CFA®-Led Planning for Real Estate Investors

If you're building a real estate portfolio, you're likely juggling acquisitions, rehab timelines, cash flow, taxes, and risk. You want a plan that lets you buy the next property without derailing your investments or your life, and you want guidance from someone who speaks your language.

I'm a CFA® Charterholder with military service experience who helps rental, BRRRR, and fix-and-flip investors use securities-based lending (SBL) to acquire properties while keeping their investment portfolios compounding.

My mission is simple: help you scale tax-efficiently and confidently by coordinating financing, investment management, repayment timelines, and exit strategies - including 1031 and 721 exchange planning - so every deal fits your bigger plan.

What sets my approach apart:
  • SBL expertise: Structure portfolio/pledged asset lines to fund acquisitions without liquidating investments.
  • Keep your portfolio working: Investment management aligned to your SBL plan to help offset borrowing costs and manage risk.
  • Deal modeling and repayment: Pro formas, stress tests, and clear repayment timelines tied to cash flow and milestones.
  • Tax-efficient exits: 1031 and 721 exchange coordination with your CPA and Qualified Intermediary to defer taxes and preserve momentum.
  • Direct access, fast coordination: Work directly with me - lender, CPA, and attorney collaboration included.
  • Values-driven, plain-English advice: Clear numbers, timelines, and next steps on every engagement.
