Ryan is a double graduate of Wake Forest University with an undergrad in Psychology & Statistics and an MBA. He is a self-made real estate entrepreneur who owns and operates 20 Mobile Home Parks spanning ~1,795 units. But here's the thing: He started with nothing. No money. No experience. No network. He was a 20 something with way more student loan debt than actual capital to invest in deals. He's just a normal dude. The only thing that makes him different is that he refused to quit. And he was willing to sacrifice, and take bold action. He found creative ways to make money while he scaled his business up. He was stuck in Corporate America. He escaped. And he wants to help others too.
