Live Life on your Terms
The main reason why I started Investing Architect is to help professionals like you live life on their terms. Many of my clients follow a very similar path. “Go to school, work hard and graduate so you can get a great job that will set you up for life”. Sound familiar? That was the predominant life strategy of the 20th century. The problem is that after following that advice, many professionals find themselves shackled to a job they don’t like that keeps them from spending time with their family or pursuing things they really love. To me, living live on your terms means having the freedom and options to choose how you spend your most valuable resource: your time!
A First Generation Immigrant
Originally from Albania, a beautiful and rugged country on the Mediterranean sea in southern Europe, I came to the US as an exchange student in 1999 and was the first member of my family to go to college.
We appreciate the good things in life by way of contrast. My background as a first generation immigrant has given me an advantage to better appreciate the unbelievable opportunities that are available to anyone willing to work hard and follow in this great country. Growing up in a totalitarian and communist country was not easy – but it has also provided me with a unique point of view that I utilize to spot opportunities and help my clients apply to reach financial freedom.
Experience and Expertise
Over my real estate career of 20 years, I have helped my investor clients purchase over $250MM+ in real estate assets to build wealth and streams of real estate income. Also, I have been involved in rolling out several small multifamily communities for local builders in Texas and I currently represent Value Builders Inc in all their small multifamily (1-4 units) communities in Texas.
My academic background is in accounting and finance where graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Houston in 2005. Also, I have completed the prestigious Certified Commercial Investment Member education curriculum (CCIM 101-104). Last, in 2017 I successfully completed the coursework for the Certified Financial Planner Program at the Susan M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies at Rice University.
Core Values and Investing Philosophy
At Investing Architect our core values are: Character, Long-Term Worldview and Results.
First, character is the principal value that underpins every action we take in life as well as in investing. When you work with us, you can count on our uncompromising integrity and honesty. We are fiduciaries which means we place your interest above our own.
Second, we think, make decisions and act in accordance with a long term worldview. We don’t cut corners or take shortcuts at the expense of your long term strategy and results.
They say “the path to hell is paved with good intentions”. Our value is in the results we deliver for you, not our efforts or intentions. We are driven and oriented by the results you obtain.
Our investment philosophy is strategic and prudent. We prefer slow and steady to fast and reckless. We take risk seriously and help you mitigate it well throughout the life of the investment. Most importantly, we never skimp on quality of assets, tenants or strategy.
We believe that your investments should serve the life you want to lead, not the other way around.
Our investing principles are proven and time-tested. This is not a get rich quick program. We adhere to investing principles that rely on a disciplined approach over the long term to win.
