Greg is an experienced real estate investor, originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma. After graduating with his Bachelors of Business Administration from the University of Oklahoma, he served a distinguished career as a combat engineer officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2015 and earning an MBA along the way. Greg’s military career focused heavily on project management, construction planning, leadership, and decision making in crisis environments, and included multiple deployments, including Iraq and Afghanistan.

Greg began investing in single family homes in 2006, but didn’t find them scalable. His “aha!” moment was learning about the power of syndications and the scalability of multifamily real estate (i.e., apartments). While preparing to retire from active duty in 2015, he joined one of the leading national multifamily educational and mentoring programs. This gave him the education and network to begin investing passively in multifamily real estate syndications, and then to sponsor them, to create financial and time freedom for him and his family.

Greg is constantly striving to learn more about the world of commercial real estate syndications and asset management from mentors and peers. He has been a Meetup group organizer and co-organizer in the San Diego area to help others learn and get their start in multifamily real estate until shortly before they moved out of California. Greg and his family now live in the greater Phoenix area with his oldest stepdaughter and her husband nearby. His daughter is a nurse in Southeastern Wisconsin and his youngest stepdaughter lives in Washington. He enjoys running, hiking, the beach, skydiving, motorcycle riding, and hanging out with his wife and dogs.

Kristina (Tina) Butcher is originally from Torrance, California. After living in and traveling to different parts of North America after high school, she settled in the San Francisco Bay area to work and raise her daughters. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the California State University at Hayward in 2004 while working full time and being a single parent. Both before and after that, her primary career has been in accounting and bookkeeping for small to medium sized businesses. She also owned and operated her own catering company for a time. In 2016, once her daughters graduated high school, she followed her desire to get “back to the beach” and moved back to Southern California. Less than a year later, she met Greg.

Greg had already begun sponsoring multifamily real estate syndications when they became a couple. Tina quickly recognized the opportunity it offered not only to them, but – as a former single working mother – to a variety of people concerned with growing their wealth and planning for retirement while handling life’s challenges. Therefore, in 2017 began working with Greg, helping primarily with the company’s financials and back-office affairs. She also helped operate a San Diego apartment investing Meetup group before they moved to Arizona. Tina’s oldest daughter and her husband live nearby in the Phoenix area and her youngest daughter lives in Washington. In addition to real estate, her passions include cooking, party planning, family, her dogs, and the beach.
