He began his Real Estate journey at the age of 21 when he purchased income producing real estate without any professional training. Those first creative transactions helped assure him that the realm of real estate was going to be the major focus of his upcoming years. After his first couple of years of investing in different areas of residential and commercial real estate, he moved onto land development where he completed multimillion-dollar projects in the South East United States.
Alex is an expert in the investment areas of residential real estate, land development, commercial real estate, creative finance, raising capital, multifamily, property management, international investment and private money lending. He has invested in many markets in the US, Puerto Rico and China.
Alex’s analytical background in engineering and international experience has proven to be a solid foundation since the beginning of his own real estate investing company in 2001.
Currently Alex is involved in manufacturing, real estate and financing projects from the financial standpoint to the day-to-day development planning and execution. Alex is a resident of the beautiful Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. He has personally mentored investors across the US, Latin America and China in the business of real estate investing and private lending.
