The beginning.....
I thought we would start our first blog from our start, with the beginning of how the idea of Mogul Launcher was birthed. Giving the background to our story, I hope will provide an insight of what we are trying to accomplish.
Growing up, my father was a real estate agent turned real estate investor. As a 5 year old, most of my weekends were spent with him driving around and working on his properties . I got paid $1 a day. (Hey, that was a lot of money for a 5 year old) I learned a lot about tools and maintaining properties as the years whizzed by. I learned how to unplug tubs,sinks and toilets. I fixed leaks including roofs, built walls and dug ditches. (Fun stuff, I know)
When i was 18 years old, fresh out of High school and in college, my dad got real sick and was bed ridden. He brought me into his room and asked if I could help him with his properties until he got well. So I did what any good son would do when their dad needs help. I quit my job and school and started working for him full time. I continued to learn about the real estate business and now from a managerial point of view. (I still unplugged tubs and toilets though)
About 7 years ago I ventured on my own. Owning investment property for the past 7 years, we all know that you run into challenges along the way. It's not as glamorous as people want to make it out to be. As a property investor/owner, I would scour various websites to look for properties, local market news, regional analysis and vendors to help me manage and maintain my investments. A lot of these websites either didn't provide me the information I was looking for or led me down rabbit holes that I deemed useless. In addition, there was one well-known commercial real estate website that charged an arm and a leg to view it's properties and didn't provide much more then that. They were the only real estate site around. We had no other choices.
So, out of this frustration, I came up with the idea of Mogul Launcher. Mogul Launcher not only brings all of this pertinent information to one site, it's a real estate hub. It's a market-place where those interested in real estate investment will be able to utilize our site to assist them with their real estate needs.
We are a company of 5. We are excited about providing Mogul Launcher as a tool for real estate investors. We have completed phase 1 of our site and as we receive feedback, we are trying to button up some loose ends. It is definitely the bare bones of what we envision for Mogul Launcher. We are proud of how it has come out and are excited to get this company off the ground. Our next 3 phases are planned out and ready to go. We are currently looking for funds to get these phases rolled out and will keep you updated as to how we are progressing. We hope you will join us as we build this company into a service that will be helpful in your real estate endeavors.
Happy Hunting!
