I strongly believe in the ability of the private sector to solve society's most complex problems and that entrepreneurs are the foundation of it all.I started my first company in 2010 after reading that a mere 3% reduction in energy demand would mitigate the need for a controversial coal plant in my home state. In 2013, while still building that company, I made my first investment in a post-WWII duplex in an up-and-coming neighborhood because I felt I could generate a better return than what I was getting in the stock market. This coupled my passion for remodeling older buildings with delivering quality, energy-efficient, green homes to the market. My experience with that project in addition to my relationship with a fellow community member would become the genesis for what is now re-viv; a private equity company focused on providing profitable investments for our investors while improving the communities we serve.To date, I've built a real estate portfolio that's averaged a 25%+ annualized ROI, and I have enough passive income I could retire. My goal is to help other start-up founders, active real estate investors, and those who already know the benefit of passive real estate investing continue to build wealth so they can pursue their passions the same way I have.. Matthew Ryan is a real estate investor who has a great story to share and words of wisdom to impart for both beginning and veteran investors alike, so grab your pen and paper, buckle up and enjoy the ride.
