Many people have heard about the money-making power of real estate and want to dive in, but they’re afraid because they don’t have the money, knowledge, or connections to get started.
Chris Senegal was in the same boat. He took the corporate route to the “American Dream.” He got the good grades, got the corporate job, and made the big money as an engineer.
But he noticed something.
Everyone, especially his bosses and supervisors, were unhappy.
They had reached the top of the career ladder, but found it empty.
Chris decided he needed to get out.

Find out more about how Chris was able to jump into real estate and what he advises for anyone looking to upgrade their entrepreneurship to the next level.
