About Lee
I’m a CPA by training, a real estate
investor and mentor by choice, and a corporate refugee by default.
MY story could be YOUR ticket to freedom.…
June 3, 2002 started out as a typical Monday. Really nothing out of the ordinary. But before it was over I was suffering from the pink-slip blues. That day marked the beginning of the end of my 29-year journey with what I naively thought was a secure relationship with corporate America.
Unfortunately, my loyalty and allegiance to my company took a backseat to profits during a downturn. I was laid off. It’s a funny thing. You know it happens, but you can never entirely prepare for the devastation of a job loss. Compounding my sense of betrayal, I quickly realized that my loyalty did not necessarily produce a return on investment.
Like any refugee who is suddenly and unexpectedly uprooted from their familiar terrain, customs, and native language they’ve known for a long time, I was forced to leave to seek new surroundings and a new identity for myself.
Blessed beyond measure, I found a home in real estate investing. Actually, I found many homes. I have purchased, rehabbed and sold over 200 houses since September 2002.
Today, four years later, I proudly consider myself a corporate refugee who has successfully navigated the grueling journey out of the corporate rat-race and emerged with an amazing new sense of purpose and freedom!
I am now doing what I absolutely love to do. There is nothing I ever did in any of my corporate jobs that gives the sense of satisfaction and gratification that buying, rehabbing and then selling the houses gives me. And the money ain’t too shabby!
