David began real estate investing in 2013 with the purchase of his first Single Family Rental. Drawn to the economies of scale inherent to Multifamily, he purchased a 6-unit MF property in 2018. David has since sponsored the purchase of 1927 MF units valued over $220m.
Starting from scratch, David has direct experience with every facet of real estate acquisitions, construction, and property management. Prior to his career in real estate, David served as an Infantryman in the United States Marine Corps with one combat deployment to Afghanistan. He worked as a Firefighter/Paramedic and was specially trained in multiple technical rescue disciplines. Later, he worked under the Department of State providing Close Protection to DoS officials to include the Secretary of Defense. He deployed multiple times to Baghdad, Iraq. Finally, David deployed multiple times to the southern Philippines in direct support of SOCOM as a Search and Rescue Paramedic.
David’s diverse background has been pivotal in honing his critical thinking abilities and problem-solving skills, enabling him to navigate complex challenges with poise and resilience. These attributes are indispensable in the real estate sector, contributing significantly to his professional achievements and the strategic growth of his ventures.
