About Blake Choisnet

Blake Choisnet is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, and coach. He did what was told of him, got great degrees that ‘would pay well’, worked hard, and then proceeded to be lulled into boredom and exasperation by the 9-5 life. Realizing he needed to find a way out of his full time job so he could actually live his life, he did something he thought he’d never be able to do: he started investing in real estate. What started with $10k of hard-earned savings (‘stupid money’ for tuition to the school of hard knocks) turned into a multimillion dollar real estate portfolio in 18 months. 12 months later he had enough monthly cashflow to cover all expenses and retired at the age of 32 despite his boss offering to double his salary to stay. He continued to hone his skills of finding below-market deals, raising private money, deal analysis, and real estate tax strategies, and within 5 years of buying his first property he became the first self-made millionaire in his family line.   

Blake now splits his time between growing his real estate portfolio and teaching new investors how to get started investing in real estate. He believes real estate investing is a science, not an art, and can be learned and mastered by anyone. He’s helped hundreds of new investors acquire over $50M of cashflowing real estate. When Blake isn’t coaching or buying new properties, he’s spending time with his wife Brittany and son Brandon.
