. They discussed the many opportunities available in single-family residential houses, and the investors discussed how much freedom could be attained by flipping and renting just one home monthly. The investors were also talking about how they were helping families and revitalizing the neighborhoods at the same time. Odell knew then that he wanted to get involved in real estate investing. Fernanda’s story begins when she found a love for real estate investing by watching late-night infomercials of Carleton Sheets in the early 90s. The desire to become a real estate investor was re-ignited in the early 2000s when she attended a Trump University real estate investing event in Chicago. This is where she would be introduced to the magic of multifamily investing and Dave Lindahl’s RE Mentor program. Mark is the founder and President of Shuler Architecture and SGRE Investments. Throughout my 38-year career, he has provided design and engineering services to hundreds of homeowners, builders, and developers. He branched into real estate investing and development after seeing the wealth generated. In 2014 I founded SGRE Investments to pursue the same opportunities as helping clients create.
