Meet Rob and Nat
Who We Are &
How We Got Started
We’re Rob and Nat—real estate investors, builders, and firm believers in building your own financial future… literally.
​
We didn’t start with wealth, connections, or a big portfolio. Just two 20-year-olds, fresh out of college with $30K-a-year jobs, zero down payment, and a whole lot of determination. Our journey started in 2013 with a basement-level condo that quickly turned into a financial reality check.
​
That's when my parents shared a game-changing secret of sweat equity loans. A way for us to build a brand new home for 0% down! So that's what we did. We rolled up our sleeves, put together a small bungalow design and jumped in, hammer in hand. Then we added a basement unit to "house hack", turning expenses into an income stream.
​Wanting to repeat the process, we ventured into new construction of multifamily homes, eventually founding our investment company in 2018.​
​
What started as a way to stay afloat became a blueprint for financial freedom. We discovered the power of Build to Rent—a strategy that allowed us to create new properties instead of chasing overpriced fixer-uppers.
Today, we’ve built a portfolio of rentals that gave us financial independence before we turned 30. And more importantly, it gave us freedom: to travel, to raise our family with flexibility, and to live life on our own terms.
​
We’re still active investors—just no longer trading time for money. Our goal now is to help others see what’s possible. Because if we could build all this from the ground up, so can you.
​
Today, we own a $13M portfolio, all from new construction properties, mostly small multi families like triplexes, fourplexes, and sixplexes but our journey continues...
"When trying to accomplish a goal, don't compare yourself to others. Just put your head down, focus & get it done."
