How I Created a Business Helping Physicians Invest in Real Estate

A talk by Eric S. Tait, MD, MBA
Founder, Vernonville Asset Management

Email eric@Vernonville.com and his assistant will setup a time to chat if you’re a potential investor.

WATCHED – Savvy investor. MBA. Seems to chase what’s hot right now. For now, sounds like he’ll be chasing some “hard money” deals where he and others give private high interest loans for property that is hard to get a loan for (like damaged property). If the borrower defaults, you just take the property. If pays, you get 12-15% return plus 1% of the loan upfront.
