Nathaniel Hovsepian is an active real estate investor, entrepreneur, and YouTube star (minus the star).

Experience
Nathaniel served in the Marines from 2003 to 2007, doing one tour of duty to Iraq. After getting out of the Marines, he worked as a mechanic for a few years before deciding to get his bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. It was there that he met his future wife and business partner, who was also getting her Engineering degree.

While attending college, he began investing some of his savings in the stock market and quickly caught the investing bug. Then, shortly after graduating, he began his journey in real estate, becoming fully invested in September 2019 when he started The Expert Home Buyers.

Nathaniel also runs The Friendly Investor Blog, where he tracks his journey through real estate.

In addition, he has a YouTube channel, CodyFan#1, dedicated to health and fitness, which is meant to inspire people to go out and reach their life and fitness goals through commitments and hard work.

Nathaniel knows that anyone can be a successful investor and is determined to help provide education and pathways that will lead even completely novice investors to success.

Education
Nathaniel earned an A.A. in Natural Sciences at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif., and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Cal State Long Beach.
