I am the Broker – Owner of Team Realty and Investment
Solutions, LLC. My experience as a real estate professional and
investor spans over 10 years.

and been sharing this information with others as an excellent
source of funding for real estate deals and receiving a higher
return on investment than traditional investments.
Self-directed retirement accounts are one of the many non-
traditional ways I help people in real estate.
