About Roger Luri

Roger Luri lives in Chicago with his wife Christine and two teenage sons. “Growing up in Chicago, I’ve been intrigued by architecture and building since I was a kid” “I wrote “Don’t Buy a New House! BUILD IT and Don’t Buy Multi-Family! BUILD IT” to help investors to understand the advantages of building new construction properties and to learn the process for themselves. 

So many people invest substantial portions of their net worth in real estate without ever thinking through their strategies. They get help from brokers to complete their transactions, but don’t ever get the help they need to plan their investments effectively.” Roger has been in the real estate and development business for well over 30 years. His companies have specialized in home building, real estate development, general contracting, architecture & design, and real estate brokerage. 

He formerly served as a director on the board of Ravenswood Bank. Roger’s other passion is martial arts. He began training in the early 1980s. He and his wife Christine founded and operated Kensho Martial Arts in Chicago from 2011 to 2020. The Kensho team provided life-changing training programs for kids and adults of all ages. “Through my martial arts training and teaching, I’ve been fortunate to connect with awesome people from all over the world and learn from some incredible instructors. I’m extremely grateful for my extended martial arts family”.
