Roland Brown

I worked in a corporate finance career for 11+ years. I was very good at what I did but I always knew that it just wasn’t for me. I couldn’t be trapped at a desk. Early on in my career I began my pursuit of entrepreneurship, starting (and often failing at) several small business ventures that I worked as my side hustle evenings and weekends. From the beginning, I knew knowledge and learning was essential, and for the past decade or more, I have devoured every book I can get my hands on. Every month my book list contains selections on business, finance, real estate, investing, economics, personal development, philosophy, religion, and more. I have invested money on seminars, workshops, and masterminds to gain valuable lessons and continued to learn quickly. This helped because I got to leverage other people’s mistakes. But, the biggest learning happens when action happens. In 2018, after 5 years of studying real estate, I purchased my first investment property. We completed a long distance rehab and placed renters where we cash flowed at $450/mo. As a visionary, I quickly saw where I wanted to be in the next 5-10 years and knew that I needed to make a few career changes to make that happen. I became a REALTOR® to improve my market access and to stop seeing REALTORS® roll their eyes when I explained what I was looking to do. My wife and I worked alongside each other, helping people buy and sell real estate in the northern Dallas area. I continued my focus on investors, helping numerous investors purchase rental properties as well as large land investments. Two years after becoming a REALTOR®, I left my corporate life and am now solely focused on real estate, bringing many of my corporate and data analysis skills into this realm. Our latest project was the acquisition of 23 acres. We have been working through entitlements and are working with the city to develop a 300+ unit community. I thoroughly enjoy speaking with investors who are looking to start or expand their portfolio. As a visionary, one of my favorite things is to strategize and problem solve. Whether you are a budding investor lacking a clear vision or someone with lots of experience and a bursting portfolio looking for a shift, let’s connect! We can chat about your goals, vision, and execute a plan. Strong business relationships are my jam! DFW is attractive to investors for many reasons although it doesn’t fit everyone’s investment outcome goals (as it is NOT currently a cash flow market). If it’s not the right fit for you, I’m glad to make introductions to my wide network of fellow investors across the country. Either way, let’s connect today.
