Gabriel shares his insights from nearly 15 years of experience buying and holding single family homes, duplexes, apartments, and mobile home parks. After the housing market shifted in 2008, he discovered seller financing and has steadily built his business through relationships in and around his home town. Gabriel gives us some great insight into what it means to adapt to the real estate market and the advantages to investing in your own backyard.
