Show Notes

Here’s a fellow ex-IT guy that I would like to welcome to our show for today. Ruben Dominguez served as an executive for several Software as a Service (SaaS) companies before diving into the real estate space. 

He founded Totem Capital Group and co-founded Apartment Educators, helping people understand real estate better and guiding them to invest in the space successfully. Today, he shares his humble beginnings in real estate, his motivations for leaving an already lucrative position in the information technology world, and the mindset that led him to more than 50 million dollars in real estate and over 600 units.
