I’m a commercial real estate broker based in Chicago, specializing in medical office and healthcare-related properties.

Hi, I'm a medical professional who is very interested in real estate.

My focus has been building stable, low-turnover housing for medical residents and fellows,  professionals with demanding schedules who value quiet, reliable living environments.I’m currently completing an entrepreneurship MBA at UIUC and building data tools to identify U.S. markets with high concentrations of medical residency and fellowship programs paired with favorable tax structures and infill potential.

@Drew Horton I have not done dental deals before but do a fair number of retail medical. 

In recent years, however, the region has begun attracting more attention from real estate investors looking at long-term demographic and economic trends.Several factors are converging at once: population migration from coastal California, tourism growth, infrastructure investment, and continued demand for housing in lifestyle markets.For investors evaluating new markets, the Coachella Valley offers an interesting case study of how regional economic forces can shape real estate opportunities.Migration From Coastal CaliforniaOne of the largest drivers of housing demand in Riverside County is migration from higher-cost coastal markets.Many households relocating to the Inland Empire originate from:Los Angeles CountyOrange CountySan Diego CountyAs housing costs in those areas have increased significantly over the past decade, inland markets have become attractive alternatives offering larger homes, warmer climates, and a different lifestyle.Population projections estimate Riverside County could grow from roughly 2.4 million residents today to more than 3.6 million by 2060, making it one of California’s fastest-growing regions.The Coachella Valley—home to cities such as Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indio, La Quinta, and Rancho Mirage—captures part of that migration because it offers a unique combination of lifestyle amenities and relatively attainable housing compared with coastal California.Tourism Remains a Major Economic DriverTourism is one of the primary engines of the local economy.Several major annual events attract large numbers of visitors to the valley each year, including:the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournamentthe Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festivalthe Stagecoach country music festivalthe Palm Springs International Film FestivalIn addition, the region has more than 125 golf courses, resort casinos, and extensive outdoor recreation opportunities.

They then applied for high-value "hard money" loans backed by the victims’ properties, submitting falsified documents including bank statements, rental agreements and medical records.

I’ve personally navigated the fire of a 250-lb weight loss, cancer recovery, and thyroid issues without medication by rebuilding my biology from the ground up.I’m here to learn from the best in real estate and to contribute my insights on how to eliminate the Trauma Tax on our energy and focus.
