Meet the Team

The seed for Real Legacy Investments (RLI) is the pursuit of financial freedom through real estate investing. Early on, they had success with investing in residential (1-4 unit) assets, but they quickly learned that the RLI business model would have to change if the portfolio was going to achieve scale. Through hundreds of hours of diligent self-education as well as mentoring under seasoned, nationally recognized operators, Miguel and Jake built RLI. Today, they continue to grow and learn on every deal. We hope you can be a part of our story too.
