Robert Scholem left his job as a senior executive to start his own real estate management and acquisitions firm, Rhoam Realty Group, on Long Island during the recession. While the struggling economy has posed challenges, Scholem believes demographics are on his side and has focused on serving both aging property owners looking to retire from management as well as novice investors. One year in, Rhoam has started slowly but Scholem expects growth and plans to continue investing in the business for long-term success.
