My name is Dante' M. Shackelford, and as the Founder and Managing Principal of Financing Growth, I bring nearly two decades of expertise to the forefront of real estate finance and investment advisory. Throughout my career, I've successfully closed over 1200 real estate transactions, totaling nearly $400 million in volume. My extensive dealings have not only given me a deep understanding of market dynamics but also revealed a critical gap in support for small residential investors.
Unlike typical lenders who focus solely on selling loan products, at Financing Growth, we are committed to helping investors grow. Our approach goes beyond transactions; we provide a foundation of knowledge that transforms our clients from everyday investors into savvy professionals. This commitment is deeply rooted in my personal experiences with industry 'gurus' who, despite their best intentions, often lack fundamental investment knowledge. It's not uncommon to encounter celebrated experts who struggle with basic concepts like Net Operating Income (NOI). This widespread issue contributes to a cycle of the blind leading the blind, which we aim to correct.
At EMx University, we do more than just challenge this status quo—we revolutionize it. Our goal is to elevate the industry by offering institutional-quality training that's accessible not only to small investors but also to real estate agents, brokers, and yes, even the gurus themselves. By bridging the gap between amateur enthusiasm and professional expertise, EMx University is setting a new standard in real estate education.
Our courses and resources are crafted to empower you with the analytical tools and strategic insights that are typically reserved for the top echelons of the investment world. From understanding complex financial intricacies to mastering market cycles and economic indicators, our curriculum is designed to turn challenges into opportunities for growth and success.
Join me at EMx University, where we equip you with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of real estate investment with confidence. Together, we will redefine what it means to be successful in the competitive landscape of residential real estate. Let's elevate your expertise and transform your investment approach, paving the way for a future where your financial aspirations are not just met—they're exceeded.,
