From a painful mistake to a multi-million-dollar real estate empire, discover how Built to Last is empowering Black wealth through education, mentorship, and bold action.
"You get points for showing up and getting the education—but you get manifestation from executing on the education you received."
— Terri Brown Taylor, Founder of Built to Last
I wasn’t always a real estate investor. In 2009, I was gifted a property—a blessing that could have set me up for financial freedom. But instead, it became my biggest lesson. I lost money, trusted the wrong people, and sold the property for way less than it was worth.
I was just like so many professionals today—working hard, doing my best, but lacking the knowledge to truly build wealth. That mistake nearly broke me, but it also became the turning point. I made a promise to myself:
I went from struggling as a first-time landlord to building a multi-million-dollar real estate portfolio. I became a licensed general contractor, took control of my projects, and turned real estate into my vehicle for financial freedom.
Now, I teach other high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, and legacy builders how to avoid the same mistakes, master real estate, and build wealth the right way.
