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.
