Education

I graduated from Ohio State University in '03 with a degree is Spanish (Si, yo hablo Espanol y vivi en Mexico por seis meses.) I began educating myself in real estate in the winter of '04 with the purchase of, "Real Estate Riches" and went full time that August.

I had the benefit from learning hands-on with an excellent mentor, Brian Urbanski, by working and studying in his office. I was taught the very best negotiation and communication system on the planet, the Sandler System, and applied it to real estate as well as my life at every opportunity.

I became very knowlegeable on top marketing strategies as well as structuring advanced subject to and lease options deals. I have slowed down on my lease option portfolio and have been focusing on the pre-foreclosure market and wholesales exclusively after learning from the best.

I made HUGE CASH doing Wholesales. Learn it from the best HERE.

Hobbies

I love to read, currently Atlas Shrugged, but usually focus on self-improvement and biographies. I just read the Autobiography of Richard Branson, "Losing my Virginity," and excellent read. I felt like I was hanging with a billionaire for a week.

I enjoy outdoor activities such as skiing, boating, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee.

I have a passion for traveling. I speak Spanish fluently so I love Latin America and its rich culture. I travelled by myself through Costa Rica and Nicaragua and have led adventures with friends to Cuba, Mexico, and Panama. I plan on seeing the world and doing it while I can still blame my craziness abroad on my youth.

Family

I am the oldest of 4 and enjoy how unique my family is. We are a teacher, a paramedic, a college student, and a real estate and web entrepreneur.

Both my parents are involved with real estate as agents for ReMax and live in Westerville, Ohio.

I have an amazing girlfriend named Adabel who has a beautiful daughter named Camille. Adabel helps Hispanics in the Columbus market find homes and guides them through all the perilous financing issues and other challenges that many of them have no experience with. She has a passion for "her people" and it shows with every client she works with.

I am also blessed to have the best friends a guy could ask for. My buddy and business partner, Matthew, who I met while living in Mexico had the type of big ideas and dreams as I did.

We dreamed on the beaches of Ixtapa of creating something amazing and being able to bring all the people we love to the paradise beach in a tiny fishing community we had found.

Well, I think we found it and we're still looking for folks to bring with us!! Do you wanna come??

Welcome!!

It has been an absolute amazing experience building this community with members representing every part of this country.

This website started one very late night with two friends who were talking about business, dreams, goals, and just what the heck we were doing with our lives and came up with this little place on the internet for all of us to learn, grow, and share with one another.

We're glad you made it.

We're want being successful to be fun. It should be, shouldn't it? I hate the idea of wealth being something that is dull, that's pretentious, that's stiff and stoic.

Not for me, hopefully not for you either.

We created the website, but this is your community. What kind of member are you going to be?

What stories of your past experiences can you share in a blog that might change the business of someone else?

What photos can you post that may inspire others to build a business like you've had?

What mistakes have you made that you're willing to open up and share so others won't do the same?

Are you willing to reach out to a stranger on here that has similar interests and say hello?

Will you be a leader on here and start a group on an area that interests you and find others to be a part of it?

I have found that in my life when I have done something selfless, when I have given without looking to receive, the universe has always, always, given back to me exponentially.

Many people don't appreciate something when it is given for free. My hope is that although this community is free to join, that you will see the value and make full use of it.

Zig Zigglar says, "You can get anything you want in life by helping others get what they want,"

It is my hope and dream that you have a more prosperous and enjoyable experience in real estate because of this community and I will personally work hard to ensure it.

Welcome again, it's great to have you aboard!

Looking For

Investors willing to help us build a strong community.

These are the type of individuals RealEstateInvestor was created for.

Colin,

We want to say thank you for the supreme REI Connect in Columbus a while back, in particular the intro to Marco Kozlowski's LHG program. WE recently attended his bootcamp and Marco is all that. He delivered on every promise he made.......and so much more. We were BLOWN AWAY with his training. Marco's energy is empowering and contagious. Thank you for bringing him into our world. You rock!

Hey Colin,

you've been doing amazing things around the country, you're such an awesome guy! On top of everything else you've accomplished, I think that everyone on here would agree with me that this is the best REI site to be part of, to have the opportunity to network, make long lasting relationships and to profit as a team is priceless. Thanks a million!!

You've got to check out the available Wholesale DEALS that are posted on my profile page Colin and, make sure you tell everyone you know about these. They're perfect for savvy investors or anyone just starting out.

They are real deals and they really go fast, so when someone is serious about investing and making serious money like they say they are, they've got to act fast or these deals will be sold to someone who is!

Happy investing!

Hello Colin!

I receive Mark Jackson's --- MJ in his PJ's emails every day, and was delighted that I took the time yesterday, to listen to the replay of your interview with him. Thank you so much for the tips, and sharing your 'style' with us all, it's much appreciated! I look forward to receiving your CD, "Live Killer Calls", I'm sure it will be even more insightful! Thanks again, Coleen

Hey Colin,

I just got the book, (Long story dealing with Racoons) but I started to read it last night, now I am halfway through the book!! I couldn't put it down. Losing my Virginity is a great book and it really keeps you on your toes in the book. Once you read the book you will have a feeling like you can accomplish anything with some hard work and focus you can make it happen. Richard (Now I think it's Sir Richard) started out with nothing and build businesses and in so many ways in the book shows you how he did it. He didn't do it with any complex business plans, if he had a good feeling about the business he just did it. I learned that following your gut is the most important thing in business. He also surrounded himself with very bright people who knew their particular field well and he tapped there knowledge which is also very valuable. Thanks Colin for mentioning that book. I will probably read it again after I'm done!
