Ryan has been a prolific fix & flip entrepreneur since 2002 and has mentored thousands of new real estate investors during that time. He first started in real estate as an agent, along with his wife, almost 20 years ago. The success came quickly. The Salt Lake Board of Realtors named him “Real Estate Rookie of the Year” and his company won “Best of State” as well. Despite these successes, he never truly experienced the time & money freedom he though would come with that career. He noticed that many of his clients were real estate investors, purchasing and flipping homes for massive profit. While Ryan as the agent would earn a decent profit of the sale, the investors were making life-changing income, and even better, their schedules weren’t subject to the their clients. He decided to give it a shot, and soon became a massively successful fix & flipper, relying on hard work, determination, and his legendary work ethic.
