I learned real estate with a tool belt on.
I grew up working construction. Before I ever wrote an offer, I knew what a house costs to fix because I was the one fixing it — framing, finishes, the stuff that blows budgets when you guess wrong.
I got licensed in 2016 and started buying. Flips first, then rentals, then the BRRRR machine: buy it right, force the value, refinance, do it again. In 2021 I opened Foraker Realty Co. in Kennett Square — today it's 80+ agents across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, with our own portfolio running alongside it: 30+ rental doors, active flips, an apartment building in the works, and roughly two deals a month of our own money on the line.
Foraker Capital exists because financing was always the bottleneck. After enough nightmare refis, we went and found the lenders who actually get it done — the ones with terms built for investors — and put them all behind one desk. Ours.
