About Ash Patel
Ash’s RE journey started with a mixed-use building in a college town where he learned that residential tenants added wear and tear to his apartments and commercial tenants improved their space. In the 10+ years since that first property, Ash purchased retail, industrial, warehouse, mixed-use, restaurants, medical, office, etc. The commonality in his deals is extraordinary returns beyond what Multifamily properties can produce. He has invested in over 30 properties with a total value of over $50mm.
