Finding Opportunities and Taking Action

Money often proved to be essential to any real estate investor. But despite the odds, Robert kept finding ways to be successful in his career without breaking the bank—and you can too! Lack of money is not as big of a hindrance as you might think. Loans are not something people should be ashamed of but rather something people should understand. As long as you are smart with your money, you are sure to get it back double or even triple its initial amount.



About Robert Benenate:

Robert Benenate is a New Orleans native who is passionate about construction, renovation, and Real Estate. He started doing business from the ground up and now has over 30 years of renovation and construction experience. Robert has worked on many projects, including his newest major conversion project worth 1.7 Million.

 

In 2008, Robert made his first investment. It was a renovation project to an otherwise unlivable house. He did it without taking any money from his pocket but with capital money that he has loaned from the bank. His strong mindset of looking for opportunities at best and even worst of times and taking immediate action drove him to be who he is now.
