Ryan Berry

I grew up in Newark, Ohio. After graduating high school in 1994, I went to Kent State University. I met my wife at Kent and we have been married now for almost 10 years. We have 2 amazing kids (ages 7 and 5). I majored in Accounting and eventually went on to get a job in public accounting and get my CPA license. I had always been interested in real estate mainly due to my dad owning some property. I saw the financial benefits so, as soon as I could, I started studying. I bought my first home in 2006. That was one of the scariest yet most exciting times of my life. I have now been investing in real estate for about 5 years. I started out buying single family homes as rental properties. Well, it turns out that I was buying these homes when the real estate “bubble” was just getting ready to burst. I put the brakes on acquiring rental properties until I figured out what was going on in the market. I changed my focus from rental properties to short sales. As I was trying to find my way through all of the different investing options, I decided to focus on wholesaling. Wholesaling is nothing more than finding a good deal and passing it on to another buyer. This was by far the easiest strategy, also the most lucrative. I saw a real opportunity in short sale investing...but the paydays were few and far between. Wholesaling was paying off and short sales were becoming more and more prevalent. So, I switched again, focusing on short sales. This time I took massive action! Because of my experiences over the past 5 years or so, my business is well rounded and I’m able to take almost any situation and make it work: wholesale opportunities; short sales; foreclosures; lease option. Now, every opportunity is a good one and I make them work. This is a people business and I help people better their current situation. I treat my clients with respect and I am honest and upfront with them about who I am and what I do. I live by The Golden Rule and it benefits everyone. Contact me!
