Title: Don’t Hold Back, Don’t Delay: Scale While You Can with Chris Grenzig
Chris is the Founder of JAG Communities which is a vertically integrated multifamily focused investment firm based in Jacksonville, FL. Chris started Investing in Real Estate in 2016 by attempting to flip houses in Long Island, NY. After months of failing, he attempted out of state flips, purchasing tax deeds, and finally found his footing in multifamily. Chris joint ventured on just over 100 units, before joining Toro Real Estate Partners as their head of Florida operations. Toro purchased 4000 units worth $300 mil, with 1000 units in Florida over 4 and half years. Chris eventually left Toro in Nov 2020 to start his own company which owns and manages small to mid-sized apartment complexes in Jacksonville, MSA. JAG Communities currently owns and manages 40 units worth $3 million, with a 10-year vision to scale to $500 million AUM.
