About
Hi, I'm Ray.
I'm a middle school financial literacy teacher, wealth and real estate coach, and investor based in Brooklyn. I have ownership in 900+ units across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas, and I work with individuals, families, and students all over the country to do the same kind of work I had to figure out for myself.
The goal is always the same: turn financial overwhelm into a plan that buys back time.

My story
From corporate finance to 900 units.
I didn't grow up planning to be a wealth coach. In 2007 I graduated with a degree in Financial Economics and went to work at Ernst & Young. The path looked perfect on paper. Within a few years I knew it wasn't for me. So in 2010 I quit and went back to school for a master's in Math Education.
A few weeks into that program, my dad was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. He was a Vietnamese immigrant who'd worked his entire life so my family could have ours. He passed two and a half years later at 60, never getting to see his kids married or meet his grandkids.
That made it real for me. Time matters more than money. But the right kind of money buys time back. So I got serious. I tracked every dollar in and out. I maxed retirement accounts, automated index funds, parked savings in high-yield accounts. Most importantly, I diversified into real estate: joint ventures, private money lending, turnkeys, BRRRRs, commercial multifamily, even a marina. Today that's ownership in 900+ units across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas.
None of it was a single big bet. It was a series of small, deliberate moves over years. That's the playbook I teach now, because it's the one that actually works for normal people with day jobs and limited time. My goal is to inspire others to break out of the rat race the same way, through asset ownership and income streams that compound while you live your life.
