How can you use your skills from your day job to scale an investment portfolio to 450 units? Listen to our guest, Ron Plonis, explain how he used his computer science background to help him build systems and scale his own portfolio, then sold it off completely. His career has spanned nearly 15 years, and his experiences give insight into how things have changed from pre ‘08 to now. Things from raising capital, selecting areas to focus on, and how to determine the greatest point of value creation are all topics covered in this as Ron lays it all out for you.
