New Real Estate Investor in Dallas Texas.

[Brent Cheney]

Hey Everyone,

My name is Brent Cheney in Dallas TX. My wife Carolina and I have an amazing 4 year old son Alexander . From a career perspective, I have been in the Wholesale/Retail Clothing Industry for 20 years until my position was terminated a few days ago. Once the initial shock wore off, I realized this was the best thing that could have occurred…which I appreciate may sound peculiar. I am unencumbered to achieve my burning passion in Real Estate which up until now I have allowed a "comfortable situation" to kill action.

Please reach out and look forward to connecting with everyone!  

My Best,

Brent Cheney
