Our Charming & Witty Founders
G. Brian Davis
Real estate investor, financial writer, globetrotting expat, self-aggrandizing cook — Brian preaches lifestyle design and intentional living, and practices it himself.
He’s lived in five countries, and spends 10 months of the year overseas with his wife Katie and daughter Millie. When he’s not on a podcast teaching people how to create passive income from real estate or writing as a guest expert for Inman or REtipster, he’s hiking in Patagonia or wine tasting in Mendoza or surfing in Lima.
Deni Supplee
We could tell you all about how Deni’s been a property manager for nearly 40 years. Or how she’s a licensed real estate agent, landlord, and land investor, and has owned vacation rentals and mixed-use commercial buildings over her career.
But mostly, Deni just wants to tell you about her kids and grandkids. The more passive income she earns from real estate, the more time she gets to spend with them.
