How We Discovered Legacy Wealth In Real Estate
David’s professional roller skating coach of 20 years, Elvin Griffin, passed away in 1999. When Elvin passed, he did not have a will or immediate family so David jumped in to become the administrator of his estate.
​
Unbeknownst to David, Elvin was a real estate investor. David was shocked at the amount of money Elvin was worth because of the cash flow created by his real estate investments. This wealth was passed down to a relative, showering Elvin’s legacy onto the next generations.
This triggered David to learn more about real estate, and two years later, he purchased his first piece of real estate.
In 2001, David called Jules Sacchetti, a real estate owner David met through David’s own commercial cleaning company.
David told Jules that he wanted to learn more about investing in real estate and Jules abruptly told David to meet him the next morning in Woodlynne, NJ, with a blank check.
​
With a completely open mind, David showed up the next morning in front of a duplex and listened to Jules explain the cost, expenses, and cash flow opportunity involved with the opportunity.
​
David gave Jules a deposit of $500 for the property and never looked back. Shortly after, David purchased his second property in 2002 and has continued investing in real estate ever since. Through all of this experience, it’s clear real estate investments—including larger apartments and commercial real estate—provide the most security.
