Chris Lenyk, an active-duty Air Force officer with a remarkable journey in real estate investing and a passion for helping others succeed. With over 21 years of military service and a PhD in nuclear engineering, Chris brings a unique perspective to the table.

 

Chris and his wife stumbled into real estate investing in 2010 when faced with a sudden relocation, starting as out-of-state landlords with no prior experience. Their journey, filled with ups and downs, emphasizes the importance of education and building a supportive network. Over the years, they've transitioned from residential to commercial multifamily investing, culminating in the successful acquisition of a 13-unit boutique hotel in North Carolina.

 

Beyond real estate, Chris is deeply immersed in meditation and has spent years studying under Tibetan monks. He believes in the transformative power of internal growth and applies this philosophy to his investing strategy and team building efforts.
