When Greg was only nineteen, he made his first real estate investment: he bought three houses on a half-acre lot, living in one and renting the other two.  After learning the value of a smart investment strategy, he partnered to build several commercial buildings from the ground up, which he still owns and manages today.  Over the last 10 years, Greg has raised $123 million and has profitably bought and sold 1,150 single-family residences in 22 states.  He is co-manager for four alternative investment options: Secured Portfolio, which gives investors all the benefits of owning real estate in their portfolio without the landlord hassles, the Buy and Hold Fund, which purchases residential real estate in select U.S. neighborhoods chosen for long-term stability and profitability, ROI Strategies, which owns homes in the single-family market with a rent to own model, and Sentinel, which purchases re-performing mortgages on single-family homes.  He is the co-owner of the operational companies Hughes Private Capital and Advanced Commission.  A real estate and investment author and finance strategist, Greg has been a regular guest on Nevada Real Estate Radio, Money Watch Channel 2 News with Kristin Remington, The Blend in Las Vegas, and a speaker at the Small Balance Real Estate Summits.  He is also a Trusted Advisor for Freedom Founders, which helps medical professionals invest in real estate to achieve financial freedom.  Greg was born and raised in Reno, where he lives with his wife, Tanja, of 30 years.  They have four children – Kayla, 28, Hayden, 26, Tate, 23, and Dexter, 22.  He enjoys golf, tennis, pickleball, and snow skiing.
