At 29 when Ed turned down a promotion and quit his 7 year career in project management and 6 figure income at one of the top engineering firms in the world, to pursue his dream of living life on his own terms and teaching others to do the same, his friends and family were somewhat perplexed. But not for long. Ed used everything he learned from his childhood, professional life and passion for real estate and stock investing to create a successful portfolio of 215 doors of rental properties worth over $19MM. Then he shared all he learned with his friends, family and now you!
