Obi Dorsey is the founder of Freedom REI, a real estate investing business focused on wholesale deals and fix and flips. Being a new entrepreneur, he’s not shy to say he’s only been in this business for four years. He said he owed his company to his frustrations over working 60 hours a week, having no time for his family, and just basically lost control over his destiny. He said he named his business Freedom because he liked the idea of controlling his own path.
Today, Obi talks about his life experience, the reasons he got into real estate, how he got started and who helped him get the hang of it as well as his tips on where to get leads.
