My guest for today’s podcast is an investor from right here in my hometown, Eric George. Eric specializes in the niche of student housing. This is a niche that has gained popularity in recent years.
Eric is the owner of a company called Building Performance Group here in Louisville which specializes in new construction and building restoration. Eric has spent over a 15 years in this field, while building his real estate investing business at the same time.
