ABOUT TIM BRATZ

Tim began his career as a broker leasing ground-floor retail units in the competitive New York City real estate market. Here, he saw the true potential of real estate to transform lives. Although Tim was limited in means, he spent his time reading, attending workshops, and networking with accomplished entrepreneurs, learning that being resourceful was the ultimate path to success.

With this knowledge, Tim built his real estate company in Charleston, South Carolina, where he had relocated in search of a better quality of life. Arriving in 2008, after the real estate bubble burst, Tim quickly adapted and, using a credit card, increased his limit, and then wrote himself a balance transfer check to acquire the cheapest property he could find. With his personal investment and plenty of sweat equity, Tim transformed a rundown duplex and made a profit on his first deal. He then reinvested those proceeds, while seeking private capital to expand his growing company. Today, Tim still uses this formula for success, starting with being resourceful and having the right mindset.
