Lee Fjord got his start in real estate in 2012 building a property management department of a residential brokerage from 20 doors to 220 doors in 4 years. After being inspired by his clients’ successes, he decided to start investing in 2016. Relocating to St. Louis in order to pursue investing in 2017, Lee began with a duplex and continued to purchase smaller properties until he found “The Power of Partnerships” by partnering with an ex-NFL player from CA and with their combined efforts, were able to close a 38-unit apartment complex Joint Venture in Lee's backyard of St. Louis, MO in October of 2019.
