Engineer • Builder • Investor • Entrepreneur • Founder

I built my first house at 18. Construction and real estate investing have been part of my life ever since. Even after my engineering degree 10 years later, and working as a structural engineer, I was soon right back to doing what I love construction and real estate investments. This is a passion of mine, and 100+ investments later, I believe that the best investments start with the best knowledge. This app was once a spreadsheet that I used myself and shared with family and friends, now this version is faster, easier to use with amazing charts and data in seconds.
