From Engineering to Development: Ace Hagerty's Journey to Financial Freedom
Welcome back to the REI Mastermind Network! In today's episode, we have a special guest with us, Ace Hagerty. Ace is joining us from Nashville, Tennessee, a city he loves and considers to be booming. As an experienced engineer and contractor with 15 years of experience, Ace recently purchased some land and delved into the world of real estate development. However, after finding the contractors in Nashville to be expensive with subpar workmanship, Ace decided to take matters into his own hands. With a background in engineering, he figured he could do it better himself. And so, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Ace embarked on a journey to become a ground-up developer, building single-family residential homes and multi-family townhouses. While he admits the road hasn't been easy and he has encountered failures along the way, Ace believes these experiences have shaped him into a better investor, manager, and person. Join us as we delve into Ace's inspiring story and discover the lessons he has learned on his path to financial freedom.
