About Me
I underwrite deals the way I buy them: as an owner and operator.
I’ve invested in Columbus real estate since 2014, starting with a rental I kept instead of selling and building into a self-managed small multifamily portfolio. I’ve been licensed with Swiss Realty Group since December 2022. My focus is multifamily from 5 to 150 units across Columbus, Ohio.
How I Work
Every deal gets three reads. The bank lens: what the debt actually looks like at today’s rates and terms. The operations lens: year-one expenses under new ownership, with taxes reassessed at the sale price, insurance at today’s renewal, and CAPEX accounted for, rather than the seller’s trailing T12. Finally, the buyer-conviction lens: what the asset is worth to the buyer most motivated to own it.
My expense inputs come from the field. I work within a vertically integrated platform (brokerage, property management, and construction), and I co-own our capital and development arm, Realist Capital. The management and construction teams I work alongside every day give me current costs, not estimates.
I read the documents myself, early: title commitments, surveys, leases, rent rolls. A problem found inside the due-diligence window is a negotiation. A problem found after earnest money goes hard is a loss.
If a deal only works with aggressive rent growth or below-market expenses, I’ll tell you.
Who I Work With
Funded, decisive investors building long-term income, 1031 buyers on a clock, family offices, and funds. Experience is optional, as I can help you fill any gaps.
For my sellers, my job is to find the buyer your building is worth the most to and maximize your proceeds.
Outside Real Estate
Before real estate, I worked in tech and ran an import and distribution business, so I lean hard on data and systems. I’m married with two kids, and my free time goes to cooking, travel, and long dinners with good wine and good people.
