18. LLYMI • Cindy Byler - Music Teacher, Military Wife, Mom, and Financially Free Real Estate Investor

Cindy Byler is a military Army spouse of 7+ years to her high school sweetheart, Jonas. After their first change of duty station, she found herself needing to put her career as a music teacher on hold to move three times in three years. During that season of not working, she grew bitter toward the lifestyle- she had much value to add but felt unable. Through much reflection and improvements in personal finances, Cindy realized the best “job security” for their military lifestyle was through passive income- ultimately utilizing real estate to achieve passive income. As a buy and hold real estate investor, Cindy primarily invests in her hometown-area in Elmira, NY. She has been a landlord for 5 years. In the past 1.5 years, she has acquired a total of 4 properties and 11 doors. Every unit has gone through, or is going through, extensive remodeling. To make things more interesting, she currently lives in Central Texas where her husband is stationed at Fort Hood so all acquisitions, remodeling, and rentals are managed from over 1600 miles away. Cindy also resigned from her job as a music teacher to stay home with her young children and focus on the business that has already replaced her income in so little time.

4. LLYMI • Chris Grenzig - From College Soccer Coach to Stock Broker to Multifamily Investor

4. LLYMI • Chris Grenzig - From College Soccer Coach to Stock Broker to Multifamily Investor

Chris started his real estate investing journey in Jan of 2016 by trying to flip houses on Long Island NY, but ultimately failed to flip a single house despite spending tens of thousands of dollars and several months trying. Chris and his team tried pivoting to purchasing tax deed properties in Philadelphia, but quickly realized it wasn't for them. From there Chris started to learn about multifamily and started by investing passively in an 8-unit property, then Joint Venturing on another 100 units worth over $4.5 mil. From there Chris quit his full-time job in finance and joined the Toro team full time in Aug 2016. Toro has acquired roughly 4000 units worth around $285 mil and Chris runs their Florida operations totaling 1000 units acquired worth roughly $60 mil.
